in a land not so far, far away...

jared was at warrior prince academy...


and lauren was at princess prep school...


brandon and i were left to roam around town...


unfortunately, the littlest prince could not handle going in and out of stores, so we decided to go back to the royal church and rest. we both were snoozing peacefully when king james called and asked us where we were. i sensed panic in his voice, so i asked what was going on. he said that they had evacuated to the interior of the work castle and i should seek cover as well. i hung up and put the royal car in drive. i ran over three curbs to get to the closest church building i knew would be unlocked. i was shaking so bad that i could barely unbuckle prince brandon's carseat. one of my biggest fears in life is being caught in a tornado. i grabbed our bags and ran towards the sanctuary, but all the doors were locked. sheets of rain were coming down at this point. i just wanted to get to the building jared and lauren were in. but i couldn't. the wind was really picking up, so i ran into the front nursery doors. the staff members were so kind to check the weather for me, and at that point there were no tornado warnings for the area near the church. the secretary told me all about the church's emergency evacuation procedures and how they are prepared for situations like that. my heartrate finally settled down, but i still hunkered down in the hallway anyway and waited it out. thankfully nothing came of it other than a torrential downpour. when i picked up the big kids after warrior prince academy and princess prep school, they had no idea it had rained!
