the rains came down, and the floods came up...

Just in case you're wondering or are worried, we're okay. Today is the first day in a week we have had a break from the rainy weather, so far. Thank goodness! I have missed the sunshine oh so much.
Different parts of town have been drastically affected by flooding and where we live luckily has not. I have 2 coworkers that live in some of the counties that are the worst, but luckily are both okay and their homes are fine. Some flooding but they're okay. If you have NO idea what I'm talking about and haven't seen Atlanta and flooding all over the news- go here. We live close to the Chattahoochee River and have to drive over it and yesterday on the way home noticed it was WAY full. There is a road that we often take to go to the Terry's house that goes under that same bridge, so Ben and I went to scope it out. The park there is under water, I took some pictures and it's crazy! Here it is as of Saturday:

And what it was like yesterday:

And here it is today (thankfully it went down a bit, but still covering the dock):

It's crazy! Ryan said he's NEVER seen it that full in his entire life of living here in this area. We're expected to see more rain in the next couple of days, but they said the worst of it is over. However, that doesn't mean the flooding and damage wont stop. It's crazy how just about 20 mins away from where we live they are seeing such horrible conditions and we are perfectly fine... and obviously blessed. Ryan took this picture today while scoping things out around his work.

Looks like it's possible our camping trip this weekend is going to be postponed... BOO! Seriously it seems like EVERY time we try to go camping it rains. Maybe next weekend....
Happy (official) First Day of FALL! I was inspired to put up my Fall decorations already this past weekend- check, the leaves are starting to change-check, the acorns are falling on our roof and startling us a little-check, cooler weather on the way? Not sure... but in a couple weeks it'll be time for pumpkin patches, apple festivals and corn mazes and lots of other fun activities! YAY!
