Saturday I went into work (still need to get in 5 hours of overtime a week) and the insurance adjuster came out to take pictures and all the other crap they do. He still had no answers for us, so we are still waiting to figure out if insurance is going to cover anything. At this point, we don't think they will but we'll be happy if we get anything out of this. We are also filing a claim with the city of Urbandale and with FEMA, maybe one of them will pan out.
Saturday night we headed down to Creston for a doggy funeral. :( Brandon's dog Buddy Maximus, who he has had for over 10 years, past away last weekend and we all got together to 'remember' Buddy and to support Brandon (we knew he was having a tough time dealing with this loss). Brandon put together a slide show and had a nice 'eulogy', it actually brought tears to my eyes! Dog-people understand.
This morning we headed down to the Iowa State Fair, we got down there right at 9 am when they opened to beat the heat and the crowds. Presley was not impressed. She wasn't real happy with anything, which made it a fairly quick trip for us. The most amazing thing I saw was when they had the National Anthem at 10 am. They announced it and had a girl singing.....and EVERYONE stopped, took their hats off and listened. It was awesome to see thousands of people take a minute to stop. I was impressed (impressed probably b/c at the fair you get used to seeing mullets and muffin tops).
We spent the afternoon doing laundry and cleaning. Steve worked some more in the garage and basement, trying to get stuff organized and back in the basement where it belongs. I made our weekly trip to Target and the grocery store, and then we spent the evening just hanging out and playing with Presley! Another busy weekend, followed by another busy week and weekend ahead of us. Hope you all have a great week and enjoy the nice weather ahead of us! :)
