Big Storm!!

     So on a random morning I am preparing for work as usual and I can tell that it is raining pretty hard, but no big deal right? Boy was I wrong. This rain is unlike anything weather wise I have ever experienced, and I survived HUGO!! Water was coming down sideways and it hurt-literally as it hit me in the face, but you run to the car and it's over. 
     Next comes the lightening with booms so loud my SUV shook-not to mention the paths seemed so close and frequent that it was blinding-my eyes didn't have the chance to adjust-it was like the paparazzi!
As I try and make my way to work, the car in front of me is slowing for no apparent reason, then he stops and makes a U-turn. Then I see why-another car has attempted to drive through a significant amount of water on the street and is now flooded in water above the doors! It was hard to see. Perhaps if he wasn't there I might not have seen it either!?
     I only know one route to work so now I have to navigate the city to find my way to work. The weather report on the radio tells me not to go under the interstate as it is also flooded. Of course I call the hospital and make them aware of the situation but that I am making my way. I'm doing pretty good figuring it  all out. I have to make a couple of U-turns due to the water levels at various street. In the midst of it all I forget that I drive a SUV (Thank God!) so I was finally able to make it through some water that other cars had to turn around for. I made it safely!
By mid afternoon you could never tell anything at all had happened that morning...

'Tha Boys'

     An old friend that lives in Texas told me about a gospel concert going on in Alexandria-it was nice to just get away and hear some great music!
     A couple of weeks later I hit Dallas for the weekend of a lifetime - A DALLAS COWBOYS pre-season football game!!! 3 hour drive, but there was noooooooo way I was going to be that close and not at least try to get there! I decided to go for church and spend the night just in case I could swing a tour of the stadium the next day.
     So, if you are a Cowboys' fan and have yet to experience a game, let me share some info I wasn't privy to. You have to have a parking permit to park in addition to your ticket. Without the mercy of a parking attendant I would have NEVER gotten in. I had to walk around one half of the stadium before getting to my entrance, but it was all worth it when I sat in that seat without hassle or disruption from anyone around. The jumbo monitor-Heck, just being there was a dream come true!
     The next day I took a tour of the stadium@ half price too! Didn't get to go on the STAR but the end zone was a satisfactory substitute :)
     Another one of those things I WILL NEVER FORGET and despite having to go alone, it ranks high with one of the few coolest things I have done!!!
Part of my NO WOULDA, COULDA, SHOULDA TOUR!!!
