Another unromantic Valentine's Day- but it was memorable.
It started last night with the wind picking up. At midnight we heard a loud noise- probably a tree splitting. Several of us ran out of the house to make sure everything was secure, and finding nothing, we prayed for peace and safety on the base, and went to bed. By morning, there was debris all around our property; we lost some chunks of roofing, lots of big tree branches were down, a tree fell on the edge of our guys bunkhouse, and our electricity was out. All day.
Then my friend broke his leg. (And thats after I spent Thursday in the ER with a friend that sprained his knee, and Friday morning cleaning road rash from another guy that had a moped accident.) Its been one of those weeks. Please pray for us.

Gourmet Valentines day treats:)
They say dinner candlelight is romantic...what about flashlights? The wind finally died down, but we were stuck sitting around in a dark house with little vision for our evening- until we found camp popcorn in the cupboard, and used our gas stove to cook it up... it was a great deal of fun.
A memorable Valentine's Day for sure.
