In case you haven't heard, we had a little flood in our apartment on Saturday night. Actually, the washing machine overflowed while we were at a birthday party. We were gone for about 2 1/2 hours, and when we got home we were greeted by a maintenance guy and a neighbor who were trying to figure out where all the water was coming from. Of course or apartment was soaked and there was water leaking to the apartment below us. Our entire apartment, except Evan's room, had about 2 inches of water. All and all they sucked out about 400 gallons of water!! Luckily, there was not a lot of personal property damage for us or the people below us. However, our carpet is still a little damp and the apartment downstairs has been declared "uninhabitable" due to the damage to the ceiling.
In this picture you can almost see our laptop floating under the couch. 
They put us up in their 1 bedroom model apartment for the night.
This is what the place looked like on Sunday.
Mostly I would say we were pretty lucky, thankfully it wasn't a fire. And...we didn't lose much stuff; just our laptop, our old digital camera and some of Evan's books. The people downstairs were pretty mad at first, but now they are looking at this as an opportunity to get out of their lease.
So as we prepare to leave Salt Lake City, we can just add this to our list of adventures.
Everything is still feeling a little damp, but we will dry out!

Holy Cow!!! I had no idea. That is not the thing you want to come home to...ever. I am glad there wasn't much damage to your stuff though...and anyways, you did mention that the laptop wasn't you favorite. LOL! Glad it is all cleaned up in time for you to head back to O-H-I-O
