Prepared?

After returning home from making copies, I found out that we had no electricity when our garage door would not open. Normally, we just use our garage door so we don't have to worry about carrying our house keys. I wasn't too concerned until I went to retrieve our hidden key only to find it missing. So, I sat outside, in our van, watching the snow fall for a few hours until I went to pick up Tiffany, Lindsey & Justin from school. On the drive home, I learned that Justin had buried the key, but he was sure he could dig and find it under the snow & dirt. Right. By the time we returned home, the power was back on. When I got inside, I found our house keys and put one in our hidden spot and one on my keychain. It was a strange feeling being locked out of my own home. Lesson learned.
