Finally !!!!

Good Morning,

We got our lights turned on yesterday evening. It is amazing how much you do not realize what you have until you no longer have it. Lights and heat seem so everyday, that when its gone for a few days, it seems like you have lost it all..We were so blessed to have been able to stay with my dad in Harrison. His ligts were only off for about 12 hrs. and we had heat, water, and great company. We couldn't have asked for more. All of our friends and family are doing fine as well..Most have lights now to. There are several still without power, but I dont think it will be long now. We will prob. be at dad's for a day or so still, just to not have to drive back in forth, if we have school. It will be easier to not have to drive back and forth. We will prob. be at home on tues. afternoon. if not before. We stayed here last night at home. James was able to get a chain saw from Wal-Mart, and was able to get most of the trees cut down, and but in a pile. He helped at our church, which had several trees down there too..One of our church families invited us to stay for dinner last night, but we ended up taking them to Branson for dinner..We had a good night. Being that I had been at my dad's little place, and with 4 kids stuck in the house for about a week, with not much to do, well lets just say I was pulling my hair out. It was so nice to be albe to just get out without kids, and enjoy the quite time alone with friends..Now I feel like I can make it..lol..

We hope everyone is good, and that everyone has lights soon..

God Bless
