Well, a few months ago we had a loss in our family. Well, I guess it's not really a loss if you didn't like it in the first place. When we moved into this house we had this awesome deck in the backyard. (If not noted, there is sarcasm dripping from that!) We really didn't like the deck or covering and were planning on ripping it out and replacing it sometime in the future. Apparently that future is now. Due to a combination of rotten wood, poor workmanship, and a ton of snow and ice pack, the roof of our deck came down all by itself. It was just the kids and I at home, and I was up in the bedroom with Jared and the kids were down in the living room. At first I thought the kids had gotten into something and knocked it over, then I thought something big in the kitchen had fallen, then I thought is this thunder. It was really loud and a little scary. The kids didn't get too freaked out, but they were definitely scared by it. Shoot, it shook me up a little bit. The kids were coming up with all sorts of explanations. The one that eventually stuck was that a giant robot stepped on the roof and made it fall. It sure looked like it...
We were very blessed though. No one was out there, not even the dog. The only casualty was Brandon's grill. And that may even be salvageable, we'll see. Plus, now we don't have to figure out how to take the roof down! Though we do have to figure out what to do with all the wood...
