Weddings & Floods
If you haven't heard yet. There has been lots of flooding in the state of Iowa. My mom and I went up there this past week to spend time with my grandma. Its the baddest flood in 500 years!! Despite all the devastation that has occurred and all the water we still had a wedding at the end of the week. Surprisingly it didnt rain that day. Because it rained most of the week. Water water everywhere. Kayla and Cole's house basements got flooded in their new house that they bought. My cousins Brandons did the same thing. Aunts and Uncles basements also. The waters are so bad that they had on one of the streets a 100-mile detour..which kind of stinks when your wantign to be somewhere fast. I hear its kind of gotten worse but i havent heard the news or anything because to tell you the truth it kind of gotten boring watching the t.v. on about the floods of 2008 all week..when I got back to KS I havent watched or heard anything. My friend Misty just ent to a website or something because she asked me about them and i told her "why dont you look it up yourself" and she did and her answer was its worse in most places. When we were up there Cedar Rapids was evacuated...New Hartford was evacuated and some of Waterloo and some North of Cedar Falls..on the North end of the Cedar River..so yah..
But despite the waters..despite the crazyness we had a beautiful wedding. Kayla finally married her long term boyfriend Cole. They've been dating FOREVER i would say..all I know is at the reception they had a video of them that Kayla made and it had him and she at 6 proms!!! A record!! lol.. But it was a beautiful wedding. Her colors were of course..black and hot pink. . We were worried about the reception hall being flooded but it wasn't. Yes the water was still high but it wasn't as high as it was a couple of days before the wedding. The wedding day itself was a nice sunny day..beautiful with just one shower..it was beautiful..
