Reporting from the flood waters!

I know I am kind of late at posting and updating you all on the flood here in Iowa but give me a break we were in the middle of a flood!! It was crazy here for a week or so with all the predictions and preparations that were being made. Troy's work had to evacuate and close up shop for awhile. They are still in the process of cleaning up and assessing damage. I am blessed to report that our house is high and dry. However, so many people have lost their homes and businesses all over eastern Iowa. It is crazy to be so close to a natural disaster. You see things like this on the news but when it hits close to home, it is totally different. Here are some pictures from Iowa City/ Coralville that we have traveled and visited so many times. Thanks for all you thoughts and prayers and inquiries regarding our safety. The waters are receeding and clean up has begun.
