Our refrigerator has been dying a slow death the past few weeks. Sometimes things were cold, and sometimes they were just cool. We called and talked to a repair man and he suggested we try unplugging it for a few hours to allow it to "reset". That didn't work. So we debated about whether to have a repairman come to check it out or just go and get a new one. We finally decided that we would just save the money for a repairman to come and just put it towards a new refrigerator. We looked online, and at two Lowe's stores. We were just about to buy one at Lowe's when we decided to go to Sears to check out their selection.....maybe because of this or this commercial. ( haha! That guy cracks me up!) Anyway, we get to Sears and it seems at first that they don't even have anything in the price range we were trying to stay in. We did see a returned one that was close to our price that we liked, but when we walked back over to it (seriously like less than a minute later) it was SOLD. Dang it! So we looked around a little more. We found a really nice Kenmore (Elite, actually) that we really liked. The sales lady told us it was the last one and it was 50% off the original price! Except that even at half price it was a good bit more than we wanted to spend. However, we decided that this deal was too good to pass up. So we got it. We came home and told the kids and you would have thought we'd told them we won the lottery. They were so excited! It was quite amusing to see kids get so excited about an appliance! You see, we have never had an ice maker, much less and ice and water dispenser. So they think we are big time now. And I have to admit....I never knew what I was missing. It's so nice to have ice all the time and not have to worry about filling up those stupid trays! And the kids can get their own water, which is a huge bonus! LOVE it! I told Aaron that it's too bad it's only July....cuz if it had been December we could have just put a bow on the frig and called it good! ;)
