Slumber Party Fun

So yesterday we received notice that something had gone in the transfer of our water bill and it was still in the sellers name. Actually, she found out that something went wrong and stopped service immediately. This meant that we had to get the water transferred into our name but something else happened that required a bill to be paid before 5pm and it wasn't.... yada yada yada our water got cut off.

Michael had already given our friends Garrett and Lu a heads up that we might need a place to stay and so last night we packed our bags and headed north to Carrollton to stay with the Frith fam. We had a nice dinner, Lu and I got to watch the Bachelorette together aaaaand Michael broke the handle on their back door - it wouldn't open anymore. Whoops! Anyway, G & Michael took the door knob apart and got that fixed ...


Then today Michael tried to get the service up and running again but alas, it may be another 48 hours before our water is back on. We packed our bags and are again playing double household with G & Lu who are nice enough to host again. Michael eats it up getting to play with their Boston terrier, Charlie, and we even worked in a dinner-for-six tonight with our other friends Ben and Amy.

A little inconvenience has allowed us to enjoy some more time with friends so I'm just going to look for the silver lining. However I DID just watch Michael - who was blowing in Charlie's face to make him do this crazy bite-at-the-air licking thing - spit his gum across the room onto their carpet. Forgoing any other broken doors or gum in the carpet, perhaps we'll be allowed to stay again one more night should our water still be off come 5pm manana. ha!

Have a great week!
