My husband and I had been wanting to get the air conditioning fixed in our car for quite some time, but we kept putting it off because of how expensive it was going to be.

We had driven the car without air conditioning for about a year, and it was miserable.

We live down south, and it is warm for most of the year. It hardly gets below fifty degrees here. We use air conditioning all the time, especially during the summer months. It was so hard to go without air conditioning this past summer. You would think that driving around in a car without air conditioning when it was ninety degrees outside would cause us to go get our air conditioning fixed, but it didn’t. We were too stubborn. We did not want to pay the money to have it fixed. We finally caved in last September. It was still very warm outside, and we were about to take a road trip. We were going on vacation, but the resort that we were staying at was about five hundred miles northwest of where we live. My husband and I both knew that it would be a miserable trip if we did not get the air conditioning fixed before we went, so we took the car to a mechanic and had them replace the air conditioning line that was leaking. The mechanic ended up giving us a discount, so it did not cost as much as we thought it would. I really wish that we would have taken it sooner, but the past is in the past, I guess.

It is not quite as new, but at least we have air conditioning

My husband and I do not have the best luck when it comes to picking good apartments. The last apartment that we lived in was super nice, but the air conditioning did not work. We tried telling our landlord that it did not work, but he just ignored the issue. We waited an entire year for him to fix it, but he did not. After a year of living without air conditioning, we finally decided that it was time to move. I was super bummed about moving in one sense because I really loved the apartment that we lived in. It had two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen had been completely remodeled, and it was beautiful. My husband loved that apartment too, but it just was not practical because the air conditioning did not work. We did not want to have to buy a window unit when the cost of air conditioning was already fit into our rent. I am sure that my husband could have fixed the air conditioner himself, but he refused to fix it because that was not his job. He told our landlord that he would be willing to help him fix the air conditioning if he would just come over and look at it or hire someone to fix it. It is all over now because we moved to a new apartment. It is not quite as new, but at least we have air conditioning. We are hoping to find another more modern apartment in the future. We just have to make sure that AC works before we agree to rent it.

I am so bad at waiting for things.

I totally have that mindset of “I want it now.” I know that it is not a good mindset, but our culture has certainly made it possible to get things right away.

I find that most people have trouble waiting for things nowadays. Something that I recently had to wait for was my new air conditioner. It was so terrible. I ended up having to wait about two weeks for it. I was told that it would only take about a week to arrive in the mail, but there was a supposed delay, and it did not end up coming for another whole week. My husband can tell you just how impatient I was when it came to waiting for that air conditioner. Looking back, it was sort of ridiculous. I whined about it almost every single day. Of course, we did not have air conditioning for two weeks, and it was super hot outside. Our house got up to eighty-five degrees at one point, so it makes sense to be a little unhappy about the wait, but I really did take it too far. I called the company about ten times asking why it was so late. The poor people that I talked to could not do anything about it. They just listened patiently as I rambled on about how upset I was. I really wish that I could go back and apologized to each individual that I talked to. I finally got my air conditioner in the mail yesterday, and I am super happy. I do regret complaining, but it truly was miserable not having air conditioning for those two weeks.

My husband and I just celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary.

I cannot believe that it has been twenty years since I married the man of my dreams.

I love him more today than ever, and I hope to spend the rest of my life with him. My husband and I went to a really pretty resort for our honeymoon, and for our twentieth anniversary we wanted to go back to the same place that we stayed at during our honeymoon. Unfortunately, they tore the resort down a couple of years ago and built a nice hotel in its place. We decided to book a few nights in the hotel since it would be close to the same location that we spent our honeymoon at. The hotel was so beautiful and new, but we had trouble with our air conditioner. It was so hard to figure out how to work the air conditioner in the first place, so we had to call the front desk and asked them how to operate the air conditioner. Once we figure it out, we realized that the air conditioner was not blowing as cool as it was supposed to. Our hotel room was very warm and stuffy. I was not happy with it because we were paying a lot of money to stay there, so I asked a manager if we could get another room with working air conditioning. They offered to fix our air conditioner instead, and I accepted. It took them about five hours, and they came to the conclusion that they needed to move us to a new room anyways. We moved, and we did not have anymore issues with air conditioning after that.

I am the definition of a free spirit.

It drives my husband crazy, but I always remind him that he knew what he was getting into before he married me.

I try my best to think things through before I do them, but I tend to be quite brash. My husband is certainly more of a nerd, and he helps to calm me down and get me to think logically instead of emotionally. I also tend to overlook problems just hoping that they will get better on their own, but it never happens. I tried overlooking the problems that the furnace has been having, but I do not think that I will be able to overlook the issues much longer. Our furnace completely turned off a couple of nights ago, and it was terrible. It was off for almost an entire day, and my husband and I came home to a thirty-four degree house. Of course, this was the first time that my husband heard that the furnace was having issues because I was ignoring the signs. My husband asked me if that was the first time the furnace had problems, and I told him that it was not. The furnace had turned off a couple of other times, but I was home at those times, so I just turned it back on. My husband was a little upset that I did not tell him that the furnace had turned off a couple of times before. He took a look at the furnace and found that it is going to need to be replaced soon. I really need to stop ignoring problems and just fix them right away.
