It has been chilly here in St. Louis over the past few days. This morning it was 1 degree with the windchill outside. Inside our home it was a "cozy" 52 degrees. Cozy??! Not so much! Our heat had stopped working! Of course, it decided to stop working on some of the coldest days since we have lived here. The maintenance guys solved one part of the problem yesterday by fixing the main unit in the basement. However, heat was only coming out of 2 of the 8 registers in our house. Brrrr! So last night we just needed to buck up and bear it until they could come again today. Needless to say, Trev and I slept in sweats and sweatshirts with our down comforter, as well as two extra blankets over us to keep us warm. Baby Belle slept in her fleece sleeper and two thick blankets covering her. In addition to that, she was sporting a pair of mittens to keep her hands from turning purple and a hat to keep her head warm. What a trooper!

The maintenance men came back today and worked for five straight hours and finally had success! All the registers are working again! Our heat is making its slow climb back to a normal temperature. It's quite exciting! It is almost at 62 degrees, woo hoo! Maybe I won't have to wear long underwear and three layers of shirts in my own home to keep warm. I am truly thankful that we have heat again. It did lead me to think about those who don't ever have heat in their homes, or who have no homes at all to shelter them from the cold. Remembering that kept me from complaining. We should all remember to keep them in our prayers and do all that we can to help them. May the Lord bless all of you today!
