Lights Out!
Last night, we had an incredible lightening storm. To start things out, there was a beautiful sunset with all the bright pinks and oranges and yellows. The clouds were rolling in and lightening was off in the distance. About 10ish, the thunder was getting louder and the lightening was getting closer. Our electricity went out and it was quite dark in our home. Memories?? Oh yes! I have so many memories of sitting in the dark trying to find flashlights or candles down in Ecuador. Lights going out there was a lot more frequent that it is here... AND, it stayed out for long periods of time. I remember going down to my room in the basement in the dark with a small candle hoping that no one would jump out at me...aka, my brothers! haha! Our lights went out here in Medford for 15 minutes or so. We sat on the bed and watched the cool sky with it lightening up all around us. What an amazing sight! Sweet little Isaiah slept through the whole thing! One of these days, Isaiah will be able to enjoy God's cool creation to the fullest!

I love when something triggers a childhood memory! I can't believe how far I am from childhood at this point...even high school. Anyway, those were the good old days. :) Great talking to you Sunday! I'll send my itinerary soon!
