The new "decoration" in my bedroom!

 While getting ready for bed last night I heard a hissing noise.  I thought it was a toy or something that was running out of batteries, so I searched around and found wet carpet!!  Figured out there was a leak in a pipe behind the wall.  Thanks to some great home teacher neighbors and Jon who came to help figure out what to do!
 We turned off the water to the house and called the plumber first thing this morning.  He came right over and cut a hole in the wall and found the leak.  Evidently the pipe must have had a small leak for a long time and "plugged" itself with the heavy mineral deposits in our water.  Then I guess the plug just gave out.

*Side note* After taking off the baseboard I found the paint color from when we first moved into the house. Green walls and green carpet.  Someone must have LOVED green!

 We were blessed to catch it before the whole house flooded and it looks like there isn't too much damage to the wood, just soggy carpet and drywall.  So we are hoping we can dry everything out quickly and avoid a really big mess (Although I kinda wish that the whole house would have flooded so I could have gotten new carpet. :0)  Not really, that would have been rotten!)
 So, that's my excitement for the day...just waiting for carpet to dry and for Erick Guthrie to get home from a scout camping trip so he can fix my dry wall! :0)
