The weather man was wrong again!

The weather man has predicted thunderstorms and rain for the last two weekends now and both Saturdays ended up being beautiful! I am very grateful for their false predictions. I'm sure it rained somewhere, but it didn't rain in Cypress.

Last weekend, my brother, his girlfriend, and my sister came to visit. They came in early on Friday and we had a great time laughing , hanging out and playing a very silly, but fun game called Ninja! Kody and I learned it from our youth kids, so we decided to introduce it to them! We laughed so hard and had a great time! Saturday, my brother took a test to get his air rescue license. He said it was one of the hardest test he has ever taken and he passed with like a 92 or something. I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished. We were suppose to have a dodgeball tournament for our youth group at a YMCA, but because of the predicted thunderstorms they has to postpone it. I had company, so I didn't mind.

This weekend my parents came to visit! I invited them to go garage selling with us in our neighborhood. It was the first time that our neighborhood has ever been allowed to have a community garage sell before, so I knew it was going to be huge! And it was! Over 400 homes participated! But again, the weather man was predicting rain Friday night and Saturday morning. But to our amazement, not a drop of rain was seen. Not even a cloud in the sky on Saturday! It was the perfect day to go garage selling! We had such a great time and were very successful! We found a chase lounge, a love seat and an end table for our game room. We also were so excited to have found a hammock! I have been looking for one and knew how much they cost to buy new. The people were moving to downtown Houston to a one bedroom apartment and were getting rid of almost all of their furniture. We got a great deal and it is perfect! I also got some children's books and Kody got an auxiliary cable. My parents and sister also racked up with some great deals! We had such a great time! I didn't know it could be so much fun!
