Home Sweet Home

At 3:00 AM Tues night we lost power in our home. We stayed home Wed & even slept in our house that night. Jon suggested all 4 of us sleep on the living floor so we could make sure the girls didn't get push their blankets off in the middle of the night. We used every blanket in the house & were still cold. We decided to stay the night b/c our power came on for 3 hours on Wed, so we thought for sure it would come back on anytime...boy were we wrong! That morning we packed a suitcase & went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast to discuss our next move. After breakfast, we headed over to Corey & Stephanie's house where we stayed the night. We appreciated their hospitality immensely! On Thurs we headed over to Jon's Uncle Rick & Aunt Jenny's house where Madelyn & Ansley played with their cousins all day. We ate some of Aunt Jenny's chili (boy did it hit the spot) & were prepared to stay the night but Barbara & Ordie's power came back on so we headed over there. We stayed there for the duration of our power outage (we got home Tues afternoon). We were very comfortable there considering their house is child proofed & they had plenty of food & room for us. Jon & I also went to the UL/Connecticut game while the Day's babysat for us. All in all, we were very fortunate to have a warm place to sleep every night. I felt really sorry for the people that had to tough it out at their home with no heat b/c I know our house was freezing! Its good to be home!
