Remember my post from yesterday that said we were busy with lots of things going on and lots of things to get ready for??? Last night our whole basement flooded! Thanks to a wonderful landlord, his son and grandson and incredible neighbors who were helping us until the wee hours of the morning things are under control. Have I mentioned how lucky we are to have such great neighbors? I feel so blessed to have friends who would put their own needs aside to help us last night. The Seedall's (who we share our duplex with) had 2 inches of water in their own basement and still spent most of their time in ours (once their stuff was off the ground theirs was beyond help until the water went down and their pump was working.) And my neighbor Angela (who is 8 months pregnant and has a baby shower today!!) stayed up way too late moving stuff and bringing towels over, and her husband Tim was up later than me helping out. THANKS EVERYONE!! We got so much rain it was crazy. I got home from the store at 9 and it started raining about 915.... Just before I was going to bed at 11:00 I thought I'd check the office - where Miles sleeps - to see if there was any water. There was a tiny bit in one corner and by the time I had Miles moved upstairs water was pouring into our laundry room! It was a long night - and bound to be a long day as well - but I can't feel bad because it could've been worse, we had so much help and what matters most (our family) are all safe and sound!

Oh my gosh!!! That's crazy!! You are SO lucky to have such great neighbors! I'm glad you got everything taken care of. Hopefully this stupid rain will go away!
Wish we were closer to come help! I hope nothing got wet that was irreplaceable....floods are the worst.
Oh no!! What a nightmare! I'm so glad you had so many people to help you though, that would've been awful to have to clean that up all by yourself!
Oh man, that's awful! I wish we were there to help. It's sure fun to know all these people that you are talking about. Good luck!
ugh- how awful! i feel bad i only found out about you & the seedalls tonight or we would've been there to help! let us know if you need anything!!
