Welcome MAY!!!

YAY! May is here! That means that April showers are over and the May flowers are here...not exactly. Today I went to a friends lingerie shower about an hour away from home...at the end of the party one of the girls gets a text saying that a tornado was on it's way to where we were and would get there in about 30 minutes...Hannah and I left(I road with her) hoping to beat the tornado, we did 80 pretty much the entire way home, that is except when the rain was so hard we couldn't see...on our way home, we found out that we were headed straight into another tornado, we had 15 minutes to seek shelter before it hit Conway...We decided that we could make it past Conway in 12 minutes, and went for it...we made it...only to hear on the radio that another tornado was going to hit Greenbrier in another 15-20 minutes(where I live)...we made it home 10 minutes before the tornado was to touch down in Greenbrier...thankfully!...I guess my career as a storm chaser isn't going so well, considering that it was the storm chasing us, but thankfully we weren't harmed and no one we know was harmed (or that I've heard of yet) and we made it to the house before the tornado was supposed to hit...it ended up not touching down in Greenbrier, it did touch down in Conway though...We would have stopped and sought shelter, but there was no where to stop besides the side of the road, and I'd rather be safe at home than lying in a ditch hoping the tornado doesn't touch me...we did stop at a grocery store in the town the lingerie shower was in, but they had their doors locked...so I doubt we would have had much luck anyway...
