Winter Storm

On January 27th, a winter storm hit the midwest, knocking out the power lines across Kentucky. We lost power at 1pm and it's still out. We found an old kerosene heater and it worked. We bought 2 gal of kerosene on Tuesday, before all the gas stations closed and people started getting desperate. We finally ran out on Thursday, and decided we were going home. The only problem we had was that we only had a little under 1/2 tank of gas to drive as far as we could. It was close. The power outages affected everything north, all the way up to Evansville.

We're back home in Indiana for now, but have to leave tomorrow. I have to be back at work on Wednesday. We're so close to moving back! I'm only going back to work to earn some extra money over the next few weeks. I'm coming up here for a job interview on the 11th, so going back there tomorrow isn't so bad. I know I'll be back home in Indiana soon. It's just now starting to sink in that I'm actually going to have to move all my stuff back here again. But that's okay, moving back is worth it. I learned from my mistake. A lot of good came out of the whole experience.

As soon as I get settled in, I'm going to make a difference here. I am proud to be from Indiana and I want to do my part to make it a better place. Words cannot express how relieved I am that it's almost over.
