It's Kaput

Memorial Day weekend we ventured out to take care of some "fun" and expensive errands like...buying new tires for my van. Super fun and expensive. Bummer. We came home and when we walked in I could smell something burning. It came from the laundry room and sure enough it was the dyer. It clunked out mid cycle and was burning hot. The next day Bryan set out to fix it. We figured it was the belt...and found out it was not the belt. Sadly it was the motor and we had two options buy a new motor or buy a new dryer. Our washer/dryer was old and we (I mean Bryan) purchased the set from a man in Utah (when we lived there) who would take old broken sets and fix them up like new. Honestly I really did not care for the washer/dryer (and of course they survived our massive flood in Utah). Sure they did the job but not that great of a job as past washer/dryers we used in our apartment rentals. We opted for the new dryer. Lucky for us it was Memorial Day weekend and everything was on sale. We were able to purchase a brand new set and get a fantastic deal on it. Since everyone in America was out buying a washer and dryer on Memorial Day weekend my new set was on put on back order and we were scheduled with a delivery date of June 19th........what? Three weeks without a dryer? I can easily wash my clothes with my old washer but how was I going to dry them? I pictured a clothes line in my backyard and Ruby chewing on our lovely clean whites which were now covered in grass stains and mud. Then I pictured dragging my two kids to a laundromat (which I have done before) and quickly put that nightmare to an end. Lucky for me we are so blessed to have incredible neighbors, an amazing ward family and I have two of the best visiting teachers out there. I have endless options of dryers and I'm SO grateful for everyone's willingness to help me.I'm so blessed! 8 days until the new set arrives!
