A Unexpected Death in Our Home......

Today we have had a death in our family. This death was unexpected, and has devastated us. We knew he was getting old, and had few weeks to live, but he decided that today was the day he would send up the last drop of hot water. Yes this death was a new acquaintance of only 2 months, but we were so attached to him!! Mister Water Heater has now gone to heaven leaving his family with nothing but dang freezing cold water in the dead of winter.....rude if you ask me!!
So tonight we are up late draining him, and removing his corps so we can prepare for a newer younger better running gas water heater. Our dear old friend was only a electric and well I had great dislike for him and his inability to serve me with enough hot water to fill my much loved baths. So while the death is sad it is an occasion to break out in song to have a brand new water heater.
A special thanks to Brandon and his parents for staying till midnight helping us pour a cement pad to set the new water heater on so it had time to set up before the new one gets installed.... HOPEFULLY Monday. Its been a project tonight...cleaning up the old one, vacuuming out all the crap that the other people had it set on, and poured the new one. I feel so blessed that i have a hubby that can work hard and know how to do things around the house. I am also grateful for in-laws that are so willing to come over and lend a helping hand as well as all the materials we needed to fix up and pour a cement pad.
So i bid farewell to the old and welcome in the new...and ask for patience in waiting for the niceness of hot water.
