Well it has been freezing here in good ol' Wyoming. Yesterday it was -27 degrees without the wind chill. Our water has this awesome tendency to freeze so I left the hot water running all night. When I woke up to go to the gym this morning I came across a grave discovery. Our hot water was frozen. This is the third time this winter that our water has froze!!!
Well as it just so happens, Eric is out of town for work. I called him at 5:45 this morning bawling and freaking out. He was so good and patient with me! He said that he could call a plumber and get someone out there to take care of the water. But I didn't want to have to do that so instead he instructed me on what to do. I got bundled up as best as I could seeming as how it was -34 degrees outside. I had on Eric's HUGE carharts, a flannel jacket, a winter coat, three pairs of socks, the worst snow boots in the world, and cute fashionable gloves, gloves that should not be warn in the winter. They are more suited for fall... My feet and fingers were frozen after about 10 minutes of being outside. I came back inside and stood by my electric heater for a while. I called Eric about a million times. I bet he could hardly understand me because of my frozen lungs and my sobbing. I worked on the pipes until about 8:30.
By this time I was officially frozen. I called Eric and said I can't do this anymore I am too cold. He told me that was totally fine and that he would get it taken care of. But after warming up a little bit I figured I would give it one more shot. I tried calling some people for some help but no one answered. I finally got ahold of my cousin Tyler. His car wouldnt start and the hood was frozen shut so he couldn't jump it. So our friend Ben Skinner offered to come out to my house with him and help out. They got to my place at about 9:30. We spent another two hours out in the freezing cold but eventually we got the water unthawed. BEST. FEELING. EVER.
I am so so so so so so thankful for Tyler and Ben and their willingness to come and stand out in negative degree weather for 2 hours for me! I don't know what I would do without my family and friends!!!!!! They take such good care of me while Eric is away working his butt off to support us!
