We went to church today, ate lunch with freinds and family at Casa Blanca's on University (YUM)... When I walked in the doors at church this morning a lady asked me "Do you need any bunkbeds"? I immediately said yes, that I had been looking for some on craigslist the day before and were not able to find any that fit my budget. She told me that she had gotten some from a freind , but did not have a place for them currently, I called her when we left the resturant, we set up a time to go and pick it up, we picked them up over in Hampton Cove about 4:00pm, brought them home, the boys loved them, Zachary chose the top bunk and Devin wanted the bottom bunk, everything worked out great. Not trying to sound to religious or anything, but I believe in my heart that God provided this bed for us. Liz said that she was trying to figure out what to do with the bed, and she said that God told her to talk to me about them. It is amazing to me how God works in our lives dailyIt was only $50.00 and it came with the mattresses. So we get home and put the bed together, when we went back out into the living room to take Zachary's other bed to the garage, we rounded the corner and the Fish Aquarium was spraying water all over our living room, chris and I dropped the mattress we had in our hands and started running around with our heads cut off, trying to figure out how to get the aquarium out of the living room, but it was a lost cause, it was a 55 gallon and it was way to heavy with water to carry out, and at this point we were standing in about an 1" of water in our living room. It was leaking all around the seal of the tank, and then the 25 gallon tank in the bottom overflowed, it was awful. Chris tried to get a pump and start pumping some of the water out to the front yard, but the damage had already been done and the pump was slow etc. So in matter of about 1 hour the entire 80 gallon of water flooded our living room, about 7:30pm we finally got all of the water dried up, but it sure made a sticky mess everywhere, it got the living room floor,kitchen, hallway,and started seeping into mine and shelbies room..ugh the mess.
