We have clean clothes!

You'll be happy to know we were not forced to beat our dirty clothes on a rock down by the river. And do you know why? You guessed it. We finally received our new washer and dryer on Sunday afternoon. WOO HOO!

Of course, these items didn't arrive without slumlord drama. No. You see, we were supposed to receive the machines on Saturday morning. Because we had errands to run that morning, we dutifully moved the furniture and hanging clothes out of the way (for the fifth time) so the slumlords could install the machines without contending with our obstacles.

So when we arrived home at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, we fully expected to have our machines installed and in working order. But alas, no, it wasn't meant to be. It was then that we learned that one of the slumlords had been taken to the emergency room due to an infected tooth (He's fine now).

Although we're sympathetic to his plight, we were also very frustrated to learn that again, we wouldn't be receiving our desperately-needed washer and dryer. And again, we would have to move our furniture back into place (so we could walk around in our apartment) and hang our clothes (since we laid them on our bed) and wait to hear as to when said machines would be arriving.

With high spirits and optimistic outlooks, we once again moved all of our items on Sunday morning after learning our machines would be installed that morning. Sure, the installation didn't occur until 3:00 p.m., but we were so ecstatic, we didn't care!

Seven heaping loads of laundry later, we can now rejoin life and spend time with others knowing we don't stink anymore. It's a great day!

Oh, AND the slumlords sheepishly returned our stolen towel. They even washed it.

So the only thing left on our slumlords' to-do list is to install a storm door and screens. Oh, and fix the kitchen faucet. But we're not holding our breath that those things will happen anytime soon.

In other news, the weather in Georgia has been absolutely gorgeous, so we took the opportunity to walk to Little Five Points on Sunday to explore the neighborhood and do some people-watching. As always, we had a lovely time.

We also hope you're having a lovely time enjoying all life has to offer. Please know you're in our thoughts and we love and miss you...the girlz
