Wow…What a Weekend!
After everything that’s gone on this weekend, it’s hard to believe that it’s almost over. Let’s back up to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday night…the point when our power went out and Jared got stuck in Orlando. (Jared was in Orlando with my boss for a Web-Seminar.) His flight for Thursday was cancelled, then his flight for Friday was cancelled…and then he finally made it back on Saturday. This…and the power outage…was all due to a wicked-crazy ice storm that hit us on Thursday. I was in the middle of watching Grey’s Anatomy when the power flickered off….then on….then off….then on….then off…for good. I bundled up for a chilly night with the kitties. Luckily, our neighbor (who somehow still had power) ran an extension cord over to our house so that I could plug in my heater. I managed to get up for work on Friday (which was not cancelled…grrrr…). However, upon getting ready to start my car, I realized that “duh…my garage door is electric”. Needless to say, I wasn’t getting the car out of the garage, and Jared’s truck was frozen shut. I had my friend from work come and pick me up. I mooched off friends that night so that I didn’t have to stay at home in the cold. (My house was a solid 40 degrees by now.) Miraculously…my power came back on around 10:00 p.m. on Friday. (YAY!!!) The cold from the night before was still enough to get me sick. I’ve been battling a nasty cold ever since. As of right now…I’m finally able to slightly taste food once again. We’ve been housing some friends the last few nights as well…since they still don’t have power. It was nice to finally get the house cleaned up today…in warmth. Anyway…it was a crazy weekend to say the least. I’m beyond thankful to have my husband safe at home with me…with plenty of power for our house and our friends.
