So...I am officially the owner of my very own house. well actually Brittanie owns half of it, but it still counts. Anyway, my family has spent every spare moment of these past few days there; painting and ripping up tile. we have almost finished all of the painting, and my dad and I are going to start laying the new tile down today!!!
I just have to share this cause I think it is hilarious!!! so since we just closed on it, we haven't had the water turned on yet, so my dad went to ask the neighbor to borrow their hose. No one answered so my dad just hooked it up cause we really needed it. A while later Britt notices that the water was shut off. So my dad heads back over there to apologize and to explain, but the guy got really mad at him, so my dad offered to pay for the water he used. My dad comes back and explains this to us and my mom says that Brit adn I should go and give him the money and try to make him feel bad for being a jerk to two cute girls. So we head over and bring him the money and he says "oh, cool, thanks" then we go back. about 5 minutes later the neighbor comes to our door with the money and apologizes saying that he had a really bad day before that and that we should take the money back.
I just laughed. My mom's plan totally worked. LOL
