Rainy Night in Georgia...

This is for all of you NC folk out there...enjoy...

Bells Ferry


Right before you get on 575


This is the road behind KSU that I take to get the the parking deck...


Saying it's been raining is a gross understatement! It has been POURING!!! All schools are closed (most closed today and almost everything is closed tomorrow as well), roads are blocked, commute times that normally take 15-20 min are taking around 5hrs....it's crazy. This morning I was home and heard lightening stike something and then a very loud clap of thunder, I checked around our house to make sure it wasn't us that was hit. I didn't see anything and the rain was starting to slack up, so I decided I would make an attempt to go get our dogs from cartersville. On the way out of the neighborhood I noticed several fire trucks and realized that a house down the street from us had been hit by lightening and had caught on fire! Only about a fourth of their house wasn't charred or completely gone. A little less than half way to Cville the bottom let out and I was caught in a monsoon! Luckily I was very close to Walmart so I waited there...for about an hour and a half...all the while having multiple panic attacks of course lol! I did not continue on to Cville, I headed straight back home and saw that the roads were starting to flood...yikes! It was very scary and I was terrified about Greg driving back home from work and my MIL being out in it all day!! Watching everything on the news is like some kind of crazy movie! My heart breaks for all the families whose houses are flooded and damaged...because there are a TON! I am SO thankful we are both home safe and sound!! I pray tomorrow is better!!

holy cow, that's insane! hey, i see pat's comment, hehe fun! she's very sweet too, i think she told me every single day that i was such a cute pregnant lady. definitely needed that boost of confidence when i was feeling fat. :)

so to answer your question, yes! i have just started doing photo sessions... the session fee is $75 (for however long it takes to get good ones, no time limit), but the great part is that i just give them all the images i've edited. so they can print nice copies at wolf camera or whatever for super cheap instead of paying a professional $6 for a tiny little 4x6. that saves hundreds of dollars!

so send them to my photo blog to check it out and then they can contact me if they're interested. (contact info is on the photo blog)

thanks! and stay dry! :)

goodness I just couldn't believe all the stuff on the news! I take all highways (285 and 75) so I was fine but I did go home early yesterday b/c the weather was so bad. It was hard to drive in but I'm so thankful I didn't come across any rivers!!! Glad you guys are safe!
