Last night...

Last night was a pretty eventful night at the Payne house. Spencer had just left for prom and my parents had just left to go to a dinner at my grandpa Payne's house. I was sitting upstairs and all the sudden Colton (who was on the phone with my mom) came running in the room and said he went downstairs to look for Ashley and he saw water pouring into our room through the window! I jumped up and went running downstairs and sure enough there is water rushing into our room! Let me just say this is not the first time our bedroom has flooded. No, this is like the 4th or 5th time and the only room in our house that has ever flooded! So, Ashley opened the blinds to see where it was coming from and there was 6-8 inches of water in our window well! It looked like a fish tank. I told the boys to start grabbing anything they could and get it out of there! I got on the phone with my mom so she could tell my how to turn off the main water outside and told Colton to go get the neighbor. We got it shut off and then I ran inside and started just grabbing stuff and throughing it into the family room downstairs. Oh and of course I had clothes all over the floor because I was in the middle of organizing my closet and dresser, needless to say half of them are now covered in smelly, dirty water. My parents finally made it home and brought two of my uncles with them. They moved really fast and were able to get everything out and all of the furniture disassembled (including my new dresser:( We couldn't have done it all that quickly without their help! Apparently what had happened was a sprinkler pipe had broken that was right outside our window. So... Ashley and I have set up camp in the downstairs family room with all of our stuff EVERYWHERE! I have no idea where anything is...and school starts tomorrow. Oh and we know from past experience that no, the insurance does not cover flood damage when the water comes in from the outside. Great. This is what our room currently looks like:

Not exactly the picture I thought I would be posting of our room!
