Home stuff

We finally got a washer and dryer! Hub and his BFF set up the washer last night, and the dryer will hopefully beset up today. This means I’ll no longer have to take two loads at a time over to my Grandma’s house when I Grandma-sit and be up til 12:30 at night wanting on them to finish. My REM sleep thanks you, hub.

We almost have our pool open as well. Only one more “winterized” item remains, and we’ll be able to turn the pump on, get a water sample, and get it running. I’m excited to have my very own pool! I missed that. We had one at the apartment, but I didn’t feel comfortable laying out there. There were always WAY too many people in the daylight. Hub and I used to just go swimming about 9:30 or 10 at night right before the pool closed LOL. We almost always had our privacy. So, yay for the personal pool LOL.

Plus, we’re having our family’s 4th of July party this year. My brother and sis-in-law had always had the party there, so we’re just continuing the tradition and having it in the same place. As far as I know, we’re the only family members to have a pool AND deck now, so it looks like we're pretty much it for the summer get-togethers. I don't mind. I have always wanted to host family parties. Any parties, for that matter.

We might also be hosting my friend’s little boy’s birthday party the very next day. He heard we had a pool and decided he was having his party there. I thought it was a good idea also, and told my friend that we'd love to host it. It's going to be a little stressful having parties two days in a row, but I think it will be alright. It depends on how much food I have to make for both, and if I can keep the 2nd day's pre-prepared food from being eaten by curious first-day kids. Who knows... if he still decides to have the party at our house, we'll work it out.
