I wanted to take a few minutes to update u guys. Thanks so much for the concern and emails. They mean a ton.
My family and most of my friends are safe. There are a few people who have lost everything. And I do mean everything.
What you see on TV is NOT how it is here. Its total devastation.
My family and I are SO blessed. We do not take it lightly that it could've been us.
When people talk about a tornado skipping one house and landing on the next?????
Yes we are indeed blessed.
Please keep the state of Alabama in your prayers. Those families that are still looking for loved ones, the families who lost family members.
Just pray for everyone. Ill update again as soon as I can.
Thank you so much for posting. I am joyous that you all are ok, but heartbroken to hear that AL is even worse than they are showing in the news.
Please keep us posted when you can. Continued prayers.

Glad you and family are okay. My best friends daughter goes to school there and her fiend was killed. She said the devestation is unbelivable and will change her forever. She doesn't even know if she still has a job because the Target she works at isn't answering the phone. She can't get there because they won't let you drive where it's located. It's so scary what mother nature can do. You are in my prayers.

If could, I don't know if you know of some families that personally need some things. Email me a list of the items and I'm going to send a few things. I can't do much but I would love to do something for them.
