Hello November! So thankful!

Refrigerator: We’re getting a new refrigerator! It’s going to be delivered on Wednesday this week, and we are so excited! It’s brand new, from RC Willy, just down the road from us. It’s the same place we bought our bed set back in May and we’re really happy with them. Best part? It’s free! To us at least, the land lord is paying for it, thank goodness.

Plumbing: So a while back a plumber came to fix a leak for one of our neighbors. Right after that we noticed there was water springing up in our back yard. Literally, springing up, directly outside our bedroom window, it sounded like it was raining. Ezra looked at it that night and sort of touched it and it stopped springing, and started just sort of flowing out, as though a sprinkler head had broken. We assumed it had something to do with what the plumber was doing earlier and let it go. One night about a week later I came home and the water was off. I found out that our local manager didn’t know about the leak in the yard until one of the other tenants told her. The water was turned off so they could do a quick patch job while they waited for the real part to come in. It came in this week and they fixed it… but suddenly the water pressure in our kitchen sink was shot. I emailed the manager again and when she let us know about the fridge, she told us the plumber was coming back on Tuesday to fix the water pressure issue. YAY! Next week is going to be so awesome!



French Bread Pizza Soup: Best thing ever! On Thursday I was flipping through my cookbooks trying to decide what to make for dinner. I kind of wanted pizza, but didn’t have enough time to make the dough for the crust, and I didn’t want to order out. I decided that soup sounded good and so was looking through the soup section of a newer cookbook I got. For one reason or another I kept vetoing the soups I found, and then this little gem showed up. French bread pizza soup! It was so easy! A couple cans of diced tomatoes, a couple cans of tomato soup, red pepper, green pepper, garlic and spices. I cooked it on the stove, then ladled it into oven proof bowls (that we got for our wedding!) put a slice of French bread in the middle then sprinkled mozzarella cheese over the whole thing. Broil it until the cheese is melted (just a couple minutes) and that's it! It was so good! And healthier than regular pizza! Ez said, and I agree, we have to do that more often than order regular pizza, it’s so much cheaper, better, healthier, and makes so much more!

Minor news: It snowed last night. Just a bit. It was all gone by the afternoon. We went to BYU’s Divine Comedy taping Saturday evening. BYUtv might give them a TV show so we were there for the filming of some of the skits. It was a lot of fun. J

Yep, that’s the news. Looking forward to what’s coming this next week. Later!
