34

On Friday Troy turned 34. It was quite shocking...literally! Have you every just had one of those weeks where by the end you are thinking "what's next?" ? That was last week for us. The air conditioner went out in the Accadia so we were down one car. (after taking it to 2 shops and not having a car for a whole week, it still isn't fixed!) On Wednesday I turned the oven on and a loud pop and huge flash of fire went off in the oven because the heating element burnt in half. So when Troy got off on Friday he picked me up and we did a little shopping and bought a heating element. When he went to replace it he got electrocuted pretty bad...the element had burnt off in the back as well as the place we could see so when he grabbed it he completed the circuit and got quite a pop! Replacing the element then became a huge chore of removing the stove, it's built into our cabinets, and taking the whole thing apart to get the small piece out that had broken off in the back. Long story short- my oven is fixed and Troy has the feeling back in his arm! On Saturday we made Daddy birthday pancakes. The rest of his day was filled with sanding drywall and putting up light fixtures!This is the inside of our new walk in closet...doesn't it look awesome?
It wasn't all work and no play. We celebrated Don, Troy and my birthday's on Saturday night at a pizza/ pool party at Don and Mary's. It was lots of fun spending time with good friends! Hopefully next year Troy won't have such an exciting birthday week!
