FedEx arrived this morning!!!!

We had a horrible windstorm Tuesday night through early Wednesday morning. School was cancelled Wednesday for the entire city and our military base was closed! As of right now some people are still without power and 3 elementary schools are running in generators!

Our house and trees made it through but my (Dawn) nerves were FRIED!!! After making it through the entire storm with electricity it went out yesterday morning and was out most of the day! Ellie and Logan were super bummed as they could not play Xbox!!!!

I suspected our FedEx box might not make it yesterday and I was right! Many flights were diverted and many businesses were closed! It was CRAZY!!!

Ellie was so excited to get the box! She couldn't stand it and had to wear the sweatshirt to school today! I was completely fine with it!!!

Have a great day and remember what is truly important!
