Welcome to my world

So I am back to work after having a fantastic week off.  It’s really not as bad as I’m making it out to be…I have Wednesday and Thursday off for New Years…so seriously.

So Pete and I took most of last week of to head down to Memphis to spend the Holiday’s with his family.  It was a great week!  We left Saturday morning with Stanley in tow and headed down to Evansville.  We spent the night with Steve and Lindsay (Thanks Guys) and had the opportunity to see my Nephew Rowan, Jess, Andy, Aunt Amanda, Paul, Lora, Chris and Emily. It was fabu to see everyone!   We headed back out Sunday morning to Memphis.  We had beautiful weather.  We arrived in the afternoon to Memphis and Susan and Thomas we extremely excieted to see their Granddog Stanley and kind of happy to see us! LOL  We spend a wonderful Christmas with the family and got an opportunity to see friends and to see Pete’s Grandmother.  So it was wonderful!!!  I love Christmas.

We headed back Saturday morning for the 13…Yes I did say 13 hour drive back to Michigan.  We arrived about 10:30 pm on Saturday, unloaded the rental car and went to bed.  We were both bushed!  Woke up at 5 am to NO POWER.  We had a major windstorm that killed power to many places around Detroit.  Like 55-60 MPH winds.  It was crazy.  It wouldn’t be so bad, except that EVERYTHING in our house is Electric.  Yup Heat – Electric, Water Heater – Electric.  It was nuts.  We got up about 10:30 and got changed and headed out to breakfast, then did some errends.  We got back to house about 3 to find…still no power!  So I hung out on the Couch under 3 blankets with a book…and by 6 was an ice cube.  So we headed out to Mr B’s (Local pub) for dinner.  By the time we got back…WE HAD POWER!  YES!  I could do laundry, turn on any light I wanted to, take a hot shower, and have heat.  Real heat!  It was fabu!

So Today, Pete and I are back to work after a fantastic and pretty much uneventful holiday!  We are heading out tomorrow night to Wolcott, IN to spend NY with Amanda, Chris, Carrie and Miles and some of the folks there.  So that should be fun!  You all have a fantastic time and stay safe New Years Eve!  Miss you!
