The Night From Heck

Last night I got really angry! So angry! Our power goes out allllll the time. I swear maybe 3 times this month. And ok some of those times are from storms, but last night I had it. It was not stormy at my house. I could see lightening...but nothing. All around us you could see stormy weather. But we had no wind, no tiny rain drops. Just the smell that something might be coming. My rude neighbor said we had a slight dust storm...not enough to make the whole neighborhood go out lady! So I called SRP. And she made me turn my braker off and check and nothing happened. Then my phone died so I have NO contact with anyone. Thankfully I had already talked to Kurtis so he knew that he wouldn't be able to get ahold of me. Kurtis told me to go to my moms and by the time I thought I would because it was getting so hot in my house...I couldn't. Wanna know why? The power was out and my car was in the garage!!! Nice. How the heck was I supposed to be able to climb on my car and pull some lever to manually open it. Not going to happen. Then some friends came over at like 8:30pm I had candles lite all over the house and I couldn't see through the peep hole so I took a chance and opened the door, saw this dog and freaked, but then I saw their faces and I knew them. They kept me company until Kurtis got home. Its nice having friends in the neighborhood. We are actually starting to get to know people in our ward. Its hard when you are tucked away and forgotten about in Primary. Its no fair. We were in the ward a month or two then we were called and now we don't really know anyone over the age of 4. But Its ok. We now know two couples and they are pretty great. We are going to dinner with The Millers tonight at Olive Garden. I love that place. Yummy bread sticks and Alfredo sauce. YUM!

At around midnight last night we did get a horrible phone call that we knew we would get but didn't know when. It was just a matter of time. Kurtis' great aunt died last night. He is trying to take it as well as possible but its very hard for me to let go of her. She was such a big part of his life...when she lived here in Arizona. She has lived in California for the past 2-3 years and that is when she started going down hill. She couldn't communicate anymore and was completely dependent. Suely Ray. She was in her 50's, which for a woman with downsyndrome means her body was in her 80's. The next couple of weeks are going to be really rough. We just had a death on the other side and now one more. She was an amazingly happy girl. I will always remember her for her free spirit and smiles.

We Love You Sue!
