Let it Rain or Flood?......October 1, 2011

How does the saying go? When it rains, it pours?
Well in this situation it did in more way than one....

After the funeral, Bobbi wanted to go out to eat. Today, was her and Jerry's 40th Wedding Anniversary and she wanted to celebrate it with all of us kids. She treated us to the Outback. We had an enjoyable dinner.

Afterwards, Bobbi needed to get a few things at Home Depot so Eli and Andrea took her there. Ryan, Stacey, Sam, and I all ran to Walmart to get a few things. Tim and Kayla headed to their home. Dan and Alisha, thank goodness, went back to Bobbi's house. When Dan and Alisha got back to Bobbi's, to their surprise, they opened the door to the kitchen and water was EVERYWHERE. They immediately ran down the stairs to see the damage and the ceiling started falling out in the basement due to the flooding from upstairs.....

Long story short, lots of people ran over and we all begun to clean up a flood of a mess at 11:00 pm. Aunt Colleens girls and Stacey got most of the water vacuumed up. Sam, Ryan, Dan, and Eli along with some other men got all the carpets pulled out the basement. Casie, Alisha, and I got lots of things transferred from downstairs to upstairs. Then, Sam, Ryan, Dan, and Eli tore down all the wet sheet rock.

It was a huge mess. Bobbi has a great ward who came to her rescue along with lots of family and friends. Thank goodness not too many things got ruined. What a day, what a night! "No more rain please Heavenly Father, no more rain....."
