Living in a trailer isn't so bad....

when you're not living in it. :) Recently, we've been staying at Kirk's parents house. As you all know, we have had many problems with our trailer. The latest problem is that our water pump broke. Actually, before that, our water heater stopped working...

The water heater on our trailer is a propane one. We got it working once, but it was kind of dangerous. It kind of started a little fire on the side of our trailer (just where the water heater was, so not too big of a deal, except it melted the knobs in there). Anyway, he tried to get it lit after that and I think it worke once, but never again. Therefore, we were without warm water. So for the past 2 months, we'e been taking cold showers. Don't worry, I bathed William at Kirk's parents house every couple of days, so he got warm baths. Ya know, cold showers actually aren't s bad as they sound. It's pretty freezing at first, but then after a couple minutes you don't really notice it anymore. Anyway, we FINALLY got a water heater (after it being backordered for a few more weeks). Kirk got that all installed and then guess what...our water pump broke!

We finally got our water pump the other day (after it somehow got shipped to our old house in Twin). It's hard with all these things breaking, because since both Kirk and I are working 10-14 hour work days, so the only time he can fix anything on the trailer is either late Saturday nights or on Sunday. We moved the trailer back to Kirk's parents house so we could have water and all that . Kirk got the pump installed today (after a few complications) and now we have water, and hot water! Life is good :) We're planning on keeping the trailer parked at Kirk's parents house to save some money on food and everything. We'll live in our trailer so we'll still have our privacy and everything, but I think we'll save money this way.

Well, that's the update on our life in the trailer.
