It doesn't seem like it has been that long since I've last posted, but it has been 13 days so I probably should update people.
Starting off, the weekend before last was quite interesting. Friday night Gaila and I ate a Perkins and rented a movie to relax. Not much going on.
Saturday was the day of the tornado. Luckily, we were both at my place when it happened, but Adrienne was in Story City (she's fine). They had to evacuate the stadium because of the weather (ISU won the game). One house in Ames was destroyed, though compared to other towns like Woodward, we were lucky. Surveying the damage on Sunday we found that the tornado came within half a mile or so of Gaila's apartment. It had snapped a thick power pole and demolished a nearby house.
After the storms and making sure Gaila's mom was okay, we went to Outback Steakhouse in Ankeny. We called ahead to reserve our spot on the list and was presented with an hour and forty-five minute wait, so we drove down to Jordan Creek to check out the new iPods with video and the 30" Apple Cinema Displays. I only had enough time to drool for 10 minutes before we had to leave for Outback.
Sunday we actually went to church. The reason for actually going to church on Sunday morning was there was a free Thanksgiving dinner after service. The food was great. After church we went to survey some of the damage done by the tornado then went to the play "The Pavilion" done by ISU Theater. Dinner that night was at Legend's.
Last week was busy with getting projects worked on and stuff. Work has been busy doing support stuff rather than programming stuff that I should be doing right now.
Last night Gaila and I went to Nevada for a Thanksgiving potluck with her mom. Free food is good. Tonight we are showing up at her mom's place for some beef stew before heading down to Ottumwa for Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday.
Have a good holiday.
