New Washer and Dryer

So we finally have been able to afford a new front loader washer and dryer!!  Thanks to our big, fat refund from taxes and the $150 rebate from the power and gas company for buying energy efficient machines.  I decided to get the pedestals so I don't have to bend over to get the clothes in.  It is a tight fit in the laundry room and the builders built the room with the washer hook ups on the wrong side of the room so the machines are backwards and the doors hit!  Boo to the builder on that one!!

Since they are so tall, I cannot see behind to make sure the delivery guys hooked everything up right.  I turned on the washer and could not see any water but I could hear it.  I was worried until I read the manual that says, "Do not be alarmed if you do not see water, the clothes are getting the water that they need to be clean."  I guess I am so use to them soaking in the water that it is strange to see them dry in the washer.

I delivery guy commented on how great the washer is because he just bought one too and he loves it!  I am excited to put them to the test today as we have had the old machines unhooked since Sat since Big Bugz was gone on business - the clothes have piled up!!

Question for the week/month

What is the last book you read and what are your thoughts on the book??? Mine is the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.  Once I got into the book, I could not stop reading.  We first only bought the first book but then by the time I was done with that one, I ran to Costco to get the second one that just came out.  I am now waiting for the third book (no idea when it will be released but I am hoping soon but it looks like 2011!)  And I just learned they are making a movie from the series.  For those of you that have not read the books, I don't want to say too much about them so you have the same experience reading them that I did.

Split Again

Our huge ward (over 875) finally split today!  This will have been our 5th ward split in 8 years in 2 different cities.  We are land locked now so hopefully we will not go through another split for awhile.  We are in the new ward so that means that we are no longer ward missionaries.  They only called the Bishop this morning so he does not even have counselors at this point.  Who knows what our new assignments will be - the possibilities are endless.    It is always fun to be in the new ward, starting fresh, never knowing where we will end up nor who we will be able to work with and get to know.  I am excited to see where this adventure takes us.

I am getting old!

I went to the eye doctor two weeks ago and was told that it is surprising that I have never had glasses.  So I was given a prescription for glasses - my one eye is like 160 and the other is like 40 or something.  So today the glasses came in.  My eyes are not liking the adjusting - 33 years of trying to focus on their own and now they are being forced to focus on the correct things. This is the first year that we are not having Santa play a big role in our Christmas presents.  It seems to be working out much better this way.  Small Bugz has even asked how we do stockings.  If we get up really early and do them.  He will get to help with that this year too. We are planning to go see Invictus and Sherlock Holmes this week. Anyone have any opinions on the government health care plan???
