Kyle and Christy's Place: Flood

Flood

One of the most adventurous and exciting (and I think Christy would add scary) parts of our trip was on Saturday when we decided to go out and ignore a "severe weather warning"

We learned from this experience that severe weather warnings in Texas are very different from Severe weather warnings in Utah. You really can't ignore them.

I would write more, but I think the following videos say more than I ever could.
(Oh, and yes, that is water coming up over the hood of our car and that is a car stuck in the water ahead of us in the 2nd one.)

This video is while we were on the main highway road.

This video is of the neighborhood road that is by our church.

Once we got through that really deep water, we found a place of high ground and parked our car. Luckily we were only about a block from our church (the purpose of our little excursion was to find the church so that we wouldn't get lost the next day at 8 in the morning). While walking, we got completely drenched. Here are some mug shots of the guilty severe weather warning non-heeders.

King J, Queen M, Princess E and Princess M said...: Holy Smokes! Yeah, we have also learned about the Severe Weather warnings. Except ours are usually followed with time spent in the basement due to the Tornado warnings that always follow. Fun times. I am glad you guys are safe.; April 22, 2009 at 3:38:00 PM CDT

Anna....of Anna's Quilting Designs said...: I think that black appliances would make the room feel smaller. I agree with the person above who said that the white would match the room better.; April 25, 2009 at 12:22:00 AM CDT

Meet the Christensen Family!

Kyle and Christy met in August of 2005, officially started dating on the 5th of July 2006, and got engaged to be married on November 16, 2006.

They were married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in American Fork, Utah on the 17th of February, 2007. In June of 2009 we moved to Houston, Texas.

Gabriella was born on December 4. She weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce when she was born and was 20.5 inches long at that time. Since then, she has grown a whole lot and consistently measures in the 100th percentile among children of her age in categories of both weight and height. She loves anything to do with Mickey Mouse. She also loves reading anything she can get her hands on and pretending to be a princess.

Noah was born on July 10. He weighed 8 pounds .08 ounces when he was born and was also 20.5 inches tall. He has a very patient personality and really loves his big sister despite her struggles with no longer being the only child. He also is the teaser of the family.

Lizzie was born on December 17. She weighed in at 5 pounds 12 ounces and was 18 inches long. When she was first born we thought she was going to be our quiet child. Boy were we wrong. She is demanding and will scream at you to let you know she needs some attention. At this point, she is a complete Momma's girl.

In August 2007, Christy started her 2nd year as a 2nd Grade Teacher. She Graduated on April 27, 2007 from BYU with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education. At the end of the 2007-2008 school year Christy retired from teaching and became a stay at home mom.

In April of 2009 Kyle graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in English Education with a Psychology minor. While in his studies at BYU he has had an emphasis in Critical Rhetorical Theory specifically dealing with issues of Class, Gender, and Race in the Literary, Political and Pedagogical realms. Kyle no longer teaches. He has moved on to the Human Resources field. The company he works for now has great benefits and advancement opportunities. We can't wait to see what the future will bring with this new position.

Taylor has graduated high school and no longer lives with us. She will forever have a place in our home though and will always be a part of our family. Good luck to her as she heads off to BYU-I to study Recreational Therapy.
