New Washing Machine

This past weekend was our first time getting to use our new washing machine. If you read back in our posts from earlier this year (Valentine's Day and Easter), you know we have been having some serious issues with our washer for quite some time now. Specifically, it seemed to overflow at any random time. In an attempt to save money, we tried to baby it and get it to last as long as possible, but I had finally had enough a few weekends ago.

Bethany was coming to visit the first weekend of June. Matt and I were finishing up cleaning the house and doing to laundry before she got here from Columbia. On the last load it over flowed. I had to go to Wal-Mart at 11:45pm to get a shopvac. NOT HAPPY

So, long story sort of shortened, we decided to get a new washer. We shopped and compared, etc. and finally decided on the GE Colossal Capacity Top Load washer from Lowe's. It was on sale from $699 to $450 plus we had a coupon for $25 off. Free delivery and carry off was great too.

In addition to the conservation of water, we were so happy with the added room the new washer had. Our previous washer was from when I went off to college in 2003. What we used to consider a "super" load is now a medium. We have decreased our weekly laundry from 5+ loads to only 3.

Sadie was so happy about the new addition that she did her high-fives for us!
