Long day

Today was a very long and hectic day for us. We decided to celebrate Valentine's Day today in order to avoid the craziness that will be going on tomorrow so we took the kids out and had a nice lunch together. We then went to Target to get a few things and had to rush home right after. We've been without a working dryer for almost a week now, and it's been so hard. Everything, including towels and socks, have had to be line-dried. Needless to say the clothes have taken incredibly long to dry. Pants have taken a minimum of two days. So we had an appliance repairman come to our house to take a look at it. Turns out the motor had gone bad in the dryer. We don't have a fancy dryer at all. It's about as basic as they come so he recommended just getting a new dryer because we'd only be spending a little more on a new one than we would to have them replace the motor. 

As soon as he left we fed Lorelai and headed out to check prices at Lowe's, Home Depot, and Sears. Unfortunately we weren't able to buy the best priced dryer because no one had anything in stock other than Lowe's. We were NOT in a position to wait a week for it so we sucked it up and bought one that was a little more expensive in order to get it home tonight. It's after 11:30 PM, and it's still not hooked up in the laundry room. Jon is trying to get everything ready so we can move it in there. Thankfully, though, the kids have been asleep for a little while, but it was a late night for them as well. I just hate having to buy new things like a dryer when our old stuff breaks. But at least I'll be able to dry things the modern way again. :)

In other news I'm super excited because Alyson (for those who don't know she was one of my bridesmaids) and her precious son Cayman are going to be visiting us tomorrow. We were fortunate enough to be able to see them the day after Christmas as well. I think this is the closest our visits have been since Jon and I moved from Wake Forest to Augusta. 

Here is a funny video for everyone as well. I hope you enjoy it!
