The week before my girls' trip to Boji, we had our carpet replaced. We've lived here 16 years and things are beginning to wear out. We had to move everything out of the bedrooms, closets, and bonus room, so I left town with my house upside down. The week we ordered new carpet, our roof started to leak. We had 3 places on our roof that needed major repair. So we had our roof repaired the same week we got our carpet replaced. The day I returned from my trip I was prepared to dive in the mess I left and put everything back. What I wasn't prepared for was the hot water heater breaking and leaking all over the garage, and my refrigerator going out the same day. When it rains it pours! I know, these are all 3rd world problems, but when everything calapses at once, it can be a bit overwhelming. On the bright side, Tyler's a plumber, so he was able to help us install a new hot water heater, which saved us a bundle!
We're taking our time going through everything and having a little bit of fun sifting through all the stuff we've accumulated over the years. Even shedding a few tears here and there as we say goodbye to some things. I've lost count of how many trips to the goodwill and the dump that we've made. Keith cleaned out 1/4 of the garage today and it took him all day. This will be an ongoing project this year, but we are gonna go through every drawer, cabinet, closet, garage, attic, and clean out!
