what to post what to post

well nothing much is going on here really.
we seem to have a knack for buying dud appliances lately, the dryer has to be run 3-4 times to dry the clothes and if i leave it too long before turning it on again it starts to smell which means..back into the washing machine which requires like 4 extra rinse cycles to get the soap out of the clothes. then we bought a second lawnmower as it came with a bunch of attachments. each would cost as much as we paid for the whole lot including the mower. we got it home not even 5 mins later the belt snaps. then yesterday we take out the other one(first mower we bought) to take photos of itso we can sell it and guess what it wont start. yes fun. then we are putting the accessories for the new mower away (dozer blade rototiller plow etc etc) and we discover a big soapy?? puddle in our basement garage...soapy you say yes soapy. we then discover the source. a pipe with a corner join thingy in it also had a space for a pipe to join from the top but since no pipe was joined there...yes dear reader no cap was on it so the water from the washing machine(the one that requires excessive rinses...) was just spilling onto the floor....

true there is a lot to be done to the house and the little things are annoying but all in all it is still worth way more than we paid for it and is going to be awesome when we are done with it....we just have to get our tools to work so we can -you know- get to work!!!!!
other than that we are getting on well in our new ward the age range is similar to the last ward lots of older but a few more middle??? young??? couples etc

thats all!

It sounds like there's no way to go but up! This will be a fun story to tell in the future. Good luck with getting everything to work, though!

Wow! I guess maybe HF is worried your life would be too boring if He intervened too much! LOL! Congratulations on buying a home! That's exciting! Matt always gives Ben GREAT computer advice ... so give Ben a ring if Matt needs any appliance advice. Ben has saved a few of Sara's and our own appliances from the junkyard!

I hate appliances sometimes and yet we can't live without them. Our dryer has to cool down before you can put another load in so it takes me about 2-3 days to finish the laundry. grrr.
