Oh the joys of apartment living!!

As we are in the process of looking to buy a house in Utah...I must say today I am very thankful to be an apartment renter I know strange it may seem. but this morning Gerry and I were awaken by our little Lauren, "EWE disgusting!" Lauren said "What it is?" I asked still half asleep. "The baby spit up!" as Lauren was tip toeing out of our bedroom doorway. "What" That got me awake since the baby was laying in bed with me. As I looked down from my bed to see our entire master bath, bedroom, closest dining room, and hall closet ...flooded!! Yes soaking wet!! I will spare you the details and pictures...but as my entire master closet and hall closet sit in my living room...now just a walk way and 1/2 couch, with 5 fans blowing my ripped up carpet...I am so thankful to be renting!! I can't imagine how different my feelings would be about the mess we are living in if it also was leaving a dent in my checking account. I am so excited to buy a home...but oh the benefits of renting! :) At least I will have to remind myself this in a couple days when I hear the upstairs teenagers jumping off their couch!! What a happy day!
