How could I have forgotten...

Because of all of the happy times this Christmas, when posting my Christmas recap posts, I totally forgot to write about our "Christmas gift" we got when we arrived home after staying away (and Tate sleeping away from home for 6 nights!) for a couple of nights. We were SO LOOKING FORWARD to sleeping in our own bed, in our own home, just the 3 of us. Well, we realized within about 10 seconds of arriving home on Christmas night at 9 pm that our heater had not been running. It was COLD to say the least. Sean did some research and found that he couldn't get it working...broken, completely broken. So, after unloading our filled to the brim van and bundling Tate up in a pair of pajamas, layered with another pair of pajamas on top of it, Sean called our landlord...on Christmas night. Ugh. Necessary, but not what we wanted to have to do. So they called Citywide and someone came over around 10:30 pm and after about an hour down by our furnace, gave us the bad news that it was "shot" and that we should leave the house because of a possibility of a carbon monoxide leak in addition to the frigid temps. Thank goodness for having family in town! We packed up AGAIN and headed over to Chris and Brenda's for the night. We were so grateful for them letting us crash there! We were all finally in bed by about 1 a.m.. Not what we wanted to do on Christmas night!

The next day, we got a new HE furnace! Yay!!! But the fun wasn't over yet. The next night (last night), the new furnace was not working! It was frigid in our house again. So another phone call to the landlord was made...and another visit from Citywide was had...at 10 pm! Ugh. What was wrong this time? Wiring...apparently we have some bad wiring or something. Nothing was able to be permanently fixed although we were able to get the heat working again! YAY! Now we will be getting some wiring issues taken care of later this week. What fun. This is when not being the owner of this home is actually a benefit!

We love heat...heat is good.
