Today when our alarms went off, at 5:30am we were accompanied with the
sound of our battery powered smoke detectors beeping. As I lay in bed wishing I
could just have five more minutes. Alan rolls over and says that the power is
out. At this moment I am thinking … YES! To cold (check) no power (check) no
school?.... maybe? This could be the best Monday morning ever! Then I realize
that I’m in college and they don’t really cancel classes unless everyone is out
of power. Well guess what… Everyone was out of power. I will tell you that
Rexburg is really really really dark at 5:30 am when the power is out. After
laying in bed for a while debating whether or not we want to even get up and
try to get ready for the day. We get up and realize we have no heat. Lucky for us, Alan’s sister Suzie gave us a
little gas lantern for Christmas. (Click here to read about it) Alan fired it
up and we were able to heat up the bathroom to shower. Then we receive text
messages from BYUI that says classes are cancelled until 11:30. Well what do
you do when you’re all ready for the day and nothing to do? Eat cereal – and
huddle by the little lantern that your awesome sister in law bought you for
Christmas!
Happy Monday!
PS. Our heat/power did come back on about 10:00. We have all of our fingers and toes left, even though it is -15 outside we are doing well.
