Lately

We welcomed LOTS of rain today. Thanks Hannah. We went to Pottery Barn today to spend the rest of our gift cards. I...I mean we...got some great stuff! When we came home there was a little surprise waiting for us. Puddling on the floor. If you didn't hear before, our basement apartment has a tendency to flood. This time we caught it before it was too late. All the rain made the sewage drains flood and the cap on the "sewer clean out" was leaking profusely. This made the storage area of the basement puddle a lot more and so I began to wetvac. Luckily, I have a handy husband who figured out a way to stop the leaking and we only had a few of our things that got wet that we have to wash or throw out. But thankfully nothing was seriously damaged like the last flood.

Things around here are going well tho. On Labor Day we visited Teddy Roosevelt island on the Potomac River. I had never been there so it was great to see new things in D.C. We may only be in this area for another 10 months or so, so we want to take advantage of living in a place with so much to see! We have a few things left on our list to do before we leave. This past week, Ronnie has been studying hard in law school and applying for different jobs in Virginia (out of Northern VA). He has also been involved in different church opportunities. I've just been working and cleaning this week. I can't wait until we have a bigger kitchen with a normal size fridge, a dishwasher and a table with chairs! That will be the day. We do have a nice place to live but when we do get a fully equipped kitchen I will be truly grateful!

Here is a picture of our entire kitchen. Ronnie bought that large toaster oven to supplement for a oven.
