all about bonnie

Well, we’ve been here a little over a month now and have encountered our first snag.  On Tuesday this week I was starting a load of sheets in the washer.  The washer was filling up with water and I decided to brush my teeth (laundry stuff is in our bathroom).  I turned on the faucet and noticed the water pressure was low but figured it was due to the washer filling up.  Then I turned it on again to finish up and no water came out.  I went to the kitchen faucet and no water came out there either.  I had to finish brushing my teeth with bottled water…cold bottled water from the fridge (my mouth didn’t like that).  I called Justin at work and he said he would look at it when he got home.  I was concerned because I hadn’t yet showered for the day (I’m thankful I didn’t decide to shower instead of laundry or I would have been mid shower when the water stopped).  Justin and his coworker Ed came over to assess the situation.  None of the breakers were tripped but there was loss of power for the water pump, garage door opener, a few outlets and lights.  They had to go back to work but Justin put in a claim for our home warranty we luckily have.  The disclaimer said we would hear something within 24 hours.  23 hours later and no shower (having to go to the grocery store to use the bathroom because we are on well water) Justin finally heard from an electrician.   I don’t know all the details but something slipped out of a junction box?  in the attic (very random).  So we are now back to normal. I was so glad the electrician came yesterday and in just enough time for me to shower before church.  Showers feel so good after you haven’t had one in awhile.  Now the electrician is due back sometime to look at some outlet questions we have.  I’m just glad to have water!

Happy Birthday Matt and Brandon! I hope you both have an amazing day.

So we were in Best Buy tonight and Justin says…”oh honey before we leave I need to look at that laptop thing.” And I said, “Laptop thing for the living room? You want me to help you find something to help you be more comfortable while using your laptop in the living room? ;)” and as we were heading that direction I said (in a joking matter), “what if I put my foot down and say no?” and he said, “Then I would tell you how cute you were and do it anyway.”  In the end I won…for now haha.  He didn’t find any he liked. And why were we in Best Buy this lovely Friday night…my sweet husband took me out on a “date”.  We were on a mission.  With a $10 bill we managed to both eat supper and still go to Ritters for some custard with $.63 to spare.  He even opened the door for me 🙂  Best Buy was our entertainment for the evening.  I guess you can call us cheap dates.  It was a great time though 🙂  Thank you Honey!

Today I’m having a pretty good day. Apache (black cat) decided to let us sleep in this morning by not meowing at all hours of the night and morning…so props to Apache. We’ve gotten to be lazy together this morning and were able to call and talk to Debra Conn, one of our friends (we consider family) from Shelby. We haven’t had a chance to really talk to our friends back in NC since we’ve been here. The first week we were simply trying to find everything and then along the way we’ve been painting and just flustered. We hope to truly reconnect with everyone in the coming days so hang in there. It was so nice to talk to Debra. We really do miss talking to her.

Now Justin is heading out to a charity event I believe with Jason Powell to drive BMWs. Sounds like more of a treat to me 😉 I hope they have a great time and don’t wreck any of them. I’m off to Lowes to buy our dining room paint and start rolling the walls now that the priming is mostly done.
