My favorite part about our new house is that it has air conditioning

I have wanted air conditioning for so long, and now, we are finally moving into a house with air conditioning

I cannot even express how excited I am to move into our new house. I really love where we live now, but I think that is only for sentimental reasons. The house we are in now really is not all that great. It is over one hundred years old, and it has a lot of issues. We don’t own any land right now which also stinks. Our new house is much newer and larger. It also sits on almost three acres of land, and I am so excited to move in. I think my favorite part of our new house is the fact that it has air conditioning. I know that may sound funny to some people, but we have never had air conditioning in our house. The house is so old that we are afraid to run something like an air conditioner in it. We just really aren’t sure that the wiring in our house could handle that much power going to one place. It has been quite miserable during the summer months in this house. It gets very warm, especially upstairs. I wish that we could move even sooner, but I am willing to wait if it means we get a nice house with air conditioning. I literally had a dream about having air conditioning last night. I know, it is sort of ridiculous how much I want air conditioning, but I just can’t help it. I have wanted air conditioning for so long, and now, we are finally moving into a house with air conditioning. It is going to be a big adjustment for sure, but I can’t wait.

I no longer use my space heater

I used to use my space heater every single day 24/7.

It was like my best friend.

I love being nice and warm wherever I went, so I took my space heater all throughout the house with me. It is quite chilly for most of the year where I am living, so having a space heater was really nice. I used my space heater up until last month. My little boy, Sam, is now six months old, and he gets around a bit more than he used to. He still is not quite crawling yet, but he is doing pretty well, finding ways to scoot across the floor. Well, I had my space heater on in the living room just like I usually do, and somehow little Sam got all the way to the space heater on the opposite side of the room within just a minute or so. I literally turned my back for just a minute or so to clean something, and next thing I knew, Sam was screaming. He touched the space heater and burnt his little hand. I haven’t used a space heater since that day. I know that it was my fault, and I am so upset with myself about it. I don’t think that I will ever use my space heater again. I am way too paranoid about it now. Thankfully, the space heater doesn’t get very hot, so it did not even leave a mark on his hand, but I still feel so bad about it. No more space heaters for this momma.

It is nice to finally have heat in my car

I went an entire month this winter without any heat in my car.

It was quite a miserable month, to say the least.

I have an hour drive to work and back each day. It was so cold, and I dreaded having to drive anywhere, especially to work. My husband tried to figure out why the heat wasn’t working, but he just couldn’t diagnose the problem. He is not a mechanic, but he has done some mechanical work in the past, so he thought he would at least give it a try. I wish that he could have fixed the heating issue, but he just couldn’t. We ended up taking my car to a mechanic and asking them to diagnose the problem. We paid them to tell us what was wrong, but my husband wanted to fix it. They told us the problem, and my husband was able to replace the part that they told him to for a lot less money than they would have charged us. We were so excited to have heat again, but when we turned the heat on in the car, it still did not work. Long story short, the mechanic had misdiagnosed the problem. My husband did not do anything wrong. He replaced the part that they told him to. It was just the wrong part. We ended up having to take it back to the mechanic, and they fixed it, but it was super pricey. I want to complain about it in my heart, but at the same time, it is super nice to have heat in my car once again.

I wish our cabin had air conditioning

My husband and I absolutely love to go on getaways a few times a year.

We have found that it does wonders not only for our personal lives but for our marriage as well.

It is so nice to be able to relax and not have to worry about work or the general stress of life. We usually get away about two times per year, but we wish that we could even more often. A few years back, we bought a cabin so that we would always have a place to go on our getaways. It is a small but cute cabin, and we really like it. The only thing that we wish we would have considered before buying it is the fact that it doesn’t have air conditioning. We wish so badly that we would have bought a cabin with air conditioning, but we have to make do with what we have. We bring two window units, and we put one air conditioner in the living room window and one air conditioner in the kitchen window. Sadly, the bedrooms do not have windows in them, so it gets quite warm in them. We actually find ourselves sleeping in the living room more often than not. It is just so much cooler in there since there is an air conditioner right in the room. My husband is seriously considering adding one or two windows to each bedroom so that we can put air conditioners in the bedrooms as well as have some natural light in them. I really hope that he ends up doing it because I would love to sleep in an air-conditioned bedroom in our cabin.

I am sick of using my dehumidifiers

I have the most humid house on earth it seems like.

I have no idea why my house gets so humid, but it does almost the entire summer, fall, and spring.

Winter is the only time of year that I don’t have to worry about my house being super humid. I have a central air conditioning system which you would think would take care of the moisture, but it does not do a very good job. I am sure that if I did not have air conditioning at all, it would be much worse, so I am thankful to at least have some type of air conditioning in my house. I actually called an HVAC technician a few years ago to come out and check out my air conditioner. They could not find anything wrong with it. They said that it seemed to be running in tip top shape. They had no explanation for why my house is so humid. I was sort of upset that I had to pay for an HVAC company to come over just to tell me that there was nothing wrong with my air conditioner. I have been using three dehumidifiers in my house for the past few years because that is the only way that I can manage all of this humidity. I am so sick of emptying the dehumidifiers. It is truly a pain to have to empty them every single day. I could probably empty them twice a day, that is how bad it is. I am thinking about moving just because of this humidity issue. I am not sure yet, but I am seriously considering it.

