Watch out! Tornado!

Thursday are never boring!

Zenil and I had another dinner date tonight. We’ve been on this cultural theme and tonight was Italian night. You can never go wrong with Olive Garden! Since he always comes and picks me up, I went up north to pick him up. I always love talking with Z because we have real conversations. Tonight we talked about our lives and how we’re getting old, etc. I forgot to take a picture of his handsome face, but I loved dinner!

We were leaving OG and the sky was black minus the constant lightning flashes on our way home. It started raining pretty hard by the time we reached his house. I was on my way back to my apartment and it was POURING. The sky was pitch black, but the lightning flashes were almost blinding. I slowed down to 30 mph and I still couldn’t see five feet ahead of me. I was so scared that I pulled over in the Dave and Buster’s parking lot. Zenil called me and told me to get in the building to wait it out. After awhile, the rain died down and I decided to go up north to my parents’ house since the storm already passed North Austin.

Of course there are the obligatory puppy pictures…

Glad the storm is gone! No more tornados, please.

Don’t forget!

Sometimes we get so caught up in our little problems and conflicts that we forget to realize how much we are blessed to even be alive. Be grateful, folks! It can always be much, much worse. Just something that is sure to make you smile…

Today is a beautiful day to be alive. Don’t ever forget that.
