So Wright, So Wrong!

Friday was an important day for one member of the Wright family, after enduring many hours at our favorite government building, Kyle got his permit.

So Wright!

So Wrong. Sorry Kyle, there is just something wrong with this picture!

And, for a few more Wright's and Wrong's this weekend:
Last week our microwave went out. We really can't complain, we got 15 years of heavy duty, faithful service from our GE Dualwave III. As you would imagine it is obsolete, which is ok except for the fact that it is mounted into the cabinets so it would have been very convenient to replace it with the same one or the latest version thereof. No such luck, and no luck finding a new microwave with dimensions that would fit the existing trim kit. So off we go to Harlow's, I'm into one stop shopping and besides the salesman would know what a trim kit was. We bought the microwave and ordered the new trim kit. Voila this weekend Craig installed our new microwave.
Our kitchen is a little dated (alot dated) and could use a total remodel, however that is not in the current budget so I debated about buying a new white microwave to go with our 90's white on white kitchen, or to update with stainless steel, for who knows what appliance may go out next and maybe we should just start with a stainless microwave. It looks good, what do you think?
Ok, it looks really good until you happen to see it with the white ovens.
So WRONG! But I'm just going to have to get used to it because those ovens (knock on wood) have been the best ovens and there's not a darn thing wrong with them, unless I was doing the total remodel there's no way I'm replacing them now.
If replacing the microwave weren't enough we also got something else new this weekend. What fun thing could that be I am sure you are wondering, well take a look:

That friends and family is a brand new 75 gallon water heater and new recirculating hot water pump. While hot water is one of those necessary luxuries in life, calling replacing the hot water heater "fun" is so Wrong! To add insult to injury while the plumber was still there working on this beast one of the garage doors went out, and I still am waiting for the roofer to return my call. Can I take solace in the fact that the house seems to be falling apart faster than Craig and me. I suppose that is a good thing.

What else could possibly be wrong about this weekend, well.....the St. George Marathon has this deal called the Runners Series. The deal is if you run two Washington County (St. George) races you get guaranteed entry into the St. George marathon. That sounded like a good deal to Kev and me so we signed up. The first race was yesterday.

We signed up for the 5k, it seemed like a logical choice, to get one race done before the weather started getting cold. The plan was for Craig, Kev, Kyle and Brad and me to go up Friday after the boys got out of school, Kev and I would run the race at 9:00 am and then we would all ride the loop part of the Ironman course before heading home. Well, things like the DMV, the plumber, oh yeah and Brad's sea kayaking trip on Saturday kinda got in the way. Just Kevin and I ended up going. We left at 1:00 am, drove to St. George, ran the race and drove home. Crazy, crazy. So Wright, So Wrong! But, maybe we should do crazy things like this more often, Kev was third overall and 1st in his age group and I was second in my age group (yes kids, there were more than two, actually eight!).

And just one more last Wrong, BYU lost.
