STORMS!!

We have had some super crazy weather here in Illinois!  About two weeks ago we hit a peek that I just have to tell you about...
I woke up on a Monday morning and realized that we had no power.  I knew that there were storms earlier and figured that it would be out for a few hours.  In a way, I was actually excited because I had a good book to read (The Time Travelers Wife, go read it now!) and it forced me to pay attention to it and not worry about internet/tv.  As the day went on, the power did not come back on and it was getting hot in our apartment.  As evening approached, I was over it.  We decided to go to David's office so that John and him could watch wrestling and I could read my book in some air conditioning.  We came back to the apartment to sleep and the whole night was miserable!

On Tuesday, I heard that it could take a while for the power to come back on after going out for a run.  I decided that I was definitely done with living that way!  It was also getting very hot and my cats were laying around like they were miserable.  I called my Dad and vet and they both said to take the cats out of there.  All of the hotels were literally booked, so we packed up the car and drove down to David's mom's house to stay.  It worked out well until HER power went out at 6:00!  Crazy, right?!  She made us dinner in the dark and the power ended up coming on at about 10:00.

Wednesday I woke up to a text saying that the power was back on at our apartment.  So, I packed up again and went back home.  The whole thing was an adventure for sure which I will not forget!

Our gear!
