my crazy life!

Sorry its been such a long time since i last blogged! ITs a crazy life.. Wow where should i start.. Well since my last blog lot has happened.. We were staying in the Atanta,Ga area for about5 months Then moved to another location which i absolutly loved! It was a huge ranch with an rv park within it. Wasn't a sole around.. A little lonely for Sydnie.. THe first week there was great until the owner flipped her lid over us feeding and touching the horses.. That really made the stay hard cause her hubby would let us go to the horses and do as we pleased.
While in Georgia we got to meet some very differnet ppl.. I guess i say that cuase i look at the way i raise my child and she comes first.. Not beer or other stupid things.. IF we can't do it as a family we won't do it at all.. We got to experiance our first wonderful Tornado.. And let me tell ya it wasn't something i'd do again.. it was the scariest thing ever!!!

I remember that day like it was yesterday! We went out to grab a bite to eat since he worked late and we knew they were calling for servere thunderstorms i thought why not go up the road and try this one resturant.. Well going in to eat it was beautiful outside. white fluffy clouds nothing out of the ordinary!

Well coming out the sky looked so ugly! So we just got in the truck. Not even 2 minutes of backing up it hit! It was hail the size of golf balls.. so we started dow nthe road to the rv park when it got heavier with huge size hail.. so randy said heck with this we're off to my job site where its safe! within minutes it was softball size beatting the crap outta the truck.. we got maybe 1/2mile from the rv park on the interstate.. I was panicing yelling for sydnie to jump outta her carseat and to curl up on the truck floor with a heavy blanket covering her.. i thought for sure it was going to shatter my window... Randy was calm the whole time holding my hand and reasuring me it was going to be ok.. the winds picked up more.. the truck began to rock! I began to cry outta fear not knowing what would come next..

Within half an hr we were moving down the highway with the hail slamming into the truck and wind blowing hard! We finally got to his job site and it was all done with..SO we decided to head back to see what damage had happened..

Pulling into the rvpark was like pulling into alaska! it was covered in hail.. so much hail it looked like 4 inches of snow! As we're driving in we seen broken windows, awnings flipped over the rvs.. People outside helping other ppl cover things up! it was such a mess! Then we come to our rv. which was out in the open.. THoughts were running through my mind wondering how bad it was i seen pieces laying all over! Tears rolled odwn my face wondering is it liveable??

we get out walking around our rv checking it out as i'm walking around i'm taking pics of all the huge pieces of hail and other ppls rvs.. I"m in shock our rv wasnt as bad! OUR rv is a 1993 Travel Supreme 40 ft fiver.. And wow let me tell ya its build like a tank.. We had missing lights, smashed ac cover,roof vents smashed, dryer vent ripped out molding ripped out, and the usual hail damage!
the pin stripping on the rv took a beating from the hail. But other then that it was all fixable within the month!

i'll be posting pix of the damage of our rv and of the other rvs! its so amazing..

Tornado in Atlanta,GA

Well yesterday turned out to be quite a day... Started out good we got together with friends to take the kids roller skating then ended up in the emergency room one of the little girls woke up with a sore neck and i think from roller skating it made it worse.. She is now fine... After sitting in the er for a few hrs we all got home and was getting ready to make dinner or maybe just eat! well as for us we just got done eatting and were getting into the truck when on the way down the road to the rv park we got hit with hail! So we turned around in a hurry to find a safer place then the rv, i felt so bad all my little pets were still in the rv.... After waiting it out on the side of the interstate cuase thats as far as we made it we headed back to the rv park to see the after math while on the way i started taking pix with my phone.. I've never seen such a sight.. It started out windy around 5pm jokingly i said " gee its gonna blow in a bad storm" Well we went into the resturant to eat came out and it looked bad. just thinking it was a thunderstorm we heading back to the rv park! Thats whne it all came about we got about 50 feet into the park when the hail came.. My husband turned our truck around and tried to get us to the job site where he works..

Well the storm came alot faster then the weather station had said there we were stuck on the ramp of the interstate being hit by hail.. Came down as golf ball size hail then got up to the size of soft balls we made Sydnie get out of her seat and lay on the floor of the truck covered in a blanket... It sounded like someone was hitting our truck with a baseball bat! i was so scared.. Never seen anything like it... After about an hr of this we got on the interstate and headed back to the rv park to see that damage.. Once there it looked like it snowed 3 inches.. Everyone was outside helping eachother patch up windows and holes in the roof.. Sadly not everyone made it without damage.. Other ppl in the park had broken skylights, broken windows and more.. i grabbed my camera hoping with little daylight left i could take pix which i did and today i'm planning to get more.. Here i am 7am the next morning going on no sleep cuase i was still worked up and worried.. i watched the news until 2am i think i dose off for an hr then my dog woke me having to go out.. i'll be taking more pics today since its light out and seeing what more damage was done.. Thing that blows me away is we have our satelite out in the open on a tripod and it made it! but my ac unit didnt, my dryer vents didnt, our skylights, and all the marker lights on the rv and even where i connect the satelite and phone didnt make it! its really unbelieveable... I'll keep everyone updated on the damages!

The best thing is everyone was safe and no one was hurt! Just our homes!
