The power went out today at our house. It has been raining cats and dogs for few days (spring in Canada) so I guess it is no wonder that the icy rain was too much for the power lines. I was in the middle of a Skype conversation when that happened. Being without the power for just an hour made me think of how thankful I am for the technology that we have today. Back home I could totally take some breaks from especially my iPhone but when you are this far from your loved ones it is just amazing that you can share your everyday life with them and talk to them almost every single day. Surely makes it feel like there even wasn't an ocean between us. 
Other than that we actually had nice time waiting for the power to get back. We collected all our candles together and Sara and Jesse brought their guitars for a little jam. We didn't know how long it will last and I already made sure that if the power does not come back before the night I could have a sleepover with one of the girls. But it did and now it's a normal night again with everyone working on their own school things on their laptops.
