Plumbing and Wrestling Update

Well, our leak is finally fixed and this past weekend Luther put up new sheet rock to cover all the holes in the walls and ceiling.  Last night he did the first round of sanding, so maybe next weekend I can paint?  I will be super glad when this whole process is completed.

Tomorrow is Ryan's district meet. He is seeded 4th and has to finish 4th or higher to continue on to regional's.  Luther and I were both able to get the day off work and Honey and Papa are going with us.  If they do not finish the tournament tomorrow, it will continue on Thursday.  It would be awesome if Ryan made it to regional's his sophomore year. Go Ryan!

Beginning 2013

Well, this year has started off with a bang! I have been sick since shortly after Christmas, then New Year's Eve I felt much better and we went to Luther's parent's house to celebrate Christmas with his brother's family who were in Michigan.  We went home and Luther and I were in bed about 10PM, so we didn't even stay up late and the next morning we both woke up sicker than ever!  We both stayed home all day on the couch and in bed Tuesday.  

Luther's grandmother passed away and her viewing was on Wednesday night, the 2nd.  Luther and I were so sick we went to bed and missed it.  On Thursday, we went to her funeral.  

Friday, the 4th, we both felt better and went to Houston to Ryan's wrestling tournament.  He was eliminated Friday, so we did not need to go back Saturday.  Saturday, I woke up sick again!  We had to go help clean out Luther's grandmother's apartment and then I got antibiotics.  I was not actually feeling better until the 8th. I missed work on Monday the 7th.  

So, I go back to work on the 8th and then on the 9th, Luther walked into our closet and the carpet was soaked.  I stayed home from work and had to move everything out of the entire closet, so a plumber could come find the leak.  It was behind the wall at the base of the foundation in our hot water pipe.  The insurance adjuster met us on Thursday to see the damage.  We are now in the process of getting estimates without hot water in the house.  My closet is in my living room and dining room and it's driving me insane!

Saturday, the 12th, Ryan had another meet in Houston, but I stayed home to try to get over all the crud in my system so I wouldn't relapse.  I wish I would have gone because he was 2-2, but I did not want to take a chance on getting sick all over again.  

The only good thing from all of this so far, is that I have decided to purge stuff before it goes back into our closet. Wow! 2013 sure is starting off on a low note...
