We lost our power this week. It's amazing how dependant we've become on light, heat, TV, white noise to help us sleep, hot water, music, hot stove, etc. At first it was somewhat exciting. Something new and different from the norm. But then night came and the house was cold, dark, and silent. It wasn't so fun anymore. In fact it was pretty depressing. We lit candles all over the house and bundled up in layers of clothing. Scott loved it! But as I sat on the couch trying to read my magazine by candlelight, and then woke up to Maren's elbows in my back throughout the night, I was ready to get the power back. We woke up the next morning feeling quite cold and realizing that there was no coffee, no hot shower, no morning cartoons for Maren. I took the kids outside (which was warmer than inside at the time), and we made hot chocolate on the camping stove. Then we packed up and went to our friends (Kurt and Shannon's) house. When we got home the power was back on. It's good to have 21st century luxuries back. Guess I'm spoiled :-)
