Leaky CeilingSo I woke up last night to the sound of "drip drip drip" When I finally rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and came to enough to realize that the sound wasn’t coming from my computer and the soundscapes channel I let play as I went to sleep. I discovered that a nice bubble had formed on my ceiling and water was dripping onto my garbage can. I jumped up and grabbed an empty dishpan I had under my kitchen sink and put that under it. Then I had to call security to get the emergency maintenance pager number. I was thinking it was something gone wrong with the empty apartment above but as it turns out it’s not. Apparently a few buildings have had this issue, it’s water in the walls. The guy busted the bubble on the ceiling and put a bigger bucket underneath it. Then he said there wasn’t really much he could do about it tonight and that he would have to come back in the the morning. For a while it was dripping pretty heavily but it’s died down a bunch since, I sure hope they can fix it without much trouble.
Kenzie’s First DayWell Kenzie Started His new school today and he seems have really liked it. Seems we didn’t miss out on wrestling either as this school’s wrestling program doesn’t begin until the end of January, so he’ll be able to wrestle after all. He’s also going to go out for football next year. There is online grade access but I’ll have to call the school and get a pin number and password so I can access it. At this school there is a foreign language sampler class he takes also where he’ll be learning about spanish for now. There will be other Lanquages too though we’re not sure what they are yet. The Other day Kenzie said he had something he wanted to talk to us about, and it turns out he’s been thinking about adoption for a while, as he asked Mark to adopt him. It caught us both off gaurd but Mark was happy about it, and I suppose after the holiday’s we’re going to check on it and see what all that will entail. It seems things are going quit well in our little family and we couldn’t be happier about it. We love having Kenzie here and are glad that he’s so happy to be here.
Settling InWell we finnally got moved, and boy what a week it’s been, I felt like it was non-stop for like 5 days straight. After all is said done though it seems this move was a good Idea. We went from an apartment that was about 530 sq. feet to one that’s 845 sq. feet that’s quite a nice improvement. It’s a 2 bedroom 2 bath and I’m also loving the fact that I now have a dishwasher, garbage disposal, washer and a dryer. The Apartment also has a woodburning fireplace, as well as built in microwave. It’s a really nice place, now all I need is more furniture to fill it up…lol. Kenzie start’s school on Monday and he’s looking forward to it. That’s the only downfall I felt to this move was having to switch him schools again so soon however there wasn’t much we could do about it. Our old landlord really did a number on us wanting us to move right before the holidays so he could renovate the apartment, and though we tried we just couldn’t find a place in the same school district. But now we have a 12 month lease so I don’t think we’ll be moving again anytime soon.
Happy Thanksgiving!As it may be a while before I can post again I just wanted to tell everyone Happy Thanksgiving and I hope yours is a good one. My family and I however will be spending the holidays packing so that we can move next weekend. We’ll more than likely be celebrating thanksgiving after the move instead of on the day. So cheers to everyone and I hope your holidays are well!!!!
