There is only one thing more annoying than having a huge pile of laundry to do. Not having the ability to do it.
When we first got engaged, a family that lived down the street from Derek's family
were selling their fridge, washer, and dryer.
For CHEAP.
We bought them, not having any idea what our situation would be like. It was like a "just in case."
And it turned out great.
Until we moved.
After we packed the washer and dryer up and drove them 14 hours, we realized that our dryer was electric and we had gas hookups. (Bec, don't tell Deric! He'll tell us "I told you so" haha)
And then, when we tried to hook up the washer, water went everywhere and we had no idea why.
So... We decide to sell them. And in the meantime, piles and piles and piles and some more piles piled up.
We sold them on Craigslist, but the guy buying them turned out to be really odd and things were seeming not right so we revoked the offer.

Then, my wonderful family came to town and with a generous gift from my dad, we got it all taken care of. We bought a new dryer, and Kevin and my cute hubby were able to find a silly hole in the washer hose and were able to get a new hose for free! No need for a new washer! Huge blessing!
Our old lone dryer. Out on the porch. So white trash, I know but we haven't sold it yet. I promise it has a tarp over it. And it's below the fence, so it doesn't look terrible, but we still know what it is;)
And then my wonderful family helped us to put up a shelf and two rods... one for hanging clothes and one to cover up the laundry hole in the wall. Feels more like a home already!
Lovely shelf:)
New dryer and rod for hanging
And the beautiful After:)
You never know what you have till it's gone... I now find laundry to be a blessing... or.... the ability to do laundry that is;)
