Our Sunday Evacuation

A few of you know about or have heard about our evacuation Sunday morning. I woke up to Base Security pounding on my door. I went down stairs hesitantly until I heard, "BASE SECURITY!! " I was told upon opening my front door, that there was a police emergency and I must evacuate immediately. Like a good citizen, I followed the warning and left with my girls (all of us in our PJ's). So, upon leaving and my brain waking up a little more, I thought - when can I go home? What about my class at church? Will I even get to go to church? Where should I go?

So, I called my dad - he being an Air Force kid growing up. He helped me think through some things and get some ideas. So, I called Tara up. Since she only lives about 1/2 a mile away. She graciously let us sit in her house for a little bit until I could call Norfolk Police and see if it was safe to go home. We were there for about a half hour when we found out we could go home. THANK HEAVENS!!! So, we headed back home and got ready for church. I am so blessed to have friends that would let me wake them up Sunday morning to ask if I could sit in their house for a bit until things were figured out. So, Thanks Tara!! You are a wonderful friend!! For those of you wondering what it was? My neighbor said that it was a car stopped on base and they couldn't get the trunk open, so they evacuated in case it was a bomb. Our home is just across the street from base. I'm glad they thought of us, and I'm glad it wasn't a bomb!
