THE ELECTRICITY IS BACK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This glorious occurrence happened around 6:00 this evening, just a little over 24 hours from the time the Little Lady and I came back to Houston. We were so excited we danced, squealed “Yay,” and “high-five’d” each other over and over. Ok, so the Little Lady had NO clue what was going on but she knew that Mama was definitely happy!

I don’t know how Hubby did the no-electricity thing for two weeks; it was hard to endure for only 24 hours! I’m so glad that we girls were able to spend our 2 weeks with family.

From the state of the house, it definitely wasn’t fun or easy. Hubby had candles, lanterns, matches, paper plates, bottled water, and shot gun bullets EVERYWHERE! Nothing had been picked up or cleaned the entire time we were in San Antonio. I had to bite my lip when I walked in and saw all the chaos. I guess no electricity is an acceptable excuse for not cleaning . . . I guess.

It looks like my little sister did an amazing job of keeping this ol’ blog alive while I was away. THANK YOU, HANNAH!!!!!!!! She did a great job, didn’t she? Thank you for lining up the guest posters and posting your own topics. . . although, there were definitely a couple of pics that should have STAYED HIDDEN!!!!!!

It’s going to take me awhile to return the hundreds of comments that were left, but I will get that done over the next couple of days!! In the meantime, I want everyone to know that I GREATLY appreciate all of the thoughts, prayers, and encouragement that came our way. It really meant a lot!!!!

Good night — I’m off to enjoy my nice and cool A/C!
