Back to reality.....

So, for the last 2 weeks our church building has had no power. We couldn't meet there or have weekly activities for 2 weeks. We met at the stake center with the 2nd ward for Sacrament Meeting and then we were...justifiably...with permission...even encouraged...

to go home!!! 

Isn't that totally awesome! We ALL loved it!!! Don't get me wrong I do enjoy church but it sometimes feels more emotionally and physically exhausting than it's worth wrestling 4 kids and all. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that way. And sometimes I dread it like crazy so having a nice little break was great.  The super nice bishop of the 2nd ward invited us to stay for all the meetings. But our bishop said we could go home so we did!!!! The other ward's members were very welcoming and kind to us and we appreciate them letting us steal their designated pews for 2 weeks! But now...sadly...it's back to reality for us. Our ward building has power again. It sure was nice while it lasted though!!!
