Date Night & KS Weather

As I am sure most of you know, there weather was a bit windy in good 'ol KS this weekend.  Saturday was Steve and I's first date night out on about 2 months.  We had tickets to see Miranda Lambert, Kate's new boyfriend surprised her with tickets also and Nana was keeping the boys.

We had planned for a nice funfilled evening complete with a restful night of sleep.  Yeah, right!  They shut the concert down after Miranda had performed 3 whole songs saying we were in the direct path of a tornado...stay calm and in your seats.  Yeah, right!  Lets just say as soon as we could leave we did  We couldn't get any cell phone reception and wanted to be able to leave for town if we needed to.  It seemed that we had dodged the tornado in downtown Wichita but predictions were for it to head right towards El Dorado.  We ended up at my sisters boyfriends house for the rest of the evening just hanging out and playing cards.

I am certain that my mother could give you a quite detailed description of their evening spent in our creepy basement playing flashlight tag.  I am just thankful that we were all safe and our property sustained little to no damage.  Prayers go out right now to those less fortunate than use who are scraping up what is left of their property after the tornados, hail and wind.

We did manage to catch a quick picture though, Kate and I.  And we did get some rest, about 5 hours to be exact...ALL IN A ROW...before heading back to El Dorado on Sunday a.m.  Maybe next time the weather can be a bit more cooperative.
