Saturday Morning Surprise

We woke up this morning to an unpleasant Saturday Morning Surprise.

Sometime between 12 pm and sleeping in this morning (in 3-4 hour sections) we discovered that we no longer had hot water. :(

Our hot water heater had died. We had someone come and check it out to confirm. And decided to save $300 - $400 bucks by waiting until Monday to have the new one installed. -Don't worry, Caleb has all the hot water he needs. -It's just Mom and Dad that get the icy showers, etc.

Anyway, long story short I am extremely grateful that I did about 6 loads of laundry and a batch of dishes yesterday. That we still have both water and power (stove and microwave for heating dish water, Caleb's bath water, etc.) And definitely grateful for a good sense of humor. :) What an adventure. :)

Just be thankful your not camping outside in the cold weather. Water heaters are not that hard to install and often a new element is all they need. Best of luck with your water. It sure makes one appreciate the little things.

Sometimes we are reminded the hard way of how blessed we are!!!! You will really be "Grateful" when Monday comes. I bet you are loving those "room heaters" today!
Love you all!
