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...

Broken.

Life really *isn't* very good right now. I can't handle ANYTHING.

Swimming...

Last night was the ward pool party. River was afraid of the water at first. Then she got used to it and enjoyed it. She didn't want to leave. Frankly, I didn't either. I was so enjoying how much relief I felt from it. I dunno, it was the first really fun thing I have done in months. I even went down the tube water slide.

Right now I am listening to River screaming at the top of her lungs because she doesn't want to take a nap. I wish I could gain the strength to do something about these feelings...I am just done.

The dog days...

I have been feeling completely blah the last few days. No motivation, no excitement, no ability to be pleasant and happy. It's really frustrating. I just want to get happy! I want to be comfortable! This weekend is supposed to be baking hot, 100 degree weather. Joy. We are going camping at Willard Bay. It should be decent. I can't sleep comfortably in my own bed, so it won't matter if I am in the trailer or not.

I hung all the pictures! I'm happy I did, though my house almost looks cluttered with all the photographs on the walls. Oh well, it's my artwork too...I think I might get some colored fabric to put up with my drapes to tie the pillows and the colored photos in a bit more. It is just too black and brown in there right now.

We started on the Trek video. We did the credits and are working on the "trailsides" and bloopers. It took a while to get everything organized (3 weeks) and now I only have about 2 weeks before I'm hoping Molly will be born...so, I hope to accomplish something or other. I keep feeling like I just won't be able to do much of anything. :-/ Which makes me feel a bit guilty. Oh well again.

I'm just trying to be cheerful...

Happy Birthday River!

What a day...

I got up and cooked for about 3 hours this morning. It was super hot out today, so I needed to get it all done in the morning. I made a birthday cake, potato salad, and baked bean casserole. Then I cut up watermelon, shucked corn, and decorated the cake. I was pretty tired after that. We ate lunch and went to church. I started to fall asleep really bad so we came home and River and I took a nap. :-) That was nice. Then the Sharps got here about 5:15ish. They had to leave at about 6:15...so, we ate really fast, opened presents, and then sang "happy birthday" and River blew out her candle. They had another birthday to go to and they were showing their rental house. It was a rush, but at least someone was able to come.

We are now just sitting and watching Toy Story 2 and Deric is editing some of the Trek video the credits section, we just got the footage last night. So, for the next couple weeks we will be devoting a lot of time to that (until Molly gets here).

Tomorrow I am going to have brunch with Sister McCarthy (yes, David's mom). She is in Kaysville visiting someone so I told her we should get together. So, that should be interesting.
