Oh let's see...what's new. I went to see Dan, Donna, and Tyler last weekend. Cedar Rapids had some really bad flooding. I pulled into town around 10pm and my exit off of I-380 was right into downtown Cedar Rapids, where teh flooding had hit the worst. The residential area around that was like a war zone or something. Just the smell and how it looked was mind boggling. Pictures can't really do it justice. I have a few that I'll include at the bottom of this post. Hennyway, it was fun seeing Dan and Donna again and watching them with Tyler. That kid is super awesome. 3 years old and I guess a week ago from Sunday, he decided he didn't want his training wheels on his bike, so Dan took em off and Tyler took off! lol! So I had fun riding Dan's bike around w/ my nephew.
Sunday morning meeting was awesome. Everybody's thoughts seemed to be along the same lines. Faith, Love, and Jesus. The last hymn we sang was 400, When Jesus Comes....."Oh, can we say we are truly ready"....I've been thinking that quite, especially last night after meeting when Ryan Barry mentioned one of his close friends was killed in a car accident. Sigh. Life is so fragile, yet it's so easy to think we're indestructible. Sneefle Tear.
On a better note....I'm getting Lasik Surgery done on July 18th! I'm sooo excited. I've always enjoyed physical activities such as basketball, racquetball, wrestling w/ my bros, and the like...but I always feel like I have to hold back because I have to play w/ my glasses and I'm paranoid they're going to get knocked off and busted, then I can't see. X_x The surgery is coming at the right time too. Just before my Canada trip! :-D WHEEE!! In fact I just counted out $1,000 cash that I will have to take to the bank and get it converted into Canadian $'s. Sad thing is...now that the $1 has lost so much value, Canadian exchange is pretty much 1:1 and gas is even more up there in Canada. Siiiiigh. All worth it though, I need a vacation.
Ok, well....here's a few pics. I was bored so I lined out my $20 so I could see what $1,000 looked like. LOL. Yaaa...vain, I know....but funnay.
Hokay....here's pics of Cedar Rapids.

Oh wow. Those pictures...crazy stuff.
Actually, that's $1,110 in that picture, not $1,000. You're so vain.
Sigh.
Those pictures are wild! Looks as bad as tornado pictures.
WOW I'm glad its them and not me, but I also realize that it could happen at anytime. Just a reminder not to get caught up in material things!
Wow all I can say is wow. Well I could probably say more than that but I'm tired and now going home to go to bed and I've already said a lot more than wow now, so I'll say more. Glad that wasn't our town this time, I would like to have that much in cash to take pictures of. Maybe I should lay all my coins out from my coin jar I bet I have at least 1,o0o of them, have fun in Canada and I wish I could go get lasik surgery done but should probably wait a while on that one.
