Day 137, July 5th

Today was one of those days, I thought, oh goodness we are going to have yet another picture of our dinner, and tonight's dinner isn't that exciting!! Chicken over salad...snoozefest! My poor blog readers!
Then sweet Mother Nature stepped in and helped us out!! Ryan was outside grilling while I tried once again to get into this season of SYTYCD, he came inside and asked if I wanted to see something gross.  Yes, Ryan, that's exactly what I want to do!!
But somehow he convinced me to come out, and saw the crazy dust rising over the mountain. We are both Phoenix natives, and have seen some crazy dust storms, but never something like this.  From this point it only took like 5 minutes to come over the mountain and engulf our place!

Once the storm was full on we headed back inside to eat dinner.  Of course turned on the news, like any Phoenician does when the weather isn't sunny and clear and hung out with our children. Our patio door and window were shaking like crazy, and I was pretty confident they were going to burst through!! We ate dinner sitting on the floor in case that did happen, hoping that would prevent all the glass cutting our faces open!  The storm passed, not before covering our house in dirt, and we went on with our night.  The famous Haboob of 2011.  It's weird...literally never heard of a haboob, but they make it seem like it's a common happening in the PHX.  Either way, not a fan, it took days to clean all the dirt!!
