You know the old saying "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans?" Well, here's a few things that haven't gone according to our plans, but I'm sure no one was laughing at us either. Although this isn't meant to be a complaint fest, I just want to record for ourselves what life is like sometimes. Maybe someday I will laugh at it all. The only thing that is comical is how much can happen all at once!
It started off with Brian wrenching his back while unloading a load to the dump. Then, he was in a hurry to get packed for a scout camp and he left the truck door open while reversing into the garage and almost ripped the door off of his beloved truck. While on his trip I was working on some craft projects in the basement and noticed a leak. The leak turned into a cracked water heater, which ended up flooding our basement and requiring new flooring and all new appliances (water heater, AC, and furnace). We were out of water for a few days and cold water and AC for a week and a half waiting for it all to get fixed. Which although was an expensive and unexpected repair, could have been much less painful if we hadn't purchased the swing set for the kids and the patio furniture and new basketball goal....but that's life's lesson right? Just when you think you have a little spending money- our lesson learned- don't spend it! Something else will inevitably happen when you wished you had that money! And an MRI later, we are still waiting to see what happened to Brian's back which has been causing him enough pain that it hurts to eat.
No pictures with this post! It seems I didn't capture those splendid moments on camera!
