Tornado Season, back already? UGH.

Well the title says it all, today we had our first tornado in Douglas County... Pretty much with very little warning, okay, well maybe there was some but I was in class for 9 hours so I had no clue! When we walked outside after class, it was a little windy but sunny and blue skies. Within about 2 minutes a friend called me to say the radio said there was a tornado Watch in effect... and then literally about 5 minutes later, I was getting closer to my apartment and the sky was getting darker and it was getting windier (never good) and then the horrible noise came on the radio... you know that one that they practice on TV, the test for emergency notification system - yeah, it actually gets used here - so the radio announced it was now a Warning and that it was time for everyone to get to shelter. Of course I was driving, and still about 15 minutes from home! And of course I overreact and freak out - but I kept calm and made it to Vatterrott College which was where Jeremy was. I stayed there for an hour or so and watched the storm pass right around us.. we saw some funnel clounds about 10 blocks away, but I don't think any actually touched down. Fhew. Storm #1, done.... lets just hope there's not another one tonight!

Anyways, I got a couple cell phone pics below.

*Jeremy checking out the weather... mini funnel cloud forming, not so good...

*Hello dark clouds.....

*Ah, finally the sun is coming back out.... check out how shiny the roads are from all the rain and hail!

*One of My Most Favorite Holidays*

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Sun is Shining!

Well not anymore since its 8pm, but today was amazing - 70+ degrees and sunny all day! I loved not wearing a jacket to class, and then running around the lake in the sun afterwards. Puts me in such a good mood... which was nice since I went back to class today after a week off.

The week went SO fast, we spent the first weekend in Kansas City - it was awesome! Only a few hours away, but a lot different then Omaha. I don't know if its because we don't live there, but both Jeremy and I really really liked it! We had been down there once before last summer but this time we went downtown, which was great. First of all it was warmer, and second of all they have way better shopping and third they have this very cool area called the Power and Light District. Its like a mini vegas :) We happened to be there the weekend the PBR was in town, so there were a ton of cowboys and cowgirls running around.... well actually there was just a ton of people in general! There was also a college basketball tourney going on so that made it busy too. Check out pictures on my shutterfly site - Jeremy and I both rode the mechanical bull at a bar - neither of us did so well compared to all the professionals there, but it was fun anyways, haha!

On a school related note... I have to make a decision about where my preceptorship will be soon, so I'll keep you posted as to if we will be staying in Omaha until at least August or moving back to the West Coast... no clue yet!

TGIF!

Officially on SPRING BREAK... and its sunny and warm, yay! . Off to Kansas City tomorrow morning for some crazy spring break fun (okay, not really, but it will be nice to 'get away' for a couple of nights).


For now, 3 mobile uploads from today:

see the little dot above the restuarant? someone is in a powered hang-gliding thing... i was just hoping they didn't accidentally land in the busy road... seemed a strange place to be flying around? maybe not?

A on test+ no class for a week + sunshine = sunroof open, loud music, cheesy smile!

Just another pic of the crazy Nebraska sky.. always looks different!

randomness in a slideshow

Been making this little slideshow for a while, figured I'd post it for ya'll. Just Jeremy and I being silly on a bunch of random days! :)
