Today we took our nieces Torrie and Jossie to church with us. Torrie is starting college at Iowa State and we wanted her to know about Cornerstone and the college ministry, Salt. I think they were really encouraged by the people and service. After we went to Old Chicago and had pizza with them. My parents had the boys and brought them to us and we all had lunch together. This late in March last year we were experiencing record breaking warm weather in the 70's. You don't expect to have snowstorms. We thought we were finished with the snow, but it has been an interesting month. There was a winter advisory for this afternoon. It was kid of a drizzly rain morning and they expected things to freeze later in the afternoon. Well, we got much more than that. As we headed home, it was starting to snow a little just a few miles from home. The girls got home fine and it continued snowing. It was a thick heavy snow with everything already wet, there was a lot of ice. That combination made the power lines sag leading to flickering power. I had 6 flickers before we lost all power. Just enough time to fill buckets and the bath tub. Mark had us quickly pack our bags and we all headed for Karen and Orrie's. The roads were heavy with deep snow and it was getting nasty out. We got to their house just before dark. Luke was feeling sick and I could tell he had a fever. As the night went on he just wanted to lay around and didn't eat anything. I gave him a bath and put him to bed at 8:00. Mark slept in a bedroom with Jacob and Jayden and I slept in a bed with luke on the floor close by. We could hear the wind howling outside as it blew.
