One morning while he was gone I headed out to the garage to go feed, but when I tried to open the garage door it would only open 2 inches then stop. When I pushed the button again, it would go down to the ground, start to go back up, then stop again at 2 inches. I tried to use the manual release, but the door just slammed back down to the ground. It was stuck solid, there was no way I was going to pull that door up. Yippee. This is the part where I realize how incredibly fixer-upper-challenged I am! Fortunately after a few phone calls, one including Jacob- mostly for moral support seeing as though he was 4 hours away, I managed to get hold of Wally Orton who was able to make it out in an hour. After he finished, he said I was lucky- he was supposed to be in Tremonton that morning but had a cancellation so was able to come out fairly quickly. I consider it a huge blessing! He also managed to have the part in his truck! Hot diggety dog! Suddenly I realized how grateful I am for a garage door that goes up and down without much thought. Also very grateful for a husband who usually gets to be in charge of these fun little adventures.
When Jacob came home, we decided to head over to Tremonton that Friday night for a little rodeo. It was a fun night. We always are glad when daddy comes home!
Allie, Ty, and Lexi are all doing the school musical this year. The musical is The Little Mermaid Jr. They have practices a few times a week and will perform in March. Parents are required to help out at a few of the rehearsals for the smaller children, so I've gone a few times with Lexi. She is a "poor unfortunate soul." Seriously, so cute! There are 5 little Kindergarten girls who will be the poor souls.
