Blessings in a Broken Refrigerator

Yesterday our freezer went out, we noticed when our ice cream was liquid, gross. We quickly shut the freezer door and put it on a lower temperature setting to hopefully get something working again. Of course, that didn't work. I also noticed that the fridge wasn't cooling anymore either. No bueno. As usual when something breaks Chad is traveling for business.
As I sat back planning my game plan to get things back up and running I couldn't help but feel really lucky. I know it is a weird feeling to have when a major necessary appliance stops working but I couldn't help it.
I felt incredibly lucky that I have another full size refrigerator and a separate deep freezer in our mud room. I started moving things out of our kitchen fridge/freezer and into our other two perfectly functioning appliances. After that I once again felt lucky (and smart!) that to fix my fridge all I had to do was log into our home warranty website and put in a service request. Our technician just left our home (almost exactly 24 hours after I asked for help) and at a minimum he will have to replace the computer in our fridge, probably the compressor too and at the worst the entire fridge. No matter the damage all I will pay is $75. I am so glad that Chad and I kept up with a home warranty after our first year in our home. When we closed on our house our awesome Realtor team (http://www.shepherdnelsonrealty.com) bought us a home warranty for a year as a gift, Chad and I decided to continue purchasing a warranty and it has already paid for itself.
So, as I sit waiting for a few more days for my fridge parts to come in to be fixed all I see are blessings and know that it will all be ok!

Until next time, count your blessings! :)
