Homeowner Blues

That's right... I said Homeowner Blues.

Since we've moved in, Bryan and I have been spending money left and right on home repairs. After moving in, we have discovered:

1. A back-up in the kitchen sink. $500

2. A leaky water heater that required replacement + updated plumbing. $625

3. Soggy carpet this morning that we thought was coming from leaky pipes in the laundry room. $55

4. The real cause of the leak: groundwater seeping into our foundation. No price tag yet.

I have already cried, called my Mama and my Daddy. I am overwhelmed, but I know that HE will not give me anything I cannot handle. I am praying HE will carry us through this, and I am thankful that all of our other bills are already paid.

I am so very grateful for Bryan, who is on his way home from work to help me get a temporary fix going. He is, as always, calm when I am anxious, positive when I am frustrated and rational when I am... not.

Pictures are loaded, updates will come soon.
