Quick Post

I just wanted to let you all know that we are FINE! The flood was crazy - - but we are blessed! We are the ONLY house in about a one mile radius that did not get water in it. It had been touch and go for most of the day as the water table rising got all the houses around us through their basement floors. The sump pump has not stopped in - I was going to say how many hours then realized that I have absolutely no idea what time it even is....we were less than an inch from it over-flowing the sump pit for many, many hours but it has gone down. We spent the morning moving furniture upstairs and trying to put anything we could up on top of plastic tubs, etc. in the basement. Our biggest concern last night was the Katie and Emily weren't home with us. But we are all fine. We have spent most of the day helping friends and neighbors rescue or recover whatever we could. Thank you for all of your prayers! Probably won't be able to post again for awhile as we are without internet or cable - I happen to get a connection on David's laptop and decided to post while I could. For any of you that have been damaged - our prayers go out to you and please let us know if we can help you in any way!

Glad to hear you are FINE. Arrowood is heartbreaking. We were back there this week as we have some friends back there. It looked like the one end of your subdivision had damage but your end looked pretty good..which is like our street. we were SO LUCKY as the end by Rocky Ford had FEET of water so I can not complain at ALL!!
