I remember our drive to pick up you and Andy. we were detoured off the highway at Blackfoot and then crossing a bridge that the guards were standing by ready to shut it down cuz the water was right up to it. We then went through the same experiences on Memorial Day of 1983. The people of Rexburg and especially YOU were so amazing with the help offered and the true compassion because you had been through it too. Those experiences helped to mold us into the people we are today.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102393895228936876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10507604.post-14378765411030103052008-06-08T12:45:00.000-06:002008-06-08T12:45:00.000-06:00Wow, it is so intersting to hear the personal stor...Wow, it is so intersting to hear the personal stories from that day. it made me want to cry reading how you were in the cafeteria but didn't have the energy to console that lady since you yourself were exhausted being so pregnant and i'm sure, tyring to keep a hyper 3 yr old boy entertained and under control and no home to go to. (maybe i want to cry because i have kids right now to make me better appriciate the hell of the moment)Andy and Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07333825024147036962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10507604.post-68604404508017491202008-06-07T13:30:00.000-06:002008-06-07T13:30:00.000-06:00I was on a business trip in Chicago when I heard o...I was on a business trip in Chicago when I heard of the flood. It took two days before I found out you were ok. That is an experience I never want to repeat.barbchuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12580476461917138916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10507604.post-79090645593641481002008-06-07T10:55:00.000-06:002008-06-07T10:55:00.000-06:00#1 WHAT were you doing camping at 8 months pregnan...#1 WHAT were you doing camping at 8 months pregnant??!<BR/><BR/>#2 i'm finally (at almost 32) starting to grasp what that experience was like for everyone. i've heard the stories my whole life and took for granted what it must have been like. wow. i can't imagine. that movie at the flood museum is fascinating if anyone hasn't seen it.<BR/><BR/>#3 thanks for piecing back together your life and offering me a fantastic existence.

I know the smell of mud you are talking about. I was only 7 when we lost our home in the Farmington mudslide, but I can still smell that aweful smell and hear the crackling of the trees. I think of that day every time I hear the sirens of a fire engine. It's crazy how you can remember traumatic experiences so vividly after so many years. That must have been so hard for you at such a young age and 8 months pregnant! You've come a long ways since then! Thanks for sharing these memories!suzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025380159973632682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10507604.post-83422327057358547012008-06-06T00:44:00.000-06:002008-06-06T00:44:00.000-06:00Beautifully said . . .

I've yet to write the COMPLETE story I have to tell - but, I do have to tell you, it would sound just like yours - almost to the "T"! Great job!<BR/><BR/>Cheers . . . a "fellow-flood-sister"Bertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324102944918922790noreply@blogger.com
