    I don't remember much about that day, I was in preschool, but I do rememeber being picked up by my mom and her quickly driving home. At the time, I didn't understand what was happening.

    Moving to Ely!
    For a long time my parents bought house, fixed them up, and sold them. Until recently, our lives consisted of constantly moving. I've lived in Ely for the longest I've ever lived in a house before. . .five years. I love Ely!
  • Ice Storm/Power Outage

    Ice Storm/Power Outage
    I was home alone with my little cousin at the time. The electricity when out for a day and a half or so and we had to wait until my parents were able to safely get home. (it took about a day or two) It was really scary for me because I had to be the adult in that situation, when in real life I'd be freaking out.

    My grandma and grandpa live in Delhi on the lake. Thank God their house wasn't harmed. Other than a few things they lost, they're lucky to have been on a hill.
