When it Rains...IT POURS!

Well December has been a busy month......and already we are in 2008.

Nick and I have had an intersting couple of weeks, on boxing day or big freezer broke, I should mention that our freezer has right around half a cow in it. So the fact taht it stopped working really stressed Nick out.....I called the repairman to come and fix it, and he after looking at it for about 3 minutes informed me and I quote. " Ma'am....your freezer is terminal...." I was like HUH?? he said "I said it's terminal, done finished.....'...mmm excellent. I wasn't sure if I was annoyed that my freezer was kaput....or the fact that he called me MA'AM.....Ia m not old enough to be a ma'am??? am I ? well anyway I called Nick up with the stressedful news and he was not impressed.....yelled well go buy a new freaking one steph. Of course he was plowing at that moment and really didn't have time to talk. So off I went to get a new freezer. $ 400 dollars later I have a new freezer. If any of you will remember one of my first posts last year was about a freezer. You see Nick and I had an old freezer that never caused us any problems...it was like 20 years old I swear but worked very well... then nick's sister made us buy hers....if you are wondering how she made us buy it....please refer back to my post last April it will fill you in.
So our old freezer never stopped it was great. But we felt that since we had this new freezer we might as well use it as let it sit in the basement for 10 years. So we gave our old freezer away....big mistake. So we have been using this "new freezer" for about four months now.....so the old freezer we gave away....well it's still working....the new freezer we bought from Nick's sister......not working....?? so I might have a little bad luck.
So that's the first bad thing that happened....and it really wasn't that bad...I mean we got a new freezer...our meat didn't go bad...blah blah blah.....the second thing that happened....
Well you all know that in Novemeber Nick and I adopted a golden....she came to us injured. Well she healed up and seemed to be okay...however she re injured her leg on a walk Christmas eve. We have know learned from the vet that she has a torn ACL....that she had when we got her, but often the dog will heal it enough to walk without a limp but as soon as she runs hard...she will re injure it. So the only way to fix this is surgery....that costs about 1400$.....FUN TIMES...hahaha
But on the bright side...she can be fixed.....it will just be expensive!! :)
Thankfully my term at Dwight Ross has been extended until the end of the year....so I know I will be making a steady income!! hahah when it rains it pours!!!


2008 is going to be a very interesting year around our house, Nick and I are planning on getting married August 23 2008 so we are going to be quite busy between now and then!!! So lets hope i can get my butt in gear and get this wedding planned!!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful 2008, I am hoping it is my best year yet!!!
Happy New Year!!
