Last Wednesday I spent the day with my friend Rebecca. I took her some pizza for lunch. Yum! I got to spoil Elisabeth a little bit and had fun catching bugs with Eric Jr. During nap time us girls just sat and talked.
This past weekend, Brian and I went to the Jefferson outlet mall with our friends Josh and Mary. If you can believe it I only spent $6.00 for a shirt at Eddie Bauer's at 80% off. I was a good girl. I mostly disciplined myself because lately I have been wanting to spend my extra money on books. Brian bought 2 pair of pants at Eddie Bauer's. What do you think?
Nah, he really didn't buy these. He just tried them on to see what kind of reaction he would get from me. Everyone in the store was laughing. It was pretty funny! However, I thought they complimented him. Ha! j/k
And here is cute little Matthew in his stroller. He is getting teeth so he is chewing on everything. He is such a good kid!Brian taught Sunday school this week. I thought he did a really fantastic job. He taught from Psalm 77. I think he is gifted at teaching, and he definitely made me a proud wife:)
That afternoon got a little interesting with having hurricane Ike blow through our area. Our power going off and on for a while and at about 2:00 we lost it for good. Church was canceled and thought we could make it the rest of the night with out going out. But I got really hungry and we didn't have any bread so we went out in attempt to find food. It was an absolute mad house every where we went to say the least. There was atleast a million 1/2 people with out power in the state of Ohio/Kentucky. Many are still with out power. That night we drove several places trying to find food. Most places didn't have power, most of the others wouldn't take any more names, Larosa's ran out of cheese we finally got something to eat at sclotzky's but they ran out of bread and all they had left was wraps when we got to the front. They said they were about out of food altogether. It was nuts! Power lines were down everywhere, tree limbs everywhere, many trees had fallen on people's cars and houses. We went to Target to fin double D batteries and the store was almost completely out of batteries and light sources such as flash lights. The gas lines were crazy long, because most were closed and others were running out. It was not fun being out. I will say it again, it was just nuts! When we got home as soon as we opened the door, our lights turned on. Brian and I were very blessed because we didn't even go 24 hours with out electricity when here it is Thursday and many people are still with out it!
We invited Josh and Mary over last night so they could have light, warm showers and internet access. When they got home they called and said their lights came on. Yay! But my in-laws, my pastor, and the family I work for is still with out power.
The bonus for me is I have been off so far this week. Greg and Sarah took the girls to their Grandparents until their power comes back on. So I have been relaxing and reading. I have been out very little. I would rather stay away from the outside world maddness! I sure hope everyone else gets their power back on soon.

I think those pants were brighter in person! Who would ever wear such dress pants?!
I was surprised how good Matthew was. You just never know with a little one if they will cooperate or be miserable and have a meltdown :).
Sunday was nuts for sure. I had to drive home from the shower with all the wind blowing, and I just kept praying that nothing would hit my car or be blocking the roads so i could get home safely. I'd never been so happy to be home.
Hi, we lost power on Sunday but it came back on Monday night. There are still lots of people without in the Louisville, KY area. Maybe if Brian could find a suit coat to match those pants he could work it. . . he'd need some really fancy, shiny shoes as well!
Nice pants, Brian. :) Anyhow, tag you're it again. I have a new post. Love ya lots! Julie
