APARTMENT STRUGGLES...

We were excited to be back to Rexburg and to just hang out Sunday night before school started the next day but it happened a little differently... 

We pulled into our apartment’s parking lot and we literally had to shovel a spot to park our car. The snow was so deep and no one was in our apartment complex while we were gone so we had to shovel a ton of snow. Then Garrett spent forever shoveling our sidewalk. So I was inside putting stuff away about to make dinner and I went to get some water and it didn’t turn on.

Flashback to the night before when we were at Payton’s basketball game we had received a all from our Elder’s Quorum President and he left a message but we didn’t listen to it until we got back home. Once we listened to it, it said that the fire department and ambulance were at our apartment complex so don’t be worried when we show up and they are there. Uhhhh, yeah I’m probably going to be a little worried.  Then soon after we got a call from our Landlord who said that the pipes had burst in the two apartments next to us and that there was a lot of water in them. She didn’t know the whole story because she lives in Great Falls but was telling us that nothing happened to ours, at least she didn’t’ think.

Back to Sunday, so the water didn’t turn on and so I told Garrett and then we realized the internet wasn’t working and we didn’t have any gas either which meant it was pretty cold in there. Garrett called and talked to our Landlord and she was wondering if we could still stay there and so we did but we still had no water or anything, which made it tough. So Monday we started school and that day, some guys came to look at our apartment and told us that the pipes in the apartment above ours are frozen as well so that could leave our apartment in standing water as well. Yeah, I didn’t love the sound of that.

So Monday night we went out to eat and then our Landlord got us a hotel, which we were very thankful for. Compared to the night before we slept like babies. So with all the craziness of school and our apartment being taken over we tried to enjoy the hotel a little bit. We enjoyed continental breakfast, the hot tub, the king bed, and cable!

We stayed at the hotel Tuesday night as well and then moved back into our apartment on Wednesday. We are still with no Internet which is kind of a pain when we are both students but our prayers were answered and our apartment stayed dry. We were blessed and are so thankful that everything worked out.
