4 days but We're Back!!

OK- Ice Storms in Kansas are becoming something that just happens in this wonderful state. We lost power about midnight on Monday. Got up Tues am, Annie was a mess, no lights, no TV, and we were off our schedule. So we left by 10:30- most of the town had no power and we did not want to stay. We went to my parents which was great. Having our own space, not feeling like we were in other people's way. We got some Christmas shopping done, and our favorite Crown Center. It was hard making plans, if we are in KC we will... if we have power we will go back and... I had a final on Thur night, but my prof made it online, it was already open book so it just made sense, the only problem I did not think to bring my bag on Tues. The prof said i could turn it in on Mon. It would have been real hard to have to come back for it if we did not have power. Friday afternoon we got power and most people we know have gotten their power on Fri and Sat. That's our update, and now I will go work on my final. Hopefully Luke will help me post with the other digital camera.

One more fun thing: Last night I got an early Christmas present and I love it. Luke ordered stockings from Pottery Barn and Tara put our names on them. They are awesome, big and really cute. When Luke gave them to me I cried. I think I have wanted to cry for the last couple of days and I finally had something good to cry about. The 4th one is blue with a sledding snowman, I told Luke if we find out we are having a girl I will try to return that one, it could be for either--it makes me anxious to find out. A boy would be fit right in here.
