Power and Camping

We had a massive storm race through our town on Saturday. We also had visitors over--they were from the Utah Valley Children's Choir. Really cool awesome strangers we were hosting because they were singing for our stake. Lots of fun. We put the Friendly Hero to bed--he also had just come down with a fever--and were eating dinner and getting ready to play games when *CRASH* the power goes out about 7:30pm. So we stay up and watch lightening and thunder and enjoy the storm and the guests.

All through the night we wake up a few times with the Friendly Hero and the penguin keeps me up a lot too. Strange having no AC and a heater in your belly makes for an uncomfortable, hot night.

Sunday Morning--still no power, but also the fever is gone. We all take really short showers, and go to church. Friendly Hero and I leave after the sacrament so we can take naps. Still no power, so we're starting to get worried that we will have sandwiches and chips for lunch and dinner. Everyone comes home and the Friendly Hero and I play with our guests. He is much happier to be healthy and rested. (Odd, I know) and at 3:30ish pm our power returns! YIPPEE!

We love having power. Our guests didn't mind camping out in an apartment with tons of boxes around. We are moving on Wednesday and so have been slowly packing our apartment. I felt a little bit bad that I had planned for a great dinner, but had it canceled because we had no power. But Pancakes are an acceptable substitute.

We went to the fireside the choir put on and it was AWESOME! The spirit was strong and the choir was amazing. I am really glad we were able to go. During the last song--the power went out. Flickered at Church and returned within two minutes. Not at our house. We were without power for three or four hours, but we now have power again and are grateful for AC and for friends willing to laugh at their experience.

Our guests are gone, and we move on Wednesday! Bring on this week!
