So I told you to hold tight until I explained it all... so here are the details:
1. Broken down boat/Weekend in Texas - So this last weekend we had the amazing opportunity to go to Dallas and visit our family. Josh's mom's family had a reunion out there and it was soooo great to see everyone! I didn't take pictures (I'm an idiot), but many others did and we did get a disk, so I'll post those later. We had a great weekend full of family, food, fun, swimming, karaoking, and just enjoying everyone's company.
Josh's parents live on a lake so we were able to go boating, wakeboarding and tubing all weekend! For those who know me well enough, know I am scared of lake water because I'm afraid of like fish and seaweed and things under the water that I can not see. Luckily I wasn't a wimp this weekend (well, as much as normal) and I got in and swam and went tubing! I was proud of myself, haha.
So the last day we went out boating, there were about 10 of us on the boat, including nieces/nephews. I was out tubing with a couple of the nieces when all of a sudden the boat hit something in the water! We stopped the boat and since I was in the tube, I didn't know anything really happened, I heard something, but didn't think anything of it. Well all of a sudden the boat started filling up with water and we were sinking!! AHHH!!
We were lucky there was a boat relatively close that saw us waving and screaming and they came over, loaded us up on their boat and brought us back into the marina, where Josh and his dad were able to get it out of the water and onto their trailer. Thank goodness. If we had been out there longer or those people wouldn't have been near by, we could've sunk all the way. Everyone was fine though and we all had life jackets so it was ok. And also, they have insurance on the boat, so luckily they will be able to get it fixed.
We still don't know what it was we hit, we didn't really have time to go figure it out :)
2. Our fridge broke - ugh!! So Josh and I got home Monday evening and Josh went in the fridge to get a drink and he goes, "Our fridge is hot!" and I'm like, "WHAT?!" So turns out, the compressor on our refrigerator busted (which is like what makes it run) and ALL of our food was spoiled. Unfortunately since it happened over the weekend we didn't have time to salvage any food. It was all ruined. I think I was able to save the garlic, that's it, haha. Because not only was it not cooling but it was like HOT in there, like I'm thinking over 90 degrees practically.
So long story short, we thought about just getting a new fridge because it's going to cost so much to fix, but after we buy a fridge, then tax and delivery we're looking at around $900+, so I'd rather spend the $550 to fix it and not worry about the hassle of moving a fridge in and out because they have to go up and down stairs. Which is why we're avoiding craigslist/ksl. So, thank goodness the appliance repairman can come out today, because he almost couldn't and we would've had to wait until Tuesday. So we're lucky.
The other sucky thing is the fridge is 5 1/2 years old and the warranty that covers this part was only for 5 years. So it broke 6 months too late :( You live and learn right?! Another thing we've had to eat out every day, I didnt' realize you can hardly make anything without needing like milk, or butter, or something that you keep refrigerated. Anyways, enough being sad about it, at least I haven't had to cook!!!
