Some Heaven & Hell

This weekend has been one for the books. We blessed Leighton this weekend in our brand new ward. She wore my old blessing dress, and looked beautiful. Chad gave her a sweet blessing and I was really proud to be his wife. We had lot's of family and friends there to support us.

Here are Leightons Grandmas and Great Grandmas.The happy family.

Now for the Hell part:

On Friday night our 1st floor toilet was acting up. I went and bought a plunger and it seemed to be a fix. Saturday there were more problems and we couldn't get a hold of the builder or the plumber. Mind you, we've been in this house not even 2 wks and it is brand new. So on Sunday after everyone had left we really started to find the problems. There was a ton of water in our crawl space and crap was literally in our utility closet. So we had the roto rooter guy come over at about 9pm. He saw the damage and called the water damage specialists to come over and clean stuff up. The roto rooter man couldn't fix the problem but he was guessing that our sewer line had somehow been crushed. So everyone comes back over the next morning and we stick a camera down our sewer line. Everything is totally clear until it gets to about 80 feet out and then it's just black and won't go any further. So that afternoon a backhoe shows up to dig out our front lawn. They dig and dig and finally discover that we are completely missing about 3ft of our sewer line. So basically everything we flush goes down so far and then ends up coming back up and overflowing into our house. The carpet in the front room has to be replaced as does the bottom 2 ft of dry wall in our living room and we feel like we're living in a war zone right now.

This is set up so that we aren't breathing in all of the chemicals and stuff they are using to clean and disinfect. I kind of feel like we're filming an episode of 24 at my house and we can't let the virus escape. The guys working on this were wearing actual suits and helmets for protection.

This was towards the beginning of the hold digging. Trust me the hole and mess got much bigger.

Here is the broken pipe. The fun part of all of this is that everyone has been billing us because it's our house and it's going to be our responsibility to collect all of the money from the who sold us the place.

This is a long post but I just want to post a couple more cute pics.
