Restored!

Two empty boxes of candles and four empty box of matches. (Matches are difficult for Crystal.) Depleted cell phone battery warning beeps. Laptop computers lying around gathering dust. Scattered decks of cards. One big novel finished. Dried wax on the floor. (My bad.) Roommates congregating in the living room sitting in silence out of boredom. We’ve organized every drawer and closet. We’ve played every card game. I just got finished sharing my most embarrassing moment…from middle school.

We’ve been without electricity for over 48 hours! Usually power outages only last around 12 hours and don’t occur when the most important news from back home is being reported!

Alas! Our joy has been restored! The power is back! I knew you would want to share in this happy celebration – so go take a really cold shower, cook dinner by candle light then you too might know the elation we felt when we could finally blow out the last candle! It is the small things that become the big things.

JUBILATION!!
