whoah... last night was pretty fun. we got stuck in des moines during some cool tornado weather. my father-in-law's house (where we camped out) was *right* next to the tornado siren so sleeping was interesting though. our 5yo daughter, corri, was pretty spooked. but it was beautiful outside. the lightening was amazing.

lots of stuff to finish up today. should be an excellent day. :)

more to come later...
