We went to bed on Thursday night. I had barley checked in on Leah around 11 PM. I went to bed and we were all fast asleep. At midnight I heard an awful loud noise. I sat straight up in bed, (which I thought only happened in movies) and asked Michael what that noise was. He went in and checked on the kids and asked me if it came from outside. I answered Yes of course it came from outside, no good thing could come from that noise. I can't believe he didn't hear it. Michael went to the deck and could hear noises. He called me out there and told me someone was on the deck. Later I asked him why he wanted me out there with him, and he answered I thought two people were better to fight off someone than one. Anways, we flipped on the light and saw that it was actually a huge tree branch crashing into our deck. The tree belongs to our neighbor so they came over. They decided that it could be taken care of for less than what insurance deducible would be, so we all chipped in and cleaned up. We started at 7:30 AM and finished for around 10:00PM. We finished cleaning everything up the next morning around 10AM. We have such good friends who came to help. We are so blessed to have wonderful friends! We were also blessed that no one got hurt and their was very little damage. Our neighbor is going to come back to fix our deck and our power line to our garage. This could have been so much worse and we feel so blessed that it turned out the way it did. We have no idea why the tree fell. We only figured that it was stressed due to the drought, but it looks healthy. Green leaves and all.
This is what we put out for the City to pick up, we kept the rest of the wood for camp outs and what not.
