Our electricity went out at 10:30 this morning and we were told it was due to a bad accident and 4500 people were without power, but it should be up by 2pm. So, we
had to go out to eat for lunch.

At 2, the power was still not up so we called and the time changed to 4pm that we would have power, and then it got pushed back to 7pm. Need I mention that everyone around us had power since lunch time.

It seemed like it was always that way growing up; the power would always work on the other side of the street, not ours. So we went over to Grandma and Grandpas and they fed us dinner and let us hang out over there for a bit. Then at 7 we went home. The power was still out. Dave was pretty mad at this point, but we went and got ice cream and looked at some more Christmas lights. Our bishop called us and told us he was aware of our situation and we could go to a ward members home where other families were keeping warm at, but by that time we were just hoping that the 8:30 promise of power would be true this time so we didn't bother. It was a snowy, dark, cold day; the perfect day to lose power.

But the power did come back on at 8:30, and now we are looking at generators. haha I feel lucky to have electricity in the first place, but it was just one of those inconveniences where I wish we could have been more prepared.
