rainboots

It's a good thing I am a sucker for a fashion trend like rainboots.

Summers in Dallas rarely see too much rain. Usually, a bit here and there, but nothing major. Lets just say these past few days have been an exception. It has been drizzly and rainy the past few days, but last night it MONSOONED!

About midnight last night Vince, Jonas and I all woke up to our room literally shaking from the thunder. Storms are usually cool to me, but this one was downright scary. No exaggeration, the storm with 5-8 seconds of lightening and thunder happening every few minutes lasted for hours. Needless to say, Jonas was freaking out and running circles on our bed and shaking. I was really afraid he was going to pee everywhere. It was a restless night, but when we got up, we saw the crazy results. Vince's family has a small creek that runs through the backyard, and it was a river. It actually came up into the yard and we were walking around in a lake back there. ( You can see that "river" in the background is usually about 2 feed wide and 3 inches deep, and the to yard is a lake!) News crews were everywhere, and we actually saw our neighborhood on the NEWS! Crazy! It is still raining now!

I looked, and looked and looked for fun rainboots last fall. It rains in Nacogdoches more than a tropical rainforest, and when it rains, it floods, and let me tell you there is not much I hate more than wet jeans, socks, and shoes. Anyway, it has not rained here ALL summer it seems, but with our crazy weather...you know what that means!!!!! RAINBOOTS! They are even houndstooth. I have attached a picture for your reading pleasure! ( I'm actually standing on the drivwasy, and the water covers my feet!)
