I would like to apologize for not updating is so long. ALOT has happened since the last update.
Well during the ice storm we were stuck at my in-laws from that Monday night till Thursday afternoon. With the weather threatening to get bad early Tue. morning we decided to go on to his mom and dad's to stay just in case the power went out. They have wood heat so if the power went out we would at least have heat. When we woke up Tue morning the rain that we got that night was ice. Through out the week we only lost power a few times, the longest being maybe 5 hours. What was so bad was we had NO contact with the outside world, and when I say no contact I mean no contact, no tv, no Internet, no phone, or cell phone. On Wed. Christon had to take off work and go home. It was to get down to 18 degrees that night and without power everything would freeze and bust. The temp in the house was already down to 42 and Christon had to get the generator hooked up to some small heaters to warm thing up. Right after he got everything hooked up and ready to go the power came back on. He stayed at the house that night and me and lil man stayed at his mom's. I got up and went to work about 10:30 to do some paper work on Thurs. We didn't see patients b/c most still didn't have power or wasn't able to get out. We decided that we would see what patients that wanted to come in on Friday. I finished my paper work and called patients to see who could and would come in on Friday and went on home. I got home from work Christon got ready and went to work and me and lil man settled in to watch tv. The lights start to flicker and I decided I wasn't staying here if the power goes out in the middle of the night. So I packed us some clothes and went to Jason and Tiff's and stayed the night with them. Got up and got ready to go to work and right before I walked out the door Brad called and said to stay at home b/c we didn't have any power at the office. So me and lil man went to the grocery for mom and went to Provo. Mom and dad didn't have any power but dad had the generator running everything. Mom watched lil mac and lil man while me, bubby, Becca, Emily, and Justin went to BG. We went and ate then just rode around for a lil while. I stayed with them that night. Let me tell ya it was a great week to start back to work. I worked only 1 day and 3 hours for the whole week. That is one ice storm no one will forget.
Other than the ice storm we went and visited with Laurie to have pic made. We had a great time and as always Laurie did a GREAT job.
I am happy with ALL of them. Speaking of Laurie she has great news to share with everyone. She is doing Prom pictures again this year. I am so excited for her and also proud. We had a trip to the doctors office on Monday for our 2 month check up. Yeah he is already 2 months old, I can't believe it myself. Everyone has told me that one day you are holding them feeding them a bottle and before you know it they are married with there own child. How true that is. Kentin Riley is 9lbs. 8 1/2 oz. and 21 3/4in long. We are still sleeping through the night. He is in bed by 10:30pm and up around 5:30am, I couldn't ask for a better baby.
We along with many others are going through hard times. As most of you all know they have layed off 48 more people at Aleris. After 10 1/2 years of working there my husband was one of them. It really didn't come as a shock but you are never ready for something like this. One thing good that has come out of this is we are saving money on baby sitting....lol. Christon didn't like his job and now this is an opportunity for him to go back to something he enjoys....mining. So I ask that everyone remember us and everyone else in your prayers. If no one can provide I know God will.
Hope everyone has a great Valentines day and weekend.
