Well, we finally made it through the year, and only slightly worse for wear! Mason and I started this final day of school down in our cellar. At about a quarter to five a random truck was driving up and down the road with their sirens on. Given all the storms going on we figured that was our warning that there could potentially be a tornado in the area. After about twenty minutes we ventured back inside and I finished getting ready for school. Aside from the fact that the kids were crazy, it was a great day! I really enjoyed the group of kids I had this year, and they will be missed. But, for now, I will enjoy my lazy days!
I was very excited to get out of school early since today was only a half-day, but mother nature again had other ideas. Missouri, as well as many surrounding states, has had a ridiculous number of tornadoes this year. Just as our entire faculty was getting ready to have our last meal together for the year, the sirens in Waynesville started going off, so we all had to take cover in the classrooms in the basement. Luckily that didn't last very long, but shortly before I got ready to go, they went off again. So needless to say, I didn't even leave school until well after when I would leave on a regular day. Then I was chosen for the random car inspection as I entered post. Awesome. It's not a big deal and I did finally make it home! Mason, on the other hand, was not so lucky. He is still stuck at a friend's house as I type this. He was driving home from work in the midst of these storms, and ended up stopping at his friend's house because it was hailing and getting pretty bad out. And now, he's stuck there because of flooding. Oh well! He's safe so that's the important thing!
On a better note, I plan on spending the next couple of days laying around and doing a lot of nothing. Mason and I are going down to Branson for the weekend, and then I start summer school on Tuesday. Luckily, they are only half-days and will go until June 17th, so it will go very fast! Eight days after that and I will become 'Kayla Heavin.' Weird! Here's hoping the next month goes smoothly! Congrats to all the students and teachers who are finished or will be finishing school soon!! We did it! And lets be sure to keep all those affected by all these storms in our thoughts and prayers, especially all the residents of Joplin, Missouri! Happy Summer!! : )
