I'm so excited and nervous all at the same time. This is a great moment in my life and I want to share it with everyone.

Hail Storm 4-15-2006

Some pieces of hail that I quickly picked up before they melted out in our back yard. They are sitting in our kitchen sink when I took this picture. This storm happened on April 15, 2006. Two large hail storms in one year... amazing stuff!
