When it rains it pours! And pours, and pours, and pours!!!! Ames is flooded big time! There is no getting to Target, or Super Walmart. And it took us at least 40 minutes to pick up my car that was being serviced. we had to drive down the interstate to the next town to just to get on a northbound road that would take us to the dealership. Crazy!

The line of cars trying to figure out what to do b/c the onramp was closed

Here you can see the flooded ramp

Here you can see how close the water was to the road in some spots
The intramural volleyball courts
wish I could have gotten all of this sign
this is 6th street which would normally go to Brookside park

enough for now. more to come later.

Wow! has it really been a month since I last posted?! Well that gives you a little indication of how things are going here.......busy, busy, busy. Summers are like that aren't they? There are gardens to care for, softball games to go to, dogs to walk. You know the routine. It has also been a busy time for me on the design end. I am working on 2 sets of pocketfold wedding invitations, one for a west coast bride and one for an east coast bride! I am also finishing up thank yous and programs for a local bride who is getting married very soon.
Somebody also has recently taken a liking to keeping me company and I sure don't complain!


On the home front we recently had a concrete patio poured. I was a little skeptical at first but I love it! We got some used furniture from Mike's parents which is nice and I am super excited to be able to sit out there in the mornings and have my coffee or relax out there after work and read a book. This place feels like home more each day, I love it!
