Thursday night the hot water pipe under our kitchen sink broke. Water was everywhere! Luckily, Clark was home, and he ran down to our crawl-space to shut the water off. He was then able to buy a new pipe and fix the broken one. Easy fix. Or so we thought. Clark went back downstairs to turn the water back on, and the knob was stripped, and stuck in the off position. So Clark made another trip to the store, to buy a new valve, and sautering supplies. His first attempt (ever) at sautering in the new valve was not successful. There were a lot of leaks. By this time it was 11 p.m., so we went to bed. Clark tried sautering again when he got home from work Friday. After 2 more tries and 26 hours without water (although we did have a couple of gallons of water from food storage), we had success! Thank goodness Clark was home to help me with this crisis. I am very grateful that Clark is such a fix-it man.
Corbin thought it was all really fun

Staci, It all comes at once when things go bad! I know. Car tires a new dryer... it will get better soon.
Oh! I'm so sorry you are having these issues. It's so nice to have a husband who can fix things. And I think that's so awesome that you were able to go that long without running water. This is making me think I need to get more water in my food storage. Thanks for the reminder.
Wow - you guys have had a string of bad luck!! Hope it didn't hurt your beautiful floors!! Way to go Clark. All the new skills you guys are getting.
You both have worked through another challenge! It's part of life. Thank goodness there are the smooth times sprinkled between the rough times. The key is working it out together. It will make you both stronger and independent..keep your sense of humor and all "bad luck" situations work themselves out ;) Aren't you glad it didn't happen this weekend when you'll be gone?!
AND....Corbin has such fun ;)
Love you...good times ahead..you deserve it!!
Yikes! Im glad you guys were able to work everything out.
