Yesterday...

…we woke up to 6” of snow at our house! Luckily a mystery man shoveled most of the driveway with a four wheeler/snow plow machine. Brett when out to assist with a snow shovel and discovered this gentleman’s true identity.


…the power went out for 6 hours! Ever since we moved into our new house, we knew sooner or later we would get the “welcome to our ward – now you get to speak” call. Sure enough, we were asked to speak on Sunday, December 14th. Since our church didn’t start until 11:30, we figured we had plenty of time to finish our talks on Sunday morning before church. At 10:30 a.m., as I was typing away on the computer, zap – the power goes out. We started getting suspicious when it didn’t come on after a minute or two, and once we reached the half hour mark we were hopeful it wouldn’t come back on for a couple more hours yet. Sure enough, about 10 minutes before church we got a call saying that church was canceled for the day! No surprise that our talks were rescheduled for January.



…Penny the dog rode in the back of a truck the first time without injury! We tried that a while ago and she was terrified, jumped out of the truck, and cut her head open. She must have learned her lesson, because this time she performed brilliantly.


…we put up our Christmas tree! Pictures to follow of all the holiday spirit at our house.
