What a couple of weeks we've had! First our computer decided not to power up. The cord won't power it and the battery is dead. We sent it to the computer department at Jeremy's school and they didn't tell us anything we didn't know. We have now ordered a new power cord and are waiting on its arrival from Hong Kong. If it doesn't work, we may have to replace the motherboard! We have some sweet friends who are letting us borrow their old laptop in the meantime. (Thanks Langstons!)
Then last Thursday my old, bestest neighbor Alyson came to visit with her kids Gabriel and Phobe. It had been about 4 months since we had seen each other! After living next door to each other for 3 1/2 years it has been hard not seeing her. It was a really sweet time of fellowship and it also made me appreciate our friendship even more. I also realized I nor my house are not ready for a toddler. In preparation for lunch, I went to open my freezer to get out some chicken and was met with a gush of water. Evidentally my freezer wasn't working. What made me the saddest was that I lost 5 days worth of breastmilk that I had been stockpiling. While Alyson was here we realized that the fridge wasn't cooling anymore either. I called a repairman and he came over within the hour. His dignosis was that the evaporator and the defroster were shot. They recommended not repairing it due to the age of the fridge. At this point, I ran all of my food over to my parents' house to save it. Friday night Jeremy and I went out shopping for a new fridge. We ended up buying one that was a little more expensive because it was in stock while the others would take over a week to get there. We just couldn't wait a week!
Jeremy has also been working on our taxes. It looks like we are going to get back a really BIG return due to being first time homebuyers and new parents. We plan to pay off the car and possible buy a new vaccumm cleaner. This will now put us debt free (ex. the mortage!) and it feels so good! We feel very blessed!
Other than that, I also had some flu bug yesterday but feel better today. Here's hoping we're only looking up from here. :)
