Flooding
We are OK from the flooding in the Cedar Rapids area. My office in Vinton does not have power and is flooded. Warren's workplace in Cedar Rapids is OK, but he has to go out of his way to get to work.
It is quite a mess and will have thunderstorms again tonight. We have water in our basement due to all the rain and the ground is unable to soak up anymore water. Our small garden is gone. Our older grapevines are doing well and our fruit trees are OK. The new grape vines are struggling though.
You can go to www.kwwl.com to see pictures of Cedar Rapids and Vinton flooding. We live closer to Vinton, so that impacts us more than Cedar Rapids.

How things are going
It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought an update would be good. I will hopefully get the graduation pictures up soon, I need Warren's help for that.
Svenja flies out on June 12 and we will be "empty nesters" It will be so strange to have the house to ourselves. I miss her already. She is working on getting herself packed and deciding what she needs to leave behind. I will be training the whole week in Des Moines, so I will try to get back the night before she leaves to help her get ready.
The new job is going well. Things are getting pretty busy. I have a few termination hearings connected with my old job, so I'll be doing that also. It will be a better set up for me, occupation wise.
That's all for now.

I am still around
Hey all,
It has been a while since I last wrote. I am still waiting for Warren to download our pictures from Austin. Warren got a little sick during our trip, but otherwise it was fun.
We both were sick recently and we are both better. Svenja did not get sick.
Svenja is doing well, she started track this spring and LOVES it. She got first place at her first track meet in one of her events (not sure what event it was). She is a sprinter. I am the only non-runner in the family.
Well, that's all for now. Spring is here, yeah
