Surprise!!!

I really wanted our 2ooth post to be something extra special and I certainly got more than I bargained for! So much for wishful thinking! Josh, Hailey and I had an amazing weekend.... Full of parties, sleepovers, sledding, spending time with neighbors, etc.... I was beginning to think it was perfect until Josh went to the basement at 8:00 last night to get some pillows of Hailey's that were left there and discovered that our sump pump stopped working!! For those of you who do not know what a sump pump is, it is a pump that is always draining ground water from under your house!! Well with the heavy wet snow we had on top of all the rain our pump went out sometime on Sunday!! The basement was now flooded!! UGH! Carpet and all! Josh was amazing and stayed so calm and collective makes situations like this so much easier! He and our neighbor Eddie tried to get some of the water out last night, however it was not working! Josh stayed home this morning so he could get some things taken care of! We were able to get someone to come out and extract the water from the carpet.... 150 gallons of water to be exact!! We are now trying to dry out the carpet and see if we are able to keep it! We caught it soon enough so hopefully there is not much damage to be taken care of!! I just think how lucky we are that Josh had to go get something out of the basement when he did!! So there you have it..... Our amazing 200th post!!
