Guess what guess what guess WHAT!? As of 3 weeks ago, I am the proud and happy owner...actually renter...of none other than *drum roll* a washer and dryer!!
That's right, for the first time in our married life, we have a real washer and dryer in our house!! No more laundromats, no more going to the gas station for coins, and no more dealing with other people's sunflower seeds and band-aids floating amongst my underthings!! It feels like I already had my Christmas in October!
Within an hour of installation I'd begun washing everything we own and since then, nothing has escaped my new passion. Even the couch pillows were stripped of their dusty covers and found themselves washed to a brand new shade of....whatever color they are. Tan? Bone? Off white?
Anyway. Not only do we have this luxury in our very laps, but they are completely new, front loading, stackable, and High efficiency! Our laundry hasn't been this clean or smelled this nice in three years. Apparently the 25 minute agitation at the laundromat doesn't actually do a sufficient job.
Justin and I are quite happy with our new place. We dream of owning our own place some day but are very content to be where we're currently at. Over the next few months we hope to acquire a few helpful items like a pantry and a bookshelf and a vacuum which will improve the situation even more. I will post some pictures...but first I have to clean.

it is good to hear from you! Isn;t it wonderful to have a washer and dryer after laundrymats? i know when I got my first one after about 4 years of washing at the laundrymat...I was so amazed at how nice and clean they get!
Where have you moved?
Mmmmm.... I know exactly how you feel. I was lovingly washing my Bosch front loading washer today and thinking to myself..."My I do love you. You work so hard for me and here you are always faithfully waiting so near by. You deal with all manner of nastiness, poopy diapers, muddy coats, grease and barn dirt with such efficiency... You are one of my favorite things!" I also used other laundromats and other peoples washers for several years. My washer is extra special to me because I bought with my own cash.

Congratulations on your new washer/dryer!!! Martha and I were talking the other day about this Jane Austin story where they were complaining about only having two servants. As we were huffing about how we don't have any servants:-) I counted all mine: dishwasher, washer, dryer, well pump etc...our modern day servants. Things I tend to take for granted:-/
