Doug left this morning and we were still without power. By the time I went home to get clothes to take a shower, REMC had arrived. Unfortunately, to fix the pole we would have to sacrifice one of our pine trees. I was sad as we had planted those and they provided a great fence to the neighbors yard. Their plan was to work all afternoon and hopefully we would have power by early in the evening.
Meg and I showered at Mom's and then drove to South Bend. She had gift cards to spend and it was the perfect day to do so. We had lunch at Noodles & Company before shopping at Kohl's. While she spent her gift cards we also looked for a dress for semi-formal. She picked out a navy blue one that looked wonderful on her. After Kohl's we headed to the mall. Meg spent all of her money at Hollister and American Eagle, but decided to save her Journey's money until Spring. We stopped at Shoe Carnival on the way home, but did not have any luck finding navy blue shoes.
Dad and Cal spent the day in South Bend as well. They had afternoon tickets for the ND vs. Liberty men's basketball game. The game time was changed, however, so they had an extra couple of hours to kill while waiting. They went to dinner, toured campus and checked out the bookstore. They both had a great time and ND won easily.
Once Meg and I got home we were pleased to find out that we had power!! We picked up our clothes and such from Mom's and everyone headed home. Brett and Cam spent the day there. Brett made headway on his job searches and Cam played the Wii. We talked Doug into going to dinner and stopped at Target on the way. Meg found her blue shoes and the boys found video games and accessories. Dinner was long tonight as it took quite awhile to be seated and to get our food. We had fun, however. Cal was home when we got here and much to our surprise the internet was even working. What a great evening it was!
