As you may know, last Friday we took a trip to visit some family in Illinois. I was a bit worried about how Max would react to it after just being in Michigan for a few weeks but surprisingly he adapted well and had an awesome time!!
We visited my aunt and uncle who I haven't seen in 17 years (WOW) and got to meet my awesome 14 year old cousin and we all had a blast. We spent alot of time talking and getting to know eachother and reminiscing about our family that we have in common. It was really nice for me to be with family and talk to family who wasn't involved in all the " drama ".
We just got back today, actually. Our trip was
a smooth ride other than Max getting carsick and christening uncle
Aron's brand new 2 week old car (oops!!).
We spent a lot of time eating out, playing games and watching movies. We had a great time. Saturday we went to a cookout and Max had a huge yard to play in. He wore himself out but had a ball! I watched my boyfriend and cousin play random sports, did a photo shoot with my cousin in a field (lol) and other random fun things. It was really a nice time :)
OH! I forgot to tell you about my severe weather experience( lol).
So, here it is Sunday morning and Adam, my uncle and my cousin are getting ready to go see Star Trek. Theres weather saying we will have some nasty stuff and oh look, a tornado watch.
If you know me at all you'd know that I'm TERRIFIED of tornadoes. So, yeah everyone was scaring me lol. So, anyway, everyone finally says it will be ok blah blah but of course I'm still nervous. Okay so Max, my aunt and I head off to a close by restaurant not far from her house for a lunch together. I got an omelet that was absolutely yummy! (I looooove omelets. ) Ahem, anyways.. So everything was peachy till the sky started getting super dark. I'm getting nervous obviously and my belly kinda queasy (anxiety isn't fun) because I'm worried about the weather. So we finish and go up to pay and just as my aunt swipes the card the power goes out.
Awesome.
So, they talk about how to pay as other customers walk around and staff finds flashlights and says maybe it's not a great idea to go outside. Then, oh look, tornado sirens. I've NEVER heard a tornado siren before but I'm assured it was only a warning siren and that it doesn't mean a tornado is coming just to be on the watch and be cautious.
OKie dokie. So we get out to the van and get home JUST as the rain starts to pour down and we are safely inside. Thankfully, there was no tornado just a fun little storm (as my aunt was right in saying we would't get one :P ). Still though, that's the closest i've ever been to something like a tornado is hearing the siren lol.
In other news, my main reason for coming
home today is because Max had a doctors appointment and was FINALLY
going to get assessed for PT tomorrow. Well, I got a lovely call from
the outpatient center that our Insurance in MI isn't active yet and I
still have more stuff to take care of (oh, thanks SSA for telling me you
had it covered -_-) soooo tomorrow I'll hopefully be taking care of
that. We are lucky that we've had so many opportunities for Max to be
outside with other kids being both active and social or he'd be really
regressing here physically.
*** I want to take a moment to say God Bless everyone in OK who was effected by the horrible tornadoes. Especially the children who were lost in the school. I could rant about this but for now let's just pray for their devastated families. ***
