Coming soon...and...

This week I will blog about Craig's Builders For Christ trip, I actually should have him write about it...hmmm... and post pictures that he sent me during his week...
Thank goodness he came home last night BECAUSE... The kids and I were at church for a preschool campout event... we left around 10:30 since we were not planning on spending the night and I was just slam worn out. There had been a storm in the area that caused the lights in the church to go out...no biggie, the kids loved it... Well, on my way home I could tell the storm had gotten pretty bad, debris was all over the road, trees down etc. THe lights were working along highway 280 so I was feeling good, surely they would be on at home! We went up the mountain, as we call it, and turned into Greystone Farms and DARKNESS surrounded us... NO POWER... and then it hit me, we can not get into our house! The garage door won't open, and I do not have a key to the house. OH sNAP!!! So as we drive into the drive way I call Craig. His plane has just landed and he reminds me that there is a key in the box in our secret spot... soooo I go and trudge through the rain and mud to get the key... but...NO KEY!!! Duh, it must be in the lock box on the front door!! oh DOUBLE SNAP!!! so the kids start getting worried and so do I... I call Craig back and he is like "what am I supposed to do, just wait until I get home" that will be at least an hour, since he has to take a friend home too. Soooo we headed back to church!! Thank the Lord they were having the camp-out. So we went back to church and hung out with Mr. David and Molly and the others in the dark until daddy met us there.. We threw ourselves into the bed at midnight!!! (all of us in our room, and as Ben would say "Nice and Comfy") SO, thank goodness Craig came home last night!!! :)
