Safe and Sound

I'm happy to say that after the tornadoes hit Murfreesboro on Friday we are safe and sound, others were not as fortunate. While at work we listened to the news all afternoon and I was pretty sure it had hit on the other side of town but it was still nice to come home and see the house still standing with no damage at all. We are so blessed that our house/neighborhood was NOT touched. Traffic was awful on Friday afternoon but we could see some of the damage from the interstate. This evening we went to drive around and scope it out. They pretty much had most roads blocked but we did manage to see some of the damage. It really puts everything into perspective when you see it yourself. It's just so amazing to see the damage on one house and then the one right next door is just fine, very weird. We are so blessed that we are all safe and sound. The Lord was definitely watching over us, I'm not sure how we would have handled the clean-up, etc with a wedding coming up in 2 weeks!



Here are a few pictures we managed to get this afternoon.
Several transfer trucks were turned completely over.

I definitely thought about you guys! I know you had to be very scared hearing about all of that going on in your town. I too feel so fortunate as those storms passed right over us as we huddled in the closet. I dont like the springs here in M TN...
