The count down is on

Well we will be leaving around 8am tomorrow to take Brianna to TRC. She has had several meltdowns I'm not sure why. I told her she has already been to TRC and knows what is required of her but for some reason she is really nervous this time. We are thinking maybe it just seems more final to her that it is time for her to move on. But anyway if you could all say a prayer for her that she understands the importance of the classes and that she needs to stay focused on that and not the social aspect of the TRC.
Today is the first day of autumn my favorite time of the year. Lee and I hope to get out and get some really good pictures of the colors this year. Last year we keep saying we need to take a road trip to take pictures and then the next thing we knew there were no leaves on the tress. This year we hope to do better.
Everyone have a great day and be safe in what ever you do.

Love
the Brandts

Rain Rain Rain.... And more on the way

Your gonna like this. Not sure if most of you know but we have had a lot of rain back here for the past week (and there is more to come) but anyway. There is flooding south of us and the other day they were doing a news report about a family who were trapped. They tried several ways to get to them with no luck. Finely the guy said the heck with it and loaded up his family and dog (a Black Lab) into their truck and decided to go for it. The news crew was there filming and the guy had to cross a spot that was about 2 feet deep. So here here he comes (about 25 miles an hour) and water was flying everywhere. Well he made it (Yay) and everyone was cheering and the cameras were rolling. Then the guy opens his door on the truck and the damn dog jumped out and ran right straight for the water and jumped in. The funny part was the camera man was shooting the dog and not the people who had just been saved. Anyway the dog almost drowned in the swift water. They saved him... Then they showed rescues with people using their John Deer Tractors........ Gotta love the south..

Brianna Update

We just got the e-mail that Brianna goes into the TRC on September 23. Bless her heart. We were leaving on the 24th for Woman's Retreat for church to Pigeon Forge, which has already been paid for and now there will be no trip for Bree.

She said that's ok she is so excited. She goes in for her 2 week trial and now we pray that she gets accepted into the program.

Our camp-out was great. There was 37 people at the pot luck. The camp grounds was so nice everything is so clean, green and I loved the paved site to put the rig on everything stays nice and clean. We were camped right on the Cumberland River and it was awesome.
TRC had their graduation on August 28tha and we went. Very touching. All the grads were so proud of what they had done. I believe 6 grads were from the TBI unit so hopefully that will open up some space.
We have all 3 been under the weather with some kind of bug or allergies or something.
Well we were up at 5am closing windows a 30% chance of hit and miss showers turned into lightening, thunder and a down pour that is still going on. Of course Bree slept through the storming. She gets up this morning ans says "oh it is storming outside" How she can sleep through the thunder I do not know the thunder here sounds like it is going to rip the house apart. Very, very loud!!
Well every one have a great day and be safe and remember the Lord loves you.
