Today is a super-duper great day — not just because it’s Ritchie’s<\/font><\/a> 25th birthday either!\u00c2\u00a0 Although that is definitely a cause to celebrate!\u00c2\u00a0 Happy birthday, Ritchie!<\/p>\n

When I arrived home today I was greeted by the wonderful sound of a working furnace.\u00c2\u00a0 It was music to my ears!\u00c2\u00a0 Nevermind that the hallway was in shambles and that there was enough sheetrock dust all over the place to fill a small tub, it was all worth it.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m so thankful for David coming over to help Brian install the new door on our utility closet (the old one had to be removed so that the service guys could have access, not necessarily replaced though, but there again — Brian hated that door so it had to be replaced — so what if it doesn’t match the door to the water heater a mere two inches away from it).\u00c2\u00a0 Call today’s blog an ode to my father-in-law Dave because without his help I don’t think that the the door would have gotten installed.<\/p>\n

At any rate, Brian made me take a shower with him because he was feeling grody from working on the door and being covered in sheetrock dust.\u00c2\u00a0 It took some convincing on his part too because showering at night is really not my thing.\u00c2\u00a0 My routine is to shower in the morning when I wake up, which I will do again tomorrow, but I decided to give in and shower with Brian.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, what a glorious feeling it is to be able to step out of the shower and not have to run to the bedroom where the space heater is!\u00c2\u00a0 I can walk around the house naked (or at least partially clothed) again, instead of having to wear layers of clothing to keep warm.\u00c2\u00a0 I could go on and on but you get the picture.<\/p>\n

Allelujah!\u00c2\u00a0 It truly is a wonderful day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
