Today started out very exciting! We got the ground all tilled and leveled for planting grass seed. We laid down all the starter fertilizer, seed, and peat moss and then Mike noticed a huge wet spot in our existing grass area. He started digging and noticed that water kept coming up!
WE HAVE A BROKEN PIPE FROM OUR WELL TO OUR HOUSE!!!!
And that's just the beginning of it. We attempted to solve it on our own and quickly noticed that it was beyond our skills, I guess I should say Mikes. (I was just watching.)
So we have an excavator come over and he tells us that whoever did our pipe was either a dumby or it was a homeowner that didn't know what they were doing. Needless to say we are all dirty and have no way of showering, flushing the toilet, and drinking water, ect. And this is going to be a very expensive fix.
Life...it really is a bummer sometimes, but I guess it needs to be that way so when things are smooth you really appreciate and savor those good times.

What a bummer! Hopefully the pipe will be fixed and you will be back in business SOON!
Oh my gosh cy!! I feel soo bad for you, but i totally know how you feel! A few years back our pipes froze! (so we thought) We were without water for a week! It was miserable!
But we realized why the Savior refers to himself as "Living Water." Living without water is misery! As you are experiencing. And once you get that water flowing again, it truly feels like a miracle. Going without water is a testimony builder, it sucks for the time being but once you get it back you will see what I mean. Good luck, and hang in there.
I totally know that feeling. Growing up we always had our pipes freeze...no fuun at all! It does make us more aware of the Luxuries that we enjoy. Glad you were prepared and all is well :)
