Another Hot day / Service for a friend

Ok so it was 95 today and it felt like 110. I wish it would cool down just a little bit but it doesn't seem like it is going to happen. The weather man said that it is suppose to be in the high 90's all week. I'm not looking forward to that at all.

On to other things. So as I was checking my Facebook today I saw a post from a friend of mine saying that her sister and brother-in-law were going to be at her house at around 2:30 and she would love to have some help from anyone who could spare the time to unload the 24 ft truck they were bring with them. I quickly jumped on and said I would be there. She thanked me and I said it was no prob cause that's what friends are for right. Anyway in the process I was talking to Michelle about a couple of things and mentioned that Niki ( our friend) needed help and if she could spare some time to come and help unload. At that point Niki texted me to tell me they were there and so I told the kids to stop the movie they were watching and told Dale to put his shoes on that we had to leave. He said why and I told him that Niki was in need of some service and that we were going to help. On our way to Niki's house I saw a truck that looked like Michelle's and thought that might be her but she got there fast. What I didn't know was that she was already out and about. We got to Niki's house at the same time. There was a total of 13 people that showed up to help unload the truck. I think it took a total of about 45 mins to completely unload it. Then we helped move things around so that everything would fit in the house. The funniest part of the whole day was watching 6 men try and figure out how to get a refrigerator into the house after Niki's sister had already told them that they would have to take the doors off. They took one of the doors off but not the other and thought they could manage. Yeah needless to say they made it to the front door and then got stuck. Finally they listened and took the other door off all though it couldn't come all the way off because of the water line. So anyway they got it in the house and up the stairs and into its place in the kitchen. It was the greatest thing ever to see. Mean while all us girls just sat and watched the big strong men do this. He he he. I didn't have my camera with me but Michelle took some pictures with her phone so I will try and get those later to put on here. After it was all done we had pizza and talked for a bit longer. Just before Dale and I had to leave so that he could get ready for work Christie came by to visit. I wish I could have stayed longer and chatted. Anyway we got home and the kids finished watching the movie they had started and then went to bed. Now I am finishing up this post and hitting the hay myself. After all we do have church tomorrow.

Blog at you later.
