Mitch worked Friday night and I went and hung out with my parents. We rented a movie and stayed in. It was so nice. Saturday, I slept in and did a lot of nothing. I ran some small errands around jenks, I may have made a stop in at Cookiedoodle. I was needing to get some prices and I saw they had a hog cookie! Well I just couldn't pass it up... Anything arkansas related gets me every time, especially cookies :)
Saturday afternoon we went to Crawfest! We have been looking forward to this for about 2 months! It was a festival in tulsa and it was so fun! Mitch LOVES boiled crawfish and let's just say we got our fair share. It was a blast! But that night after Mitch went into work-- the night got a little more interesting.
I ended up staying with my parents that night bc we had a party for my grandpas 75th birthday- and I am glad I did. I woke up about 1:00 because the storms and the wind was so bad!! Sibce Mitch was at work, I text him and we talked for about 20 min and I said I was going to try and go back to sleep. Last time I looked at the clock, it was 1:50 then I was out. Well I could hear my phone going off.. I kept getting text messages and finally after the 5th one in a row, I was able to wake up and I saw it was 2:10 and they were all from Mitch. I knew something was up. Before I could read them, my phone started ringing and it was from a number I do not recognize. I ignored it and went to read my messages. Mitch had said our alarm company was going to call me- he said they called him and said our alarm was going on- and he thought I was home and forgot to turn it off to take Bella out. I text him back and told him I was not home and them we both went into panic mode. I listened to the voicemail from the alarm company and they said they had conformation the alarm was set off and the sensors it detected were in the hall and in the living room and if I was not to answer they were sending the police. So after talking to Mitch- he was relived I was not home, I went and woke up my parents and my dad got up to go meet witht he police. They stayed there for about 30 min checking everything out and then said they did not find any forced entry and they thought with the storm being so bad, it may have something to do with that. I was confused becasue the storm had stopped about 40 min before that all happened. So I was up until about 4:30 dealing with that. I got up early enough to meet Mitch at home in the morning-so we could go through the house together. Although we knew most likely nothing had happened- it was still an erie feeling having to walk into your house after that happened and not knowing what really happened. We noticed everything was in place and the same as we left it. We were both exhausted, so we were getting ready to go back to bed and realized nothing was working in our room. Long story short- we were struck by lightening. We soon realized our air was messed up, our tv's worked but not in the outlet they were plugged into and anything that was plugged in was completely fried. Our cable box, modem, all phone charges, apple tv, lamps, etc were all fried. It was a bad feeling. And on top of that our alarm is all messed up, it goes off all the time now, so we constantly have our security people calling us. We were both very frustrated, we added it up and it was about 100 short of meeting our deductible for claiming it on our insurance. We are not quite sure what we are going to do, but after this week and all those tornados- our situation seems to be very small. I was so mad and now I am so so grateful we were safe. Especially since that same Moore tornado was headed straight towards south Tulsa. I am still in awe of what happened and just pray everyday for those people. I cannot imagine being at school and having to try and protect my kids. I would have done anything to keep them safe and I went to school hugging my kids a little tighter the next day. Also- if you know about The Vintage Pearl- if you buy an OK necklace all proceeds go to Moore. I had been wanting to go get one forever and I thought this was a good time! You can also order!
On that note- we have our last day of school tomorrow and I am having so many emotions. I still have not grasped that I get ALL summer off!!!! I don't think it will set in for a while. I will love having the break, but I cant describe to anyone how much I will miss my kiddos! They have stole my heart and especially with them being my first class, I have fallen in love with teaching and loving on sweet 6 year olds all day!! I am not an emotional person, I don't cry often-- but I can guarantee there will be tears tomorrow. Some of those kids, I think of as my own and would do anything for. As excited as I am for them to move on to first grade and continue to grow, I secretly want to hold them back with me. I had a rough day today- we had an unfortunate circumstance and it reminded me both why I am need of summer break, but also how much I love my class. These past 9 1/2 months have changed me as a person and I credit that all to a bunch of kindergarteners. I could go on and on about each one of them and how they have changed me, but I will spare you :) Straight after school, we have SummerFest- our big festival and I am working it. I am so excited! Then... hello summer break!!!!!
Have a good rest of the week!!
