We had a very unusual ice storm hit our area and were left without power for 5 days. It literally ripped trees apart and down, and toppled power lines all over. I have never seen anything like it. There are still many people without power, and the clean-up will last for months. We learned a lot about being prepared for a disaster, and about how life would look without power for our family.
Today I'm thankful for:
- Neighbors who all come together and help each other in times of need.
- A dishwasher, a stove, an oven, a washer and dryer, lights, heat, and television.
- Power that comes directly to our home
- No damage to our home or property
- Memories made with the family during a tough time
- Friends who offer up their homes and appliances for others who need to shower, laundry, get warm, etc.

| The cleanup crew when the ice finally melted. The kids in the cul-de-sac wanted to do their part and help break down branches. The men out in the street are trimming all the trees in our circle. |

| We were able to watch a movie one night with our generator. It was a fun movie night. Minions always make us laugh. |
