What A Night...

Yesterday Craig called me to let me know he and Ray would be taking they're Kayaks out to go fishing at Lake Lewisville. He said they would be back around 9:00 or 10:00.
So...I had a night to myself!! To celebrate, I decided to watch
PS...I Love You

I've been addicted to that movie for a while, and here's a big reason why...
Mmmmm Denny.
Anyway. I was watching the movie and suddenly heard our sirens going off. Then I heard a loud voice saying, "Tornado. Take Cover" I look out the front window and notice that our main tree branch is on the other side of the tree. I guess 80 mph winds will do that to a tree.
I instantly thought of Craig in his kayak on the lake and this flashed through my head...
And this...
And this...
Craig finally called and I calmed down from knowing he was ok.
I walked out the front and noticed the neighbors tree had split.
Our electricity was out, so Ray and Craig came to rescue me from the dark house.
With not much to do-we hit the $2 movie and saw this...
We came back home and still no electricty. What to do?
We grabbed the camera and took time delay shots.
Here Craig tries to write his name...
That didn't work out, so he did these instead.



Our electricity came back on in the middle of the night.
What a night!!

Tilt Shift Maker

Check out these pics. Craig showed me a sight that can make your pics look miniature. You can't really tell in the first few...but you can in the last ones. Really cool!!

Yard Work...Blech-k...

For the first time since Craig and I met, we had a 3 day weekend and did not go out of town. Instead-we decided to trim trees...

After assessing the situation...

We got to work.






Yes, Craig did the majority of the work.
However...with these 2 tools...I cut down a tree all by myself!!
See my progress!!!
Trust me...it's not as easy as I thought it would be.

It took all three days to prune 7 trees. Here are a few shots...

Sorry!!

Sorry for the lack of blogging. Sometimes life just happens.

So we went from here (a 900 square foot apt)
To here!! (A 2,000 square foot house)

Craig removed a door...

To bring in the fridge!

This will be the boys room. For now, it's the storage room.

Craig got a new toy...

A steamer.

Old living room...
