Fridge woes.

We went camping last night. Spent a nice evening at Willard Bay. It was realllly hot! One hundred degrees this weekend. We went and got a movie; "Bedtime Stories" with Adam Sandler. It wasn't too bad, cheesy, but okay. We got food from Sonic. It was tasty. Then we slept. When we woke up today I spent some time cleaning the trailer and Deric took apart the switch in the dashboard to see why our vents don't work in the truck. (We bought it with the air only coming out of the defroster.) He fixed it by cleaning the pieces! So, he saved us about $300 by not taking it "in" to get looked at and fixed. We decided to come home about 1:00 because we thought we could get a bunch of stuff done at the house we were needing to do. When we got home we found our fridge had stopped working and our freezer was defrosted. YAY. We replaced a part that had gone out in it about 3 1/2 months ago, we are sure it is the same problem. (If we are lucky, they will take back the part and reimburse us for it.) So, we took everything out, put it in the freezer and little fridge downstairs, out in the trailer's fridge, and then took some food across the street to our neighbor's fridge. Then we searched online to see what we wanted. We found it, headed to Home Depot...and they didn't have it in stock. Plus, it would be about 7 days before it would be delivered. :-P Good news though, was all the energy star appliances are 10% off right now and we get a $20 rebate from our power company. Woohoo. They didn't have one of the one we wanted to see there, so we had to go to RC Willey. There they had the same exact fridge, same price, even with the 10% off and they had it in stock in their Salt Lake warehouse which we could go pick up from. SO...we opted to go with that so we would have a fridge. So, he went and got it, brought it home, and we had like 4 guys from our ward come over and help us bring it in. So, here we have a brand new fridge. It is one of the ones with the freezer on the bottom. It has an ice maker that you can change the cube size. An "alarm" for if it is accidentally left open. It is bigger than our old one, so it will last us with more kids to feed.

All in all, it's nice to have new things...but it would have been nice not to *have* to get it right now. Esentially, the money we saved up by putting the money from the couches into another cd is eaten up...so we won't have the $1000 in a savings acct in the end. :-( Sad, but, at least we have a means of paying for it. We are always taken care of. :)

I got my bulk spices order: taco seasoning and vanilla powder. That's cool.

I am nearly done with putting Deric's junk in tupperware downstairs. :-) Yay!

I probably have a little over a week until Molly is here! Wow...
