We had a pretty exciting week and a very interesting/awkward
weekend that made us really appreciate the life, friends, and family that we
have. We are so thankful for the gospel and
the good it brings into our lives.
We’ve been wanting to replace our couch. After seven years and 5 rambunctious boys, it’s
getting pretty hammered. I found a
sectional listed on Craigslist that looked like it would work so we made
arrangements to go look at it. When we
pulled up to the house of the address that was given to us there was a cop car
and a bunch of people outside yelling profanities back and forth and then another
cop car pulled up just as one of the officers came out of the house carrying a
big ‘ol gun! Scary! At first we were
ready to just get the heck out of there, but the guy selling the couch came
over and talked to us and told us everything was fine and asked if we could please
stay and look at the sectional- that they were moving it outside for us. Come to
find out, this guy left his wife and family to move in with a lady who ended up
being a little crazy, so he decided to go back to his wife and kids to work
things out. He had moved his stuff in to
the crazy lady’s house and he and his wife were trying to get it all back and
there was some kind of altercation in the process. What a mess!! Why we got stuck right in the middle
of the whole fiasco is beyond me! Why
would they list a couch that wasn’t even in their possession?!? Anyway- long story short, we ended up getting
a really good deal on a really nice sectional that will be perfect for us (too
bad it couldn’t have been minus all the drama that took place leading up to it!)
Oh- and did I mention that when Tyler went to go pick up the couch it was
pouring down rain? Seriously! It hasn’t
rained in like the last 3 months and on the weekend we decide to buy a couch
(and a piano! J)
it ends up down-pouring!! So- the couch
is in our garage and we have an appointment early next week to get it cleaned
and have scotch-guard applied. It will
be so nice to have enough spaces for everyone to sit comfortably J
We also found a piano this week! Everyone’s been having fun
trying it out. It will be good to start
practicing again after like a ten yr. break!
On Thursday I turned the garbage disposal on and the sink
started backing up. I took the drain
apart and there was a bunch of stuff stuck in the pipe so I cleared it out and
put it back together and tried the disposal again. This time the disposal started leaking out
the bottom. Turns out it needed to be
replaced so Tyler tackled that on Saturday and did a great job!
Today, the Gilbert Temple Dedication was broadcast to our
building. Tyler and Jon went to the
first session, and then Taylor and I went to the second. I had never been to a dedication before and
it was pretty neat. The Gilbert temple
is beautiful! Hopefully we’ll get to
visit it someday.
I think that’s it for now.
Hope everyone has a great week!
