Winter Blast 2009!

We were out of electricity from Tuesday night until Friday night. I guess we were lucky since there are still several folks with out power. I didn't work Tuesday-Friday because the office didn't have power either! I spent a lot of time with Uncle Brian, Christina and their girls, since Jarrod was out working and they had a gas fireplace and it was pretty warm there. Uncle Brian even cooked us some soup on his fish cooker! ha! I had a good time spending time with them, playing board games and card games. We spent Thurs night at my Mom and Dad's house since Jarrod got off at a decent time that night. When we didn't have electricity Friday afternoon I was frustrated so I packed up my stuff and me and the cat headed for Hickory Ridge. I had planned to stay until Sunday, that's when they were saying we would get power. Fortunately, when Jarrod got home around 9pm Friday night we had power! I came home Saturday afternoon and cleaned the mess in the fridge and freezer and did some much needed laundry! Sunday we had my grandpa's b-day party/lunch so I went back to HR alone, since Jarrod is working pretty much non-stop. I had a good day visiting with the fam. I am glad we have power, it really makes you think how blessed we are and how much we take it for granted!
