Galveston - 5 Months Later

Layne and I decided to go to Galveston yesterday for the day, this was the first time we had been down there since the storm. Although there has been a ton of stuff cleaned up it is still crazy to see all the damage and destruction. I thought I would share some pictures with yall from our trip.

The pictures below are from Layne's Grandfather's house. They sold it a little over a year ago. I never saw it but was told is was a gorgeous 3 story beach house.

The slab was completely gone in the middle of the house.

They wrote their last name on the slab when it was built. I took this pic to show his mom.

This is the house Layne's Family had when he was little.

Here's another house that we saw on the beach.

Waiting in line for the ferry. I hate waiting in line for the ferry :(

They had a bunch of stuff set up on the Strand for Mardi Gras, we were walking to some of the shops when we noticed this :

They had a line around one of the buildings showing how far up the water was. Many of the stores and shops had been gutted and we re-doing everything.

We took pictures standing by the "Ike Water Line," keep in mind we are standing on a sidewalk about 2 ft off the street. It was HIGH!!!

This one is just me being a dork as usual! I tried to talk Layne into letting me buy it ... he said no :( haha

I just had to take a picture of the sunset on our way home. So pretty!

Comic Relief

Well, this week at work has been crazy, hectic and beyond stressful. I feel like I have been at my Wit's end all week.

Lets just say I do not work in the best area of town and there are quite a few people who stand by the underpasses with signs asking for money. I do not give money to them nor do I condone it, however there is one guy who lately has had some very funny and original signs. With this hellacious week i have been having some of these signs really made me laugh...it was some much neededed comic relief from my day!

So, i thought i would share some of these with yall :

1. In Need Of Economic Stimulous

2. Family was captured by Ninjas. Need money for karate lessons.

3. Why lie, i just want a beer.

4. Family was captured by Aliens. Need money for flying saucer and flying lessons......and a ray gun. <--- This one really made me laugh!

Hope these give yall a little chuckle on this gorgeous Friday!

Microsoft Project....

Is the DEVIL. That is all.

25 Randoms

1. I don't like it when my food touches. Yes, I am well aware that this is weird and Layne makes fun of me all the time for it. I think food has different tastes for a reason I don't like it when they are all mixed together. For this reason I can not eat Pot Pies.