My favorite part about the summer is being able to use air conditioning

I love the summertime so much.

My husband hates the summer because he does not like the heat.

It is hard for him to stay cool during the summer months especially because he works outside. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for him, but he really loves his job, so he does not want to quit to work somewhere inside. I don’t like the heat very much either, but I do like air conditioning. I know that sounds really weird, but I like the summertime just because I like air conditioning. I told my husband that if I could use air conditioning all year long without feeling weird about it, I would. I have used my air conditioner during the spring and fall when it was still only like fifty degrees outside. I just love the feeling of an air conditioned house. My favorite is when my bedroom is air conditioned. It is hard to justify using an air conditioner in my bedroom during the winter months, so I just don’t even try anymore. The reason that I say anymore is because I used to try and justify it to my husband. I used to use an air conditioner in our bedroom during the winter just because I liked the feeling of it, but my husband got upset with me for wasting electricity. I guess he is probably right about it being a waste of money and energy. Winter can not pass fast enough for me. I just can’t wait for the summertime when I can get out my air conditioners and have a nice cool house again.

I think I might need a new furnace

Everyone has rough days, weeks, or even months.

  • I am going through one of those rough months.

It just seems like so many things have gone wrong this month. My car broke down, I lost the keys to my house, and now, I think that I might need a new furnace. Thankfully, I was able to get my car fixed by a friend who only charged me half the price that any other mechanic would. I was not able to find my keys, but I am having some new ones made including a spare so that this never happens again. The furnace is my main concern now. I had it serviced this past fall, and the HVAC technician said that something was wrong with it, but he also said that the problem could or could not be serious. He told me that he had seen furnaces go on with the same issue as mine has for many years, but he has also seen some that quit within just weeks. Unfortunately, I think mine may be one of those that quits. It has been acting strangely lately. It randomly turns off before the house is up to temperature, and I have to go turn it back on manually. It will eventually turn back on by itself, but it is usually not until the house is super chilly, and I hate having a chilly house. I called an HVAC company yesterday, and they are going to have someone come out tomorrow to look at my furnace again. Hopefully, I will get good news unlike the news I have been getting so far this month.

My husband bought another space heater

I love my husband so much, and we have gotten along super well throughout our fifteen years of marriage. We try our best to put each other’s needs and wants before our own, and it works out wonderfully when we do. We have found that the only times that we really fight are when one or both of us are being selfish. I don’t think that we have had a fight or argument in almost three years now. It is so wonderful to be married to someone who values you and puts you first. Although we have not fought, it does not mean that we don’t have disagreements. One of our main disagreements has to do with my husband’s obsession with space heaters. He does not think that it is an obsession, and maybe it’s not quite an obsession, but he certainly has too many space heaters. We have seven electric space heaters, four propane heaters, and two kerosene heaters. I don’t know why we need all of these heaters. Our furnace works well, and the only rooms that are chilly are the laundry room and the garage. We put one electric space heater in the laundry room, and it is warm in there now. The garage takes two kerosene or propane heaters, and it is heated. There is no reason we need so many space heaters, but my husband wants to have extra just in case we need them. I guess I will have to learn to deal with it for now. He is trying to sell a few of them which is great.

I bought a little heater to go in our baby’s bedroom

I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love my little baby.

I knew that becoming a mom would change my life, but it has been so much more than I ever dreamed it would be.

Do not get me wrong, it is a lot of hard work and sleepless nights, but I would not trade it for the world. Our little boy is now seven months old, and I just switched him from sleeping in our bedroom to sleeping in his own bedroom in his crib. He actually did a great job with the switch. He did not really seem to notice that he moved rooms, and I think that is because he is such a good sleeper. He started sleeping through the night at about eight weeks old. I was a little concerned about how chilly it gets in his bedroom sometimes, so I decided to look into buying a little space heater to go in his room. I did not want just any old space heater because they worry me. My mom actually caught her house on fire when she was younger by plugging a space heater into an outlet that was not made for it. I did a lot of research, and I found a space heater that was supposed to be really safe, and I made sure that the outlet that I was using would be safe as well. I just used the space heater for the first time last night, and it definitely warmed up his room quite a bit. I am really happy that I do not have to worry about him being cold anymore.

I bought a new fireplace for a really good price

I absolutely love living out in the country with my family.

We literally live out in the middle of nowhere.

My husband used to call me a crazy hillbilly when we first got married, but now he enjoys our way of life just as much as I do. We grow most of our own food, and we have cows, chickens, and pigs that provide us with meat and dairy products. We really only go into town to go to church and visit with friends. I really like our simple way of living. I love our old farmhouse as well. My parents built it about fifty years ago, and we have made so many good memories here. One of my favorite parts about the house is the fireplace. I can remember sitting on my dad’s knee beside the fireplace while he read me books almost every single evening. I never thought that I would buy a new fireplace because of the sentimental value of the old one, but I was offered it for a really low price, and I fell in love with the way that it looked. I actually ended up calling my dad about it and asking him if it was something that he would buy, and he agreed that it was a great price for the quality of the fireplace. I ended up buying the fireplace, and I am in the process of installing it now. I am keeping a lot of the old stonework around the fireplace the same, so it will not look too much different. I am really excited about this new fireplace and about all the memories that will be made around it.
