I HEART ELECTRICITY!! please stay on....

UGH, WHAT A DAY!!!
First & foremost, I would like to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to HEATHER KOHLER for being my only "blogger" friend & ONLY Fort Smith family member to be so kind to offer us shelter from the storm. It brings a tear to my eye....(I'm not sure if it's because I'm so touched by your generosity or because you're the only one who cares). Regardless, the tears are present. Heart you HK! :)
Where was I....? As I reported earlier, our power went out at 2 a.m. this morning. I went to work most of the day, worrying constantly what I was going to do & where Dylan & I were going to stay. My parents both called worrying about us (although their weather is much worse than ours) & my dad even offered to drive down here & take us home with him or put us up in a hotel....SO SWEET! My boss, Debbie Lashley, insisted that Dylan & I stay with her. She could detect a damsel in distress...not to mention she loves us! :) I packed our bags & we were ready for the slumber party. Since Debbie was still at work, we headed to Target to roam around (for hours) since we had nowhere else to go. While we were shopping, I got a phone call saying that our power had finally came back on. Dylan was a little disappointed we weren't going to Lash's house, but once we got home, we were both so relieved to be here!
Thank you to all my friends & co-workers that offered to take us in. It really & truly means so much!! I love you all! I know a lot of people were & are without power & my heart goes out to you all....IT SUCKS!! And speaking of sucking, why must Ryan be at the fire station every time we are without power?? Remember how Dylan & I spent Christmas day? All alone & in the dark.... Seriously, this must stop. Come on mother nature, work with me!
Who knows what tonight's weather will bring...Everyone stay warm & be safe!!
**Ami & Rachel (my sistas), I hope you get your power back on soon...
We're thinking about you**

I am so glad you guys are going to be warm and toasty tonight. I am giving a shout out to all your wonderful peeps who offered you a snugly place to lie your head for the night. (Yes, this does include me.) For those of you would didn't, "Shame, shame, you know your name!" If anything happens during the night you girls and Meatball are more than welcome. Maybe Meatball could teach Marley a thing or two about doggy manners.
