football and a storm

While gearing up for the football game last weekend we, along with many other people, had quite the experience! Josh and I met up with our awesome friends April and Cole (and their 1 month old baby, Kennedy!!) so that we could to the football game together. Josh and Cole were going to go save us seats a couple hours before the game started and April, Kennedy and I were going to come about an hour and a half later so that we could arrive just in time for the opening. Well, as April and I were getting ready to leave we noticed that all of a sudden it was getting really dark outside. We thought that was really strange, and as we continued to get ready to leave a hurricane like storm hit! The wind was blowing (up to 70 mph according to the news), and the rain was coming down hard and fast! Puddles began to form almost instantly and things were just crazy! April and I were in the basement when we noticed that water was starting to come into the house! We grabbed as many towels as we could and stuffed them up against the door, creating a barrier to stop the water. Needless to say, it was SO good we hadn't let yet because 1. we could have been walking in that storm, with the baby, right when it hit and 2. the water in the basement might have continued to flood in and damage things for who knows how long before someone got to it.

Bummer I didn't get more and better pictures of this....

During the chaos we had a hard time getting a hold of our husbands, we found out our husbands some how lost each other and that they were both soaking wet and cold, and we had a hard time finding them once we got to the stadium a few hours later! Josh had found some friends and his cousin so we spent game time with them (be proud, I stayed the WHOLE game. go me!) After the game we were able to hang out some more with April and Cole, eat some yummy quesadillas with guacamole (thanks Cole!) and catch up more. Overall, it was a crazy and awesome day. I'll remember that football game  more than any others.
