Winter Adventures in Idaho

On Thursday of last week, I got home from work at about 7:30 and was just sitting down to watch T.V. while I waited for Brad to get done with his last final at 8:30 and the lights dimmed and then all the power went out. I thought it was just in my house but I opened the door and the whole street was out. So Luckily I have a lot of candles, I think I ended up lighting about 30 candles. This is the coffee table I had about 7 or 8 candles on it, all the big ones and one that had 3 wicks. This is the room with the flash. It started getting cold so I had to pull out the big blankets!

This is my favorite part of my holiday decoration, it looks so cute but this is what it looked like when all the lights were out. I had the house so lit up from all the candles when Brad pulled up he thought we had power back.
Here it is all lit up. The stockings were made by Linda and the cute JOY blocks were made by Ashley for our sister presents! But I put the candles up and it looks pretty cute, just minus the mess! It's all of our games and movies!

This is the dining room! It's my wall art that had candles already on it! It was kind of fun to light all my candles but I had to light them all because I was kind of freaked out being by myself. Brad was in him last final and they were doing presentations, Brad ended up having to do his groups on a laptop and in the dark but he did well and his teacher was very understanding, he even gave them the option to not do it! He got home and we decided to go to Idaho Falls for dinner since power was out from Rigby all the way up to Teton. Which if you were driving is like a 2 hour stretch! When we got home at 11:15 the power was on. It was slightly scary but once Brad got home it was fun to go out and spend some away time together!
