I think the only good thing to come out of Hurricane Ike is the fact that I lost 7 pounds! Yippeee! That did come from the stress and worry the night of. I think I've developed a new fear - FIRE. I was freaking out during the whole storm worrying that a tree was gonna fall on the house and one of the many candles we had lit would catch fire and our house would burn down. All of these scenarios kept playing themselves out in my mind as I listened to the howl of the wind and the breaking of tree limbs hitting our roof. Thankfully, nothing that bad happened. But, now I find myself thinking about how much it would suck if our house caught fire. It would make me so sad.
Anyways, on to better things. Yay for losing 7 pounds...now I just need to keep it up! I am going to the gym today and I'm going to do the power flex and the step class. Two hour work outs are the way to go. I need to work off the Halloween candy I ate last night and this morning!

the calm before the storm!
After - same area.
The tree that fell on the house. No damage, thank God.
This tree was completely uprooted! 
This is just a quarter of our backyard - the whole thing looked like this!
Max and his chainsaw! Watch out!!
