Boom!

Last night was interesting... I had just finished writing the blog and Grant had Noah in the bath. I was sitting on the couch, playing Dr. Mario and all of a sudden the sky outside the window lit up and then the house went dark. The noise was incredible! We lost power...

Grant and I both ran outside almost immediately to see if we could detect where the lightning had hit. We were both really worried that it had been so close that we were going to find something outside on fire. Our entire street had lost power, but the street behind us (on the opposite side of the street, not our "block") seemed to have power. Grant called FPL and they said it was going to be at least three hours 'til the power came back up. Lovely...

Losing power during the day is one thing, but losing power at night is completely different. We got some candles lit and regrouped a little bit. Since we weren't sure how long we were going to be powerless, we called Kristina and offered to bring her ice cream in exchange for a place to hang out with power for a little bit :) So we headed over there for a early birthday ice cream treat with Kristina (Happy Birthday, Kristina!) and hung out for awhile. Thank goodness that we have such good friends :) By the time we came home the power was back on and the rest of the night was uneventful.

Today has been more of the same uneventfulness. Since we were out a little late last night, Noah's been a bit of a handful today. That is one kiddo that really needs his sleep and it makes a huge difference in his demeanor for the day if he doesn't get it.

Still storming here so I'm going to wrap this up before we lose power again ;-) Until tomorrow then!
