The craziest thing happened last Wednesday. I went to work like normal to the plasma center, it had been raining all day, but I didn't think much of it. A couple of hours into my shift, an alert came over the radio warning us to take shelter because a tornado had been spotted nearby. There were over 70 patients that had to be unhooked so they could take shelter and get away from the windows. We listened to the radio for the next couple of hours and the warnings kept being extended as more tornadoes were spotted. Finally after waiting and waiting, it was decided that we would close the office. It was the craziest day. I am glad that I didn't get blown away!

We Are home! I am so happy to be back in Utah! We had a rough start getting home. As we loaded the truck with all of our stuff we got drenched! It rained cats and dogs all day and we were soaked to the bone; there wasnt much we could do about it because all of our dry clothes were packed away. We saw a really cool rainbow and I wish I could have fit it in a pic but it was way too big. The sunset it so weird back east. It is so flat the sunset lasts forever and the sun looks like it tuches the ground. Neither of us had sunglasses and we both got sunburned eyes. Adam found some riding glasses but they didnt work so well. At least they look cute on him. lol! We drove 20 hours and never want to drive that far again. Top 5 things I am thankful for:

1- I dont have to pay a dollar every time I want to wash

2- I have a dishwasher

3- I have my own bed that isn't a foam pad

4- I have matching dishes

5- I have my own tv so I don't have to watch baseball anymore!!!

Yeehaw! We have less then 3 weeks tell we come home! I cant wait to see everyone. Its really going to be great to wash clothes when ever I want and not have to pay! Ill have my own dishes and my own bed, my own house!! And best of all Ill be able to see my family and friends!!! ( o yeah the pics are from the University of MN Campos)
