What did I get myself into!!?

Is it just me, or does everyone else find themselves asking this question? What did I get myself into? 

My current dilemma is how I am going to: pack up my apartment, sign on the new house, move everything into the new house, tear out the carpet, paint, and be packed for my cruise all by next Friday. The list did contain one more item, but I just crossed that off the list- hopefully. You see, it all began at 7:00pm tonight. 

Kasey had a crazy day at work and he was extremely tired and totally passed out. I was waiting impatiently for him to get up, so I happened to look on Craigslist for a fridge. We knew that we had to buy a fridge, but we hadn't necessarily done our research as to where and how much we had to spend. I found a stainless steel fridge that happened to be in our small town and only listed a day ago. I started to text the guy and he said that we could go look, but they were leaving at 9:30pm and would be gone for three weeks! Time was ticking! 

I woke Kasey up- which I highly advise no one does- and we go to look at the fridge. Of course, the house we go to is not the best...okay, it was really scary, but they have this gorgeous brand new fridge! We left and decided it would probably be okay, so we called them and said we'd pick it up tonight if they would drop the price by $100; they agreed and we got our fridge! Score! 


So here's the "what did I get myself into" part. My whole 5'4" 124lbs was not going to be able to help Kasey lift and move this fridge by ourselves. So I start frantically calling- Kasey's stepdad, Kasey's mom, and my amazing friends Summer and Topher. No one is answering!!! I have less than an hour until these people leave and I need this dang fridge! Finally I call my friends Kayla and Billy and they came to my rescue! 

We get to the house and the boys start carrying the fridge out and into the pickup. Billy bravely volunteers to ride in the back of the truck with the fridge. 

We get home and I go to set this thing up. Girls, I don't know about you but I am totally the "get out of my way, I can do this myself" type. Kasey is being a "fuss butt" as my friends Summer and Topher would say. So I put the fridge together...three times. I kept forgetting screws! Ugh! Kasey would come out and ask how he could help and it only made me more frustrated! 

However, I'm happy to announce that the fridge is safely in my garage and running. Yes, I was a little afraid something would break between their house and ours. 

I hope that when this week and a half is over I can look back and laugh, but right now there isn't much laughing happening. I feel like I am Thomas the Train...I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!

  1. This cracks me up Brie! I can totally relate to the "I can do it myself!" attitude!
