Crazy Snow In Texas

Today feels so weird.  It's hard to describe but it feels like we have lost an entire week.  The days have blurred together a bit.  With the crazy amounts of ice and snow in Texas, power outages, and no water it has been a bit of a mess.  We were without power and water for most of last week.  Thankfully, we were able to spend a few days with nearby friends (who did not lose power or water).  We are home now and have begun the process of getting resettled.  Our city is under a boil water notice.  I'm grateful that we have currently have bottled water to drink.  The stores are eerie to shop at and have a reminiscent feel like the beginning of the pandemic - long lines, out of many items, limits on hard to get items, etc.  I'm so grateful for my family, friends, and fellow Texans.  We seem to have very minimal damage due to the weather and I'm so thankful.  The kids were able to get out a bit and enjoy the unprecedented amount of snow that I have ever seen in my home state.

And of course, we learned to shovel snow.

While the snow is now gone and life is getting back to normal please pray for all of those that need help.  I know all of Texas would appreciate it.  Hope you all are staying safe!
