Quick Update

Hi All,

Just a quick update while I have generator power and the laptop has battery life! We are all okay.......we were hit pretty hard by the storm here in Trimble County. The kids didn't have school all last week, and we aren't sure if they will have it tomorrow. We are thankful that we have a fireplace and a gas stove. We have been living in one room of the house. Today was my first real shower since Wednesday morning (when we lost power). Rachel and Darryl have been at our friends house since Friday night. They came and got them because we couldn't even get the van out to go and take them anywhere. We worked forever to get the truck to the end of the drive so I could go to work on Friday. The office was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday and I had to take a vacation day on Thursday.

We ran out of firewood, plenty to cut, but unable to cut. Thanks to wonderful neighbors they allowed us to get as much as we needed. Yesterday Russell went and bought a rick of wood so we didn't have to keep borrowing. Thanks to Mark and Terri Mounce for the firewood.

We now have a generator to use thanks to Jeff and Lisa Moore! They offered us theirs since they got electricity on Friday. THANKS LISA & JEFF!

Please pray that our electricity comes on tomorrow and that Russell continues to be strong. He has done a wonderful job of taking care of keeping us warm (staying half awake to keep the fire going all night and all day, hauling wood and shoveling and pushing stuck vehicles).

Well that is all for now, will update as soon as possible.
