My part of the story includes US having to find an alternate home from Costco when the main highway was closed due to flooding.

Then,we had to find an alternate alternate due to two over-turned semis!

It took us 2 hours to make the 40 minute drive home!

I am so thankful to be home safe and warm, but Ian is heartbroken b/c he had won tickets to a Switchfoot concert tonight and there is NO way to get there in this weather.

You can read what Kaitlyn had to say about it HERE.

I have lots of other things to post about, but I am cold and want to make some tea! :)

If you have a chance though... go check out my CONTEST on my afghan blog!

Oh my goodness! That is quite the photo. I was watching the news tonight and they were showing all of the flooding that was happening in the the states. Is it the same Pineapple Express weather system that is hitting us right now that is going through your area? There is so much flooding on the island here in areas and then you turn a corner and they are slipping and sliding in slush and ice. Just crazy weather! Thank goodness you made it home safely.
Blessings to you and your family,

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
