Warmth...we are so thankful!!!

Last night in the middle of the night I woke up freeing and knew that it had happened. We had run out of oil a day early. I had called our oil company and scheduled an appointment for them to fill us up on Wednesday, but we ran out earlier than we thought we would! I got up and turned on the radiator heaters, put hats on the kids while they were sleeping, and we made it through the night. Thankfully, I called the oil company this morning and they agreed to come out today instead of tomorrow. I was so happy when that oil truck pulled in our driveway that I think I startled the driver with my excitement. This morning, since we knew we'd need to be out of the house to stay warm until he got here, we went up to Hickory and got to see some snow (it missed us!) and Noah got to spend his birthday giftcard to get a new leapster game. It was a crazy night and morning, but I sit here so thankful that we have the fire going again! We have so much to be thankful for and I take it for granted too often that we have a home with heat and a car that can get us out of the house if we need it! What are you thankful for today?
