Ah, independence!

I forgot to add a couple stories that I have experienced since becoming independent! The duplex I moved into has no closet, so my brother suggested I get a chin up bar (since those are used to holding very manly men!) to hang my clothes on. I thought it was a marvelous idea and would be super easy to accomplish. So, I got one from Walmart and broke out my awesome new drill. Well- halfway through the drill bit FROZE! I started to pull the drill back out, but the drillbit decided it wanted to stay put in the wall. What a lovely drill bit! I then tried to pull it out with my hand...... and it BROKE! If you look closely, the bottom left- you will see the tidbit that stayed behind. I tried to drill a screw in, and lo and behold, that got stuck as well. Long story short- thanks to a guy in my ward who had a bigger, more powerful drill- I was able to finally hang my clothes up and get them off of my dining room table. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Happy day!

Second story- I got a little pantry to go in my kitchen and proceeded to put it together. I was SO proud of myself because it was going so quickly. I finally nailed 38 TINY nails onto the back to hold it in place and realized- I had put all 3 shelves in the wrong spots!!!! Can we say- pride cometh before the fall!!! So, I had to pry ALL 38 tiny nails off of the back and take it all apart again.......

I have to say, I am not quite as handy as I liked to think of myself. But, what can you do?! Haha, maybe next time I won't pray for patience! ;)
