The "Gypsy Curse" is part of our karma. We aren't sure what we did in a past life to deserve the bad luck that tends to come our way, but somehow, we hid from it on Saturday!!!
A little history.....when we moved two weeks ago one of Troy's computer servers went missing. By missing we mean we really had no idea where it was. One minute it was sitting at the top of the stairs ready to move to the apartment. The next minute no one--not even the movers--know where it is. Losing this server is a big deal. Troy uses it to connect to the Federal Drug Administration for work. They frown upon their servers being missing.
We had speculated on the whereabouts for two weeks. I was convinced the movers had liberated it. Troy was watching for it to go on sale on Craigslist. Neither of us were optimistic.
We are very fortunate to have great friends in the Ecton and Melton families. I have no pictures to share but hope my words will do it justice. They woke up early on a Saturday morning. They drove 40 miles across town to our storage unit. They helped us move and view insides of every single box in storage. 3/4 of the way through the hunt, we found the missing server! And NAS and battery back up. Oh, and we found the missing CD and DVD box. But the most important thing was the server. That was good luck #1.
After searching through storage, the Ectons and Meltons came over for chicken enchilada casserole and cherry pie. It was the first time we've had a group over to the new place. Having friends who are like family spend time in your house sure makes it feel like a home. A huge thank you to both families!
The second piece of good luck involved the alarm going off at the old house. When Brinks calls, we tend to get nervous. I went to the old house to see what the alarm was about. Turns out the battery back had failed and just needed to be disconnected. Good luck #2.
Our final good luck involved a little bit of unexpected time as a couple. Megan went to her best friend's house----also named Megan by the way. Our Megan is now "Meg" while Megan Kennedy is still "Megan". Anyways, Meg was at Megan's house to watch movies. She was planning to come home but they decided on a sleepover. Troy and I used this unexpected time to go to our favorite joint Fuzzy's for a cocktail and chips and guacamole. Good luck #3.
Saturday is one of those days that should go down in history as perfect!
Congrats on the Trifecta! When reading the title line, I thought it would be another Trifecta of H*ll! I'm glad I was wrong. Ang
