I had an adult's night out last night. Woohoo! Hadn't had one of those in forever. I went to dinner and then to an a capella concert with my baby brother. We saw two of the what I consider to be the best a capella groups out there...Chapter 6 and Naturally7. It was soooooo much fun!

About 6 months ago one of the toilets broke and after we had it fixed the repairman suggested we not use it anymore until we could splurge and have the piping redone to provide outside access and pipes without so many sharps turns and corners.
