Windy City

I dont know about the rest of you but it has been really windy at our house the past couple of days. I dont really like the wind since it almost blew a tree on top of the house where I was sleeping a couple of years ago. The house that we are in now has some big trees in the back yard so it makes me nervous. On sunday I prayed all day long that God would keep us safe. Actually the main reason is if any of you watched the news last night, I think channel 7 you would have seen a tree through someones house. And guess what, It was two houses down from us. I was in the kitchen and I heard a noise, not too loud but I looked outside and there it was. It was a miracle that no one was hurt. I think the parents were in the house but not in the livingroom. The kids were playing at the neighbors. The guy said that he was watching tv and that if he had still been sitting on the couch he would have been gone. It was really sad. But they really seemed in good spirits. I havent met them yet so I thought I might do something for them. All the guys were running around the house and it was cold and windy so I made a pot of coffee.

Then one of the neighbors came over to check on our trees and we got to talking. She said this is going to be their best Christmas. And I looked at here and thought "What". She said they all still have their lives. And I said yeah that is true. But truly in the back of my mind I thought Lady you are nuts, they just lost their house a week before Christmas. But at least they have a place to go. They were able to reach through the window and get all their presents they had under the tree. Im just glad that no one was hurt. Please pray that our house stays tree free today. They say the wind is supposed to stop today.

Correction

No, we have RATS. Actually both. I dont know if there are any more but we did have them. We killed 2 on saturday with traps and we put out poison in the garage. I havent heard anything else but who knows. It still grosses me out.

Oh I just remembered I havent told the story. (There is some sensitive material in this so those of you who get grossed out easily, dont read any further. The other night I was laying bed watching tv and I heard something. So I turned the tv off for like 10 min. Then I heard the cupboard doors to the garbage bang around. So I went out there and there were mashed potatoes lined through the livingroom. So I freaked out and tried to wake Darren up but he was sound asleep so I shut our door and finally fell asleep. So next morning I told darren and he freaked out. I looked behind the couch where the potaoes led and our vent was open and there was stuff all around it. Grooooossssssssssssssss. So we taped around all of the vents. I think that was the only way they were getting in except behind the garbage, but we took care of that. Anyway, If you are feeling sick about any of that run to the bathroom. Im sorry you had to read that.

We have a mouse

I know, isnt it gross. The other day I opened the door to the garage and something ran away. Then, I heard something under the sink the other night but I was too afraid to open it so I just kicked the door and it stopped. I dont know why but there was a hole under the sink. So darren boarded that up and where we thought it might be coming in from to the garage. Then last night I went to the garage and there it was again. Then Darren woke up last night and it was freaking out trying to get under the sink. It was squeaking and scratching. It grosses me out. Darrens going to get some traps today. I want to finish organizing the garage but Im not gonna do it if that thing is in there.

All moved in

Well, we are at our new house in covington. I didn't tell you what this house looked like before but it was bad. I think one of the worst houses Ive seen. There was dog pee and cigarette smoke in the house. You couldnt really see the floor because there was junk everywhere. And by junk I mean stuff that they thought that they could get a quarter for. But we would just throw away. The garage was the worst. You could not see that floor at all. It had so much computer stuff you could open a store. I gagged when I walked in it. I know this is gross but there was dog poop somewhere in there. It was so bad. But we got new carpet, new paint, bleached everything, a new toilet. It is really cute. When I take some pictures I will post them. Oh and it is so funny, when some people drive by they slow down and point because it looks so different. On the outside of the house there were two cars that didnt work but stuffed with stuff. So when they didnt take them Andy got the title so he could get rid of them. Well one day Andy went to the house and they were gone. The neighbor next door said they came at midnight and woke them up to get something to move them. At least we didnt have to do it. But we love it, especially the three bedrooms. Darren already put the Christmas lights up. We are the only one on the street. I will try to post pictures soon.
