Friday!
You guys, I don't know what the news is showing where you live but Iowa is just absolutely destroyed. We are so very lucky because there are still so many people in the state without power. There are linemen working around the clock but Iowa isn't built for hurricanes. Our houses aren't built for them and our trees don't bend, they break. (Or just completely uproot.)
The huge trees are just on the ground. Businesses are closed. Without power, no one can get gas. (To drive further to get supplies or run the generators if you're lucky enough to have one.) And this is during a stupid pandemic so some supplies are scarce anyway. And this storm also happened without any warning or time to prepare.
Our governor declared a huge chunk of the state a disaster area, including our county. We have close friends without electricity and no repair date in sight. Pray for Iowa, please.
If that all wasn't enough, they decided to push the school start date back two full weeks. Which on some level is good. But it's super frustrating because just when we thought there was a plan... there suddenly isn't.
The good news is they hired a new kindergarten teacher. And while this extra two weeks has nothing to do with our school (it was actually the public school who changed their mind and since we share busing we have to follow along) it is nice that she'll have some extra time to prepare.
I just hope that we can still go to school. That's all I want from life right now. For them to go. Lord, Jesus can we find a way to deal with this virus?
Here's a little Friday funny.
Today is also a great day because it is our tenth wedding anniversary.
