No Power

Last night, Mother Nature sent us freezing rain. Limbs began to fall off trees, roads were hazardous, and electric lines began to blow. At 11:10 pm last night we lost power. Everyone else was asleep, so we just went to sleep for the night hoping that the electricity would be restored by morning.

At 5 am I was awakened by gun shot like noises. I looked out the window and could see the electric transformer up the block blowing and releasing a huge bolt of light. At this point we knew there was a slight likelihood that the electricity would be returning back on for some time.

After a lot of thought and prayer, Jonathan and I decided the best course of action would be to pack everyone up and risk traveling to Bowling Green to stay with my parents. We had confirmed with them that they still had electricity. We knew that we could probably rough it, but Gramma would never be able to tolerate being in a home with no heat or electricity.

The kids were pretty excited for the adventure of going to Gramma and Grampa's, knowing full well that we would make sure their needs were cared for.

The snow started as we headed out their way. Once we got settled in, and warmed up, Grampa asked if Dylan would like to go out and use the snow blower to keep up with the snow fall.
Dylan didn't even hesitate to be willing to serve.

This was the results of all of the snow

We were so grateful to have somewhere we could go to be warm, fed and loved during these difficult times. We gained a real testimony of appreciating the smallest of our blessings.
We are so grateful to have family that we can count on.
