BRRRRRR!!!

Just a little "funny" from last night. We are now hosting a Bible study in our home on Sundays. I was busy cleaning up some last minute spots that needed tidying (I had cut a bunch of fabric for a baby blanket and desperately needed to vacuum), and I was feeling pretty warm when I was done. Matt is *always* hot, so I just decided to turn off the heater for a little bit.

After Bible study, one of the couples invited us to come over later for dinner, so we fed Sammy after everyone left and then got ourselves ready to go have dinner with them. We had a tasty dinner and really enjoyed visiting with them. When we came back home, I was struck by how COLD it was in our house. Matt commented on it, too, but I said, "Let's just grab a fleece blanket. We're going to bed soon anyway." So, we made do for an hour or so. When we DID head for bed, I did a double take as I passed the thermostat. In the winter, we normally set the heater to a cool 67. There aren't THAT many cold months in FL, and usually if we're still chilly at 67, a sweatshirt or blanket does the trick. Anyway, the thermostat said it was 61 in our house!! I forgot to turn the heater back on! BRRRRRRRRR!!! I laughed and told Matt (as I turned the heater on and gladly heard/felt warm air begin wooshing through the vents). I'm so thankful we caught that mistake, and we got to sleep snug as a bug in a rug! :)

Thanks for sharing the story. Heaters are a blessing, huh? It's COLD here tonight too.

I love you!
