Winterizing...

So this past weekend, we started to winterize our apartment, since it is started to SNOW this weekend!! First off, our apartment is part of a house that is like 100 years old, so winterizing it is no small task. We have three windows in our apartment, one in our room, one in the living room, and one in the kitchen. All three are probably the original windows glass and all. The window in the kitchen has had a small crack in it since we moved in, although I did not discover it until we has been there for at least a month! The window in our room shattered about a month ago, but we have had the fan in the window until this weekend so it had not mattered. And the window in our living room cracked this past week! Talk about a mess!!! Normally this is something that the landlord should take care of, but we replacing them and deducting them from our rent. Trevor spent the afternoon on Friday sealing the windows in the kitchen and living rooms, and they are ok for now. On Saturday Trevor's dad came over and helped Trevor put a new window in our room. It has made a tremendous difference to have all the windows sealed up correctly!! Yesterday I made some wind stoppers to go underneath our door, I had some extra flannel material and batting and it came in handy! Hopefully our apartment will be warmer this year.
Aside from winterizing, we had my little brother stay with us on Saturday night. He is a sophomore this year and is just starting to date, so we had a fun time teasing him about his girlfriends. I made roast for Sunday dinner last night, and we had some rented movies that we watched. All in all it was a good weekend.
