storm's a comin'

My dad grew up in Oklahoma.  As I grew up he joked that if one doesn't like the weather in the Midwest then just wait a few moments and it will change.  While my greek god and I lived in Chicago we found that to be true at times.  Here, in the San Antonio area, it doesn't seem as dramatic as that but compared to home it comes mighty close.

With how today worked out the kids didn't get outside at all until after dinner (with the heat and humidity I'm not sure they would have anyway).  Pretty much unheard of by what we're used to.  As one can imagine they were pretty much bouncing off the walls by the time my greek god got home from pounding the pavement.

Errands needed to be run and milkshakes were a must-have this evening so kids getting their energy out still didn't happen.  A late night/after bedtime swim was in order for some.

(Hint:  This is where the title of this post comes in . . . are you ready?  It's really exciting . . . if your life is boring.)

We had noticed the partially cloudy sky (with the amazingly beautiful big ol' honkin' pink and white puffy clouds pasted gingerly against the baby blue sky and a sliver of the moon taunting just above the scene) as we began our errands.  Driving back to the condo my greek god thought he saw flashes in the sky and later we heard, what sounded like, thunder. Hmmmm.  Could we get in a quick swim before the storm comes?

We did.  It isn't here yet but with the wind blowing like it was as we hightailed it to the pool it seems like the storm is a comin'.

I love the storms.  Overall they rock.

- it's blahg! mb

Seriously.....if you like storms...you NEED to get to CO. In the winter we have snowstorms (and even some blizzards sometimes!) and in the summer we get thunderstorms and lightning shows just about every night....and they only last about 1/2 an hour...just long enough to cool things down! And we have a BIG basement that would fit you all!!! Missed you at church this week. :( Sure was good to hear Mike again, though.

Someday, Jill. Someday! I hope we can, indeed, come. Irish Boy needs to be able to handle the elevation. If he continues to grow strong then I hope we can make it someday. That'd be awesome to visit with you guys.
I'm so bummed to miss out on seeing you on your trip to CA. A couple of years ago we managed to coordinate (unbebeknownst to each other) our trips to TX and CA to where we actually got to see each other. What happened this time?
