Lots of "new" going on at the house. We have a new toilet in our bathroom. Both of the toilets we bought when we fixed up the house broke within months of installation. They both run water so you have to turn on the water everytime you use it. Then our toilet didn't flush very well and I brought a bucket in and we would fill it up in the tub. We had a plumber come out and he said, "that's what I call a defective toilet." Well, our toilet has been the source of many discussions and they were mainly instigated by me. When Nick said he was gonna install a new toilet I wasn't sure if I should start jumping up and down or remain calm. Well, I just started singing and doing a "new toilet dance." I was soooo thrilled and fyi I can't dance. Poor Kaleb's toilet on the other hand still needs to be shut off. We bought a new flapper and Nick and him tried to fix that piece of garbage, but it just didn't work.
Now for the other new thing. The pink is gone. If any of you know me well enough. I hate pink. I just know God is gonna give me a daughter that loves pink to humor me. So, when we first saw this house that I knew we would purchase right away. I saw the pink and said to myself, "i think there is a lot of work to be done and painting the outside posts and shutters will be the last thing on the list and I will have to live with the ugly pink." Well, sure enough I was right. In March it will be 3 years that God has blessed us with living in our house. I haven't minded the pink, but would hate for people to think that I like the color pink. Yuck, yuck, and more yuck. So, now it is painted a tan color. I preferred a darker tan so it would stand out more and Nick liked a lighter color. All that mattered to me in the end was that the pink would be gone.
Oh, I can't forget the mailbox. Can you believe a real mailbox. I just kept thinking of our mail man and how surprised he would be to see a real mailbox.
