It's Getting Hot in Herrrrre!...

... so take off all your clothes. (I am getting so hot, I wanna take my clothes off.)

Let me tell you something, not having AC in the middle of summer is not something I would recommend.

We came back from dinner on Saturday only to find that our A/C died... and that's no fun. And the best part is that we are leaving for our vacation this Wednesday and there is no time to get it fixed before we leave.

So we toughed it out Saturday night. We had the ceiling fans going and the kids were still hot upstairs, but they slept well (I guess). Min and I moved the bed back under the ceiling fan and were fine.

Betsy had invited us to Hazel's blessing and we skipped out of our church and headed north to attend with them. We stayed until 7 PM and then came back to a somewhat "cool" house (88° inside).

It was a little warmer that night for the kids, so we opened their windows but the humidity crept in and it was quite the sauna.

We got up this morning for a 4th of July activity at the church, and while were in the breakfast line, Alex got sick. Must have been the heat. But with a little water he was back to normal in no time flat.

While we were there we shared our plight with some members of the ward and found out that we are the third family in our neighborhood (from the ward) to have their AC die on them. We explained to them that we have the second AC unit in the office for the computers and we were going to put all the "stuff we don't want to melt" up there and keep it on 78°s the whole time.

We received alot of offers to go over to peoples home and cool off, but Min and I decided that we are going to stay in tonight, let the kids sleep and we'll pack, then head out tomorrow, stay over in a hotel with a pool and finish the trip to Phoenix on Wednesday (since our friends are returning from their trip Tuesday, we don't want to show up on their doorstep early).

Then when we get back from our trip we'll under go the task of getting it fixed.

It'll be a few miserable days until it does get fixed, but we can tough it out then.

Anyways, that's it.

And no, I'm not sitting here typing this naked in front of a fan.

I really don't want to know if either of you wish you were. But good idea on leaving early and staying in a hotel. Have a fun trip.
