Lights Out

One thing I pride myself in is that I think I'm pretty, dang smart. Sound prideful? Maybe, but I don't mean it that way at all, I just love to learn (hence the whole me being a teacher thing), and I think education is the most important thing in the world basically. Anyhow, this is proof that I still have so much to learn. It's kind of funny when something like what happened does and reminds you of your youth and inexperience...

So here's what happened. Jake and I moved into our new, dream home 2 weeks ago tomorrow. We thought everything was taken care of after we signed our lives away by placing our "John Hancock" on so many papers the rain forest would weep. Welp, we were wrong... Everything was perfect the first week and a half of living here until Jake came home on Thursday and immediately noticed there was a problem. We had NO power! We both got right on it and called our lender to find out what the problem was, and I was ready to "let them have it!" Well, turns out you have to actually call the power company yourself and change it into your name! We NEVER knew that!!

Maybe that sounds crazy and also idiotic, but come now, we're young and even though I don't like to admit it, I have tons to learn, and this is evidentally one of those million things. Well, needless to say, by the time we called to get our electricity turned on, it was too late, so we spent the whole night without any light, and no power at all!! Fingers crossed everything in our fridge is ok! We'll let you know if it was after we eat it! They turned on the power again this afternoon, and let me tell you how thankful I am for that! Thank you modern conveniences!

Just thought I'd let you know our funny blunder this week! Next on the "To Do" List, call to change the utilities and water ino our names too... Who knew??!
