Thank you guys for all the tweets and messages yesterday–we were safe and sound from the tornadoes…it was a strange morning, but we’re perfectly fine! We had no internet either, so I wanted to stop in to see you guys today!
It’s been a couple of weeks since our last 25 things, and I’ve missed them. As stated before, they are totally therapy.
1. It’s been a C-C-C-razy day around here. Tornadoes touching down right near our house and all.
2. Everyone’s safe and sound.
3. I was working out when Matt called to tell me what was going on–so I spent most of the morning at Matt’s office with my fam. Weird, sorta scary, sorta fun.
4. I got SOAKING wet when I went out to get us some lunch.
5. Yes, even after the weather, I got talked into staying at the office all day.
6. Dad watched my waxing video bloopers…in which he made his debut on the blog.
7. I just fixed myself a cup of coffee…yummo.
8. Speaking of yum, the Cadbury bunny got the best of me this week.
9. Apparently, my I-T band in my left leg is completely knotted up–which means I get the lovely pleasure of rolling out the pain for 30 minutes before my workout–then the other pain begins.
10. I’ve had way too much fun painting lately–and making video tutorials for you guys.
11. We’ve got a “how to strip furniture” video coming Monday–go on and say “strip” a few hundred times, you might not laugh when I say it on the video.
12. First thing Gray asked me when he got in the car…”Mommy, did our house blow away?” Bless his heart.
13. He also informed me that God must have “sat down tightly” on it to keep us safe and sound.
14. After I finished quietly sobbing, I told him he was sooo right, but as hard as it would have been to lose the house, it’s not the most important thing.
15. I sobbed a little more. In a respectable way, of course.
16. I tried to talk my dad into letting me take this lamp he has in his office. He refused. Tough businessman.
17. I’m sorry, are the Orbit commercials made by someone maybe a teeny-weeny bit coo-coo for CoCo Puffs?
18. I’m going on a date tonight–The Hunger Games. I don’t know whether to be excited or terrified.
19. P.S. I saw The Hunger Games–it was both exciting and terrifying. I think I could be Catness…maybe I should take up shooting with a bow.
20. I want to escape for about a month to write a novel so badly. Anybody have a beach house?
21. I’m wondering if I could read a novel anytime soon. I love literature, love the modern read…and I get to read neither lately.
22. I REALLY want to take the kids camping.
23. Me running over a 4 foot snake Wednesday is deterring me.
24. But just imagine it–the Pioneer Woman’s s’mores + Matt + the kids sweet chocolatey faces + me (freaking out the whole time in search of snakes and other creatures)
25. I think it probably equals me getting sent back home to hide in the comforts of my snake-less home.
Geez louise with the weather in your neck of the woods! Glad you are all ok 🙂
I know, right?!? 🙂

The Hunger Games freaks me out! Just what I’ve heard at least. I think I’d miss half the movie because my head would be buried in my hubby’s shoulder! And we have an offer on a beach vacation house!!! Does that count? You can come visit WA! 😉
Glad you are all okay! Can’t wait to see the Hunger Games – loved, loved, loved the book! Hopign to go with my book club and hubby soon. Also, looking forward to your paint stripping video. Don’t know how to strip furniture and have a piece in my son’s room that needs to be stripped before I paint it again 🙂
OK, 13 made me tear up a little bit. Don’t know why, just did. Your little ones are precious (and ultra adorable).

Just recently found your blog and have tried reading up on as much as I can. Weird how you feel that you know someone because you read about them daily! Love this post, and glad you’re safe! Kim
So glad to hear that you, your family, & your home are ok!! This weather is crazy!! I’m so jealous that you got to go see the Hunger Games movie!! I read the books & LOVED them, but haven’t made it on the theater yet!! Looking forward to it though!! Also looking forward to your video Monday!! Hope you are having great weekend!!
Hahaha, I’ve totally thought the same thing about the Orbit commercials and YAY for you dad’s blog debut. 🙂
You are such a hoot!! Glad you all were safe and that God sat down tightly on your house. I hear ya on the snake thing girl ~ no way would I ever consider going camping, freaks me out! S’mores on a fire pit or even in doors and sleeping in my comfy, snake free bed are the way to go. LOVE reading your blog and look forward to your upcoming videos.
I absolutely love your blog, and 25 Things is seriously one of the best parts! I really enjoy reading them. By the way, so glad y’all are okay. Your son’s one liner about God sitting on your house was perfect. 🙂
I’m with you on the snake thing. This time of year I also live in fear of opening up blog posts and facebook pages with pictures of “ooh look what I saw today isn’t this gross” ickies. Yuck!
And I feel your pain on the IT band rolling. So sorry you’re dealing with that! The best thing that ever happened to me (other than my Savior, hubby, and kids, of course) was needing to have a knee construction and darn they had to use a chunk of my IT band to reconstruct a ligament. No more IT band knots and tightness. Awesome! Not the easiest route to solve the problem, but I’m loving the result anyway.
