Matt's Truck Was Where???

Christmas shopping went well yesterday. We went from barely started to "almost" done. We got darn lucky and ended up getting several great buys. I can't post them or everyone would know what they got for Christmas. ;)

We didn't get home until after 10:30. Jacob's friend Matt called and said he was going to stop by the house and we said ok. He got there before we did and we came home to his truck in our pond! Not only was he in the pond he had hit a tree and his bumper was tangled to the tree and his wheels were in the pond. I'm guessing he took me too literally when I told him he needed to drive fast to make it across the mud. I didn't mean slide around the corner doing 100mph! So anyway he stayed until around 2:30am visiting. He had to come back today to get his truck out. Luckily my father-in-law was able to pull him out today with the tractor. Sure wish I had gotten a picture for my blog.

Not only did we have to deal with Matt's truck in the mud but when we got home our electricity was out! I made sure the first thing I did was call up the electric company. Luckily it wasn't our for about an hour but that was long enough if you ask me. I'd call to report my power out just for the simple fact that I'm irritated with the power company but there are other reasons to report power outages. I saw on the news not long ago that most companies base who gets fixed first by call volume. I guess he who complains the loudest gets service first... I shouldn't have much problem with that! :)

I sure was tired this morning getting up for work. My friend Jeni and Eddie came for dinner tonight and to see our new home. I've been friends with Jeni since the 7th grade and this was the first time we've ever had her and her husband over for dinner. It was nice to have them.

4 Days until Christmas!!
