Washed Out

finally, the storms have stopped. now- rivers and lakes and ponds and cornfields are at an all time high with the amount of water we got in many parts of wisconsin. my littlest sister jorie managed to get her car stuck in a "puddle" in the road. she drove into the "puddle" as it was washing across from one side of the street to the other and over a foot deep. her car completely died on the spot.. silly girl. but here's what part of pardeeville looks like right now...

yep- they had to fill sandbags to re-route the water from park lake across main street. good job, dad =) he volunteered to help- i wish i woulda.. and i still dont know if the actual dam on park lake in pardeeville has blown yet. havent watched the news since yesterday noon time.. too depressing.. i watched a couple houses float away down the wisconsin river and watched as lake delton completely emptied and became a huge pit... i am sure you can find out all about it on jsonline.com if you haven't heard already.

in other news.. we met with our florist when we were back at my mom's this past couple of days. got the basics all set up for the wedding. my bouquet and birdesmaids bouquets are planned out.. the boutonniere's for dan and the groomsmen and the rest of the family... the arbor... centerpieces.. =) yay! and we'll be meeting with the photographer within a week.. and we have a dj keeping our date on hold for a bit.. we think we've decided on their company- but not all to sure yet... so yeah.. i guess we're rollin right along!
