On Thursday morning I woke to a text from Matt informing me that his work had lost power. Not two minutes after responding to him our power went out at our house. On Wednesday night we had lots of freezing rain in our area which caused all the trees to break on to the power lines. I do not know how everyone way back when survived without power. By early afternoon on Thursday I was going insane. As the hours ticked by and the house got colder and darker I was crossing my fingers for power. I couldn't watch the news or access the Internet so I didn't have a clue as to how bad it was everywhere. Just after 8 pm the house was down to 56 degrees and my dad text me with the greatest news. The generator they have that had been broken for years was working. It took him and Roger a few hours and a flash light to get it running. I was so grateful, packed the kids and dog up and walked next door. It was nice a toasty when we got there. We kept the generator going until around 11 pm and turned it off for the night.
To make a long story short we finally got power today after over 80 hours. It was the longest 80 hours of my life. We were told on Saturday that we might not get power until late Tuesday evening. So glad that wasn't true. When I walked into our house this morning to get more clothes it was 42 degrees, Brrr!
