WOW what a crazy and busy week it has been.
For those of you who don’t live here and didn’t have to ‘suffer’ through what we did I will share…Tuesday evening it started snowing (yes snowing on April 13) and I thought ‘oh okay it will snow for a bit and then it will stop and melt’ Well by bedtime it still hadn’t stopped snowing and I didn’t think anything of it.

Well we woke up to like 8 inches of snow covering everything on Wednesday.
The road reports all said poor driving conditions and apparently most of South and North Lethbridge had lost power overnight. We still had power Wednesday morning. My work called and told me to call them back when I knew what was happening on my end. We I tried calling them back like 15 min later only to have the phone ring and ring and ring (I had totally forgotten that landlines run on power…silly me) Well finally someone from work called me at like 9:30 from their cell phone to tell me they still didn’t have power and to not bother coming into work…so I didn’t. YEAH SNOW DAY!!! I was happy until about 30 min later when we lost power :( which means no TV, no internet and no Wii. So what did we do…we brought out one of our puzzles from Christmas and worked away on that. Nice and relaxing! Josh also went outside and played with Molly in the snow for a bit and then we all took and nice long nap…under lots of blankets because the furnace runs on power too and our house was 16 degrees by the time the power came back on at 4:30. What a crazy day!
When we went back to work on Thursday that just meant we were one day closer to the weekend! And boy was our weekend busy! Friday night we ended up having drinks with some of our neighbors and we all ended up at the local bar (aka hole in the ground) and needless to say the night was a little more than we bargained for…we ended up walking home, lucky it is only like 15 blocks from our house and most of the snow had melted by then.
Saturday and Sunday we decided to push ourselves and get the garage painted. I am proud to say that we succeeded!! We cleaned the entire garage, organized what is in there so we could move the ladder around and masked off the windows, doors and electrical panel. My DH had borrowed a spray gun from work and that made it much faster to get the painting done. It still took a total of over 6 hours to prime and paint, but I am sure that it was faster than rolling!
Sunday afternoon was so beautiful…a stark contrast to Wednesday. We went to Stafford Lake to visit with family and to move my parents boat lift before any more water was let into the lake. All went well and we all had some good food and soaked up lots of sunshine.
All in all it was a great week/weekend!
