Where did it go
Just sitting here in the dark waiting for the power to come back on. It's been out for 36 minutes so far. I hope it comes back on before "the office" comes on. Did you know our TV comes right back on after the power comes on? It has bumped on a couple of times and it makes me jump because the smoke alarm beeps and some other creepy noise is made in here somewhere. Never had this problem in Lewisville. Too many overhead power lines out here. Something else weird, the street lights don't go out. Uh, I take that back. Not all the street lights go out. Mom is at a relief society meeting somewhere and I hope they have power wherever they are at. I guess I'll turn on Hulu and just watch till the power runs out on the laptop. 40 minutes now. :)

General conference
All of the sweets were gone by just two people. We also ate 1 year 72 hour kit food. It was ok, but I wouldn't recommend it. We should probably change that stuff out every 6 months. Even chewing gum doesn't last too long.

Color Question and The Moral to the Story
Before and after photos of the kitchen - baked clay then warmed peach. Which do you prefer? Mom - neither. Dad - warmed peach is awesome! (the pics don't really give you a good idear, please come and see)
Among the inspirations we've had to pay off debt, the one below from President Hinckley is one of our favorites.
"One of the happiest days in the life of President Joseph F. Smith was the day the Church paid off its long-standing indebtedness.
What a wonderful feeling it is to be free of debt, to have a little money against a day of emergency put away where it can be retrieved when necessary.
President Faust would not tell you this himself. Perhaps I can tell it, and he can take it out on me afterward. He had a mortgage on his home drawing 4 percent interest. Many people would have told him he was foolish to pay off that mortgage when it carried so low a rate of interest. But the first opportunity he had to acquire some means, he and his wife determined they would pay off their mortgage. He has been free of debt since that day. That’s why he wears a smile on his face, and that’s why he whistles while he works."
Gordon B. Hinckley, “To the Boys and to the Men,” Ensign, Nov 1998, 51.
