Moving Part 2....

So once again I will not be posting any pictures of Isaac, but I thought I should update the happenings in our new apartment.  I think I mentioned before that everything is a little older here than in our other apartment....really what I am saying is that our first week in the new place has been eventful.  The first day we moved in (last Monday), we used our toilet once and it began to overflow, everywhere!  No big deal right?  We bought a plunger and fixed it.  No sweat.  On Tuesday, we got our washer and dryer and installed them.  Well I turned on the water and it began leaking water out of the top where the hoses screw into the wall.  Okay, so no laundry that day.  Wednesday morning, Kory and I showered in lukewarm water.  Our pilot light went out, so we waited to get it fixed before my mom got the chance to shower. On Thursday morning, Isaac had a blow out!  Poop everywhere, down his leg, on his foot, so I go in to give him a bath, and I discover NO HOT WATER!  In my panic to clean off my kid, who happened to be standing with only his shirt on in the bathroom, I called the neighbors to see if we could use their tub.  Good old Amber and Nick, who are so kind, were unfortunately using their shower, so I had to run across the way to Becky's house.  Poor little Isaac's dirty bum hanging out as I sprint to clean him off.   The hot water heater was fixed later that night and all seemed to be going in the right direction once again.  On Friday I fixed the hoses from the washer to the wall.  Yeah, go me! All is well, right?  Haha, in my sweet dreams.  I started filling the washer in order to do some laundry.  I left the laundry room and came back, looked down at my feet and noticed that there was water all over the ground.  Someone, not sure who, had decided to disconnect the draining hose from the bottom of the washer, so we had a huge leak.  Lovely, I cleaned up the mess and took about an hour to figure out how to connect the hose to the washer.  I had to borrow a tool from Becky and was able to come out with a victory.  All is well.  I did some laundry and enjoyed myself playing outside with the kids.  Well on Saturday we went to Snowbird and stayed until Sunday night.  Monday morning, back at the apartment, our hot water is not working AGAIN.  So no shower for Kory or I...last night they come over to fix it, and this morning, Tuesday, no hot water....need I say AGAIN?!!!  So no shower....Kory sponge bathed and went off to school.  Neither of us having showered since Saturday.  WOW.  So this evening they came over to fix the water heater, let's hope it works this time, or else I might just break the contract and move.  J/K.  Seriously though, it has been an unforgettable week in our new place.
