Hurricane Ike. (they come up with the dumbest names.)

here are some pics of our yard.. with my descriptions so you actually know what it is. LOL. luckily dad already got all of the debris picked up and its all in a pile in the front waiting for the trashman to pick it up. we went to kroger earlier and they still don't have alot of frozen stuff and meat but we were able to get a few things. i'm just glad i got to come home to electricity and that there wasn't any damage done to the house.

one of the branches that snapped off the big tree in our yard
all of the branches on the sidewalk in the front.
some of the trees that hung over from the neigbors yard fell into ours
this is the side where the shed and the little pond is.. this is where the fence fell and this is actually looking into the neighbors yard
well this is obvious lol
looking into the neighbors yard again and the house behind them
more of our yard

it was so weird and unexpected to evacuate though.. like on tuesday last week it was headed straight for corpus christi and we were just supposed to get some rain.. then all of the sudden wednesday it turned more north and every time i watched the news it was moving more and more north. i'm not glad a hurricane came but i am glad that we got to go away for a week and get a break and i had a really great time! hopefully we will get to come visit more often. now they are saying that my school won't reopen till wednesday so that means i won't go till thursday.. in a way it's nice but in a way i'm gonna have to make up those days sometime so it sucks. i actually enjoy going to school now so in a way i'm kinda bummed. anyway i hope and pray everything gets better for everyone else. peace out.
