FLOOD!!

So, it wasn't really a flood but we did have a back up in our outside drain. We noticed water building up when we were doing dishes but didn't think anything of it. A couple of hours later, we looked outside and it was almost in our door!!
( Of course, I thought about taking pictures until we were almost done...so this is the water halfway down already.)

So, Cody being the man of the house, put on his waders ( or whatever you call them) and went out to unclog it. We got it down a little but it was still basically the same. So in came the bucket.

As you can see, the water was gross and black and smelled horrible! We didn't know what else to do so we went and told our landlords ( John is a plumber) but he wasn't home. Poor guy got home at 4 am and went out to try and fix it.

Well, he couldn't figure it out either so they had to call Roto-Rooter the next day. Ha! A plumber with Roto-Rooter in their driveway. Well, needless to say we felt really bad but thanks for getting it fixed for us Katie and John!!

Funny Stuff!

I just thought that this was hilarious!

Done (?)

So, I finally finished ( I hate interuptions, they put me behind schedule..) and I'm not sure how I feel about the book. It was totally and completely different than what I expected.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the book and how it ended (kind of) but I felt like it was almost too unbelievable in places.... what do you think?

ps. it also gives me unrealistic expectations about men and romance. (even though I am married) *sigh* It also makes me obsessive... I can't stop thinking about Bella and Edward for months afterward. Poor Cody can never get a real, nonbook conversation out of me...

Books, Tips and Trips...

We just got back from a weekend of camping up at Marsh Lake and we're sad to be home! It was so fun, we loved it! But we had to get back to the real world today because Cody starts his new job!! He was really nervous this morning but I know he'll do great.

Marsh lake is so pretty! We fished(I caught four), looked at the stars with Nate's telescope, ate delicious food (thanks mom!) and kayaked. The first day that we were there, Cody and I went out fishing in the canoe. The fishing wasn't that great so we decided to go back up to camp. Well, on our way in we accidentally tipped the canoe!! Cody was paddling ( is that what you do when canoeing?) and I turned/leaned to talk to him and we happened to be leaning the same way, and splash! The water was FREEZING! Cody's dad and brother were out there with us so Logan grabbed the rope on the end of the canoe and pulled us to shore. We ended up losing two fishing poles (sorry!) but that was it. Thank goodness! Cody kept telling me to swim to shore, but I couldn't move because the water was so cold! So I just hung on to the canoe and Logan did all the work. Thanks! I found out later that there are leeches and water spiders in the lake. Good thing I didn't know that before or I would've been histarical! But it was a fun day and a way fun trip. Thanks for inviting us!

Okay, I want to read Breaking Dawn so bad, but I pre-ordered from Amazon and I found out today that I won't get the book until the 9th! I'm really ticked and I think I'm going to go buy it at Smith's or something and return my pre-ordered book when it gets here. I can't possibly wait that long! I thought it would get here a lot sooner, but obviously I was wrong! Grr... Oh well I guess, I'll read it somehow :) but I'm going crazy!

Hopefully pics will be coming soon of our New York trip and the camping trip, I just need to copy them to my computer. Yay!
