Horrible Ice Storm

Luke left Saturday for his great grandpa's funeral in Illinois. It snowed there the whole time. Monday he started driving home. Monday night we got freezing rain. He didn't get home until around 1 a.m. By the time we woke up Tuesday morning we had no power. He drove to Fayetteville to find a generator. They were sold out, but said they would get a shipment later that day. So, he drove back to Fayetteville at 2. The roads were covered with trees. Lowes lost power while he was buying the generator. When he got home he couldn't drive down our driveway because there were so many trees down. So, he walked to the house to get the four wheeler. Our little dog Koko decided she needed to help him. He had to cut a path to get his truck through. As he was cutting more trees were falling all around him. Somehow when he moved his truck he ran over Koko. I am devastated. She was so young and so small. She was so stubborn. I yelled for her to get in the house and she took off down the driveway. He even tried getting her into the truck. She never listened to us. She loved to eat random things. Most of all she loved shredding toilet paper rolls in the laundry room. She was a mess. We loved her very much.

She will be missed.

Last night was very sad.It was also scary. We could hear the ice falling off of the trees. Everytime a limb broke or a tree fell it sounded like a gun shot. I felt like we were in a landmine. We had many trees and limbs hit the house. We made a bed on the floor downstairs. We didn't want the girls in their room because there is a tree leaning on that side of the House. Luckily the girls didn't understand what was going on. They thought it was fun to get to party downstairs.

Here are some photos from the ice damage.
