After math of IKE

10 DAYS, not hours without electricity! Thankfully we are back in action. It was hard to live with out energy...... I would NOT make a great pioneer. ITS TOO HARD! I love the internet and my phone. My experience with all of this is definitely gratitude. We were luck we had food storage and were prepared. Though I was getting on my last nerve to deal with no energy. I almost broke down and bought a generator. I didn't want to buy just anyone. I wanted to research it and get a good one to last. But oh yea, how to do that with no INTERNET! UGH!

On a happier note I had just spend $100 at halfpriced books so I was ok with entertainment. Don on the other hand hated it. The computer and tv are his babies. He was driving me nuts with all the attention he wanted. I love my husband and this has never happened in our marriage, until now where HE constantly wanted me to do things with him. It was great to switch things up. Alright, so here are some photos of the aftermath. These were just in my neighborhood. I know there was more damage all around Houston.

These first 2 pictures are of the lot next to us. If they had fallen the other way they would have hit my parents room and either Elena's or Adelyn's room. Those 2 trees would have caused alot of damage. We are very blessed. The kids slept in my closet the night of IKE. So they were safe.

I recognize that damage! lol
I'm so relieved that noone in the family had damage from the hurricane. I didn't know those trees fell near your house! Thank goodness they went the other way!

I'm so glad the trees didn't fall on your house. That was a blessing for you guys. I can't imagine what you all went through but I'm so glad everything worked out.
