Holy Hail!

So, today as we were looking at the resort we are staying at, we realized that men cannot wear shorts or T-shirts to any of the restaurants... My husband responded with, "I guess I'll take my suit pants..." (typical man answer)... As if I would let him wear his expensive suit pants on the beach. That brought us to a trip to JC Penney's. I never shop there, but have always heard that you can get clothes at a good price, and that is so true!!! We got him 2 shirts, 3 white shirts, 1 pair of pants AND 2 new swim trunks for the price of one of his regular dress shirts! S-C-O-R-E!



Let me give you a little back story into what happened today... My husband always picks on his mother for "alerting" us anytime bad weather is approaching. She is like our own personal radar. I personally love it, because I know I can ignore the weather and if it is bad, she is there. OR, if I am on the road, and away from civilization, I know if bad weather is where I am, she will call. Well, this last tornado incident is God's way of shaking that attitude he had! After shopping, we went to a restaurant in the mall to grab lunch. Right as our food came, his mother called to tell us bad weather was approaching about 20 miles east of our house. My husband looked at the radar on his phone and was starting to get worried. I said, "We better eat fast and head home." Before I finished that sentence, I looked up to see his plate clean!! I then said (jokingly) "Why don't you just leave me here and go get the car." Within seconds, he was gone! I shoveled my food down, paid the bill, and went out the door by the restaurant to see him in my car waiting. I got in and headed home. None too soon, I might add, because the Heaven's opened and hail came down. We were super lucky that quarter size hail is the largest we got.


After the storm moved south, we decided to finish our shopping and pick up dinner. In the parking lot, this is what we saw:

Yeah, that's hail.... Can you believe it? Some of our friends got the baseball size hail and it knocked out their windows, and possibly totaled their cars. What is with this weather??? We are just excited that in 4 days, we will be in paradise! Woo-hoo! ~Amy
