what the hail....

yesterday, while jake was at the church for meetings, Piper and I were woken up from our nap right at 4pm with the sound of what i thought was someone braking into our house! with my heart racing I grab Piper and run into the living room and see glass and hail flying all over our little house. Then I look to the left out our big front window and could not see anything it was so dark and loud! Since I had not been awake or watching tv I just KNEW there was a tornado right on top of us...with piper in my arms and my stomach in my throat, I start pulling things out of our coat closet and Piper, I and Annabelle squeeze into the dark closet. About 5 minutes later it was quite so i thought it would be ok to come out...there was no tornado but we at least protected ourselves from all the glass...it could have been much worse...and I feel so gratefull that we are all safe...but our little house has 3 windows broken...our garage door is torn up as well as the siding on the north side of our house and of course both our cars have damage, but no glass out and we will be needing a new roof. I have honestly never seen anything like this or been so scared...but thank God that it was not a tornado and that we are all safe :)
