ENP Class Of 2000

Most of us have know each other since Kindergarten, some of us stated later at ENP, none the less 10 years ago we parted our separate ways. Most of us were ready to move on, leave home, and start a new life outside the small town of Eldora, but there are days I would love to go back and do it all over again. No responsibilities, no cares, no worries. I wonder how many of us thought our lives would end up they way they have?
Some of us only had to drive across town and some of us had to drive across country. Some of us didn't come because they have no desire to ever attend a reunion and some of us the weekend didn't work. This is certain, I had fun talking with each and everyone of you, thank you for make the short or long journey. I look forward to seeing you all in 5 years.

Two of the greatest friends anyone could ask for

THE CLASS OF 2000

Our Flood

This morning I woke up at 5:30 to go for my walk and looked down the road to the South and could tell it was flooded, by 7:00 it was almost to our house, and by 9:30 it was a close to 3 feet from our house. Our garage was under water, most of the yard was under water, thankfully we are on a bit of a hill otherwise it would have been a lot worse for us.
Jeremy ended up walking to work ,at 11:30, and shortly after he left we go about 2 1/2 feet of water in the basement. Thankfully I had so great neighbors whose house was dry that came to help.
The water outside has gone down for the most part, our yard and garage are no longer under water. We currently have two pumps going in the basement and the water is still just above our ankles.
As I'm downloading pictures Jeremy says the water is out of the basement. I hope the weathermen our wrong and the rain they are calling for tonight misses us so we don't have more of a mess in the morning. Keep you fingers crossed.

The rest of these are from 9:30, it did get much closer to the one side of the house, I just don't have any pictures. The water started going down sometime after 12:30.

I Must Say...

I love getting a slobber bath while playing "good guy" "bad guy" with my two babies!

Is Finally...

going to cut off these beautiful curls :(



I love them, but it's time for my baby to become a little man.

Wow

Has it really been over a month since I last posted?

I can say that all is well in the Pingel home. The boys and I made it back to Eldora Mothers Day weekend, we went to Izzy and Ally's soccer games, their recital, and I made it up to bar to see some great friends! Drew had is last day of preschool on the 26th and that evening he had a concert, he did a great job!

At the end of the month Mom, the boys, and I are headed to Tekamah for a family reunion. I'm not sure how this is going to go. This well be my first trip there since Grandma's funeral. Since I was 14 she was my only grandparent, and as strange as it may sound, she was a connection to Dad. I'm not sure how this is going to go for me...I know I should probably warn all to watch out for the water works.

On another note, I am hoping to meet up with an old friend in Nebraska, gee, I can't even tell you the last time we saw each other, but she has a sweet baby Lilly that I can't wait to meet.
