Blizzard 2009

Well it snowed. Shocking. Robbie and I got snowed in at our apartment so we made the best of it. Here are some pictures. My bestfriend Amber decided however to have a baby in the middle of the snow storm yesterday. Luckly she did get to the hospital in plenty of time and have a great delievery. She had a beautiful baby girl named Caraline Faith born at 3:51pm weighing in at 8lbs 8ozs, 20 1/2inches long! They are both doing great! Between the snow and Amber giving birth you would think that would be enough excitment for me for the weekend. But nope...Not me! So walking around this morning I decided to take pictures to send to our German family and see how pretty it is. Robbie was at our building shoveling out cars. So I got aroud the block back near our apartment, and I see a backhoe trying to clear a section of the street. As I walk by I notice water bubbling up. Ok I think theres a creek or something like it in this area, so I didnt think that much about it....Well a few seconds later its now bubbling up higher and the guy is now on the phone with the back hoe turned off. So I walk a few more feet down and there hear a noise. I turn to see water now shootup 60+feet into the air and the guy in and the back hoe is now hauling butt out of the area! OH MY GOD! So I start runinng back towards Robbie yelling for him. I get to him and tell him what I just saw. Robbie works for the water company in our county. He goes running with my cell phone calling work to get it called in. We get back there and the fire department is pulling up. They walked over to me asking if I called it in and asked me where the car was. I was like it wasnt a car, it was a backhoe. So the cops arrive! The officer comes over to me, thanks to the fire department guy, and starts questioning me. I pointed to the area where I saw the guy drive off to and the cop goes to find him. Great! Well it turns off the guy was going to get his boss up the street...who kows if thats true. The water company got there and turned the water all the way off. The backhoe took out the whole fire hydren (yea thats what it was) and blew out all the dirt around it. Nice! So the boss guy ends up coming back to the secne and asks the water guy what kind of price...$5,000-8,000 and that doesnt include the labor! Yea good luck buddy!
