Wow, 2012 is coming in like a lion. Does that mean it's going to go out like a lamb? Oh wait, that's March. Anyway, over the weekend we had some RIDICULOUS winds. Winds that were gusting in excess of 80mph. Those are hurricane force winds! In one night we lost both our hot tub cover and our swing set
The hot tub cover tore off the poles and the swing set was ripped out of the ground, broke apart, and the top splintered in half. Jeremy was able to use...something (grommets?) to secure the cover back together - at least for now. He was pretty sure he could replace the splintered wood and save the swing set too...until the next day. That's when we got even MORE wind. So much wind that it knocked over the fence that was behind the swing set and it landed right on top of the already broken set. Yeah, that's a bummer. We also lost other sections of our fence all around the yard.
THEN, this morning I woke up to get ready for church. No hot water. JZ went down to check out the hot water heater's pilot light and found that water was bubbling out the top and drenching the cement all around the heater. Uh oh. No hot showers for us for a day or so, our hot water heater sprung a leak!
So, just to recap, in the last three days we have lost our hot tub cover, swing set, fence, and hot water heater.
Wow, 2012. What else ya got?

We came home from Keystone last year on New Year's day to find out water heater had gone out. That was not awesome. Found a repair guy to come on a holiday was not cheap - but I needed to SHOWER!
