Our 3 foot tree with 8 foot ceilings!
Little did I know that when we were putting up these lights that they twinkle... My biggest pet peeve are dancing Christmas lights. Let's just say that college is testing my patience.
That night for family home evening we decided to cut snowflakes and our original plan was to put them on the our doors... but we didn't make it that far so we hung them up in our apartment.
The next morning the twinkle lights and the lanterns were all on the floor... the duct tape just didn't work out. Lesson learned here, off brand duct tape is crap. So Lauren and I went to the store and bought more hooks and rehung the lights. Monday night one of the colored lights around our window went out. They were the big bulb ones that actually go on the house not inside of apartments. So being the handy one in our apartment I got up there trying to see if the bulb went out or it was the socket thingy that was broken. I took the light that wasn't lighting up out and the one next to it out so I could switch them to see what happened, but before I had the chance to check I dropped the light that was working. It didn't shatter and it looked just fine, so I continued what I was doing and when I screwed in the light I had just dropped the whole string popped and sparked and went out. I didn't know if I had blew the breaker so I checked the outlet and it worked. I was at a loss, so I called my dad who happens to be an electrician :) I told him what happened and he laughed at me telling me that I blew the breaker in the light strand. Who knew there was a breaker in those things?! I didn't! Now there isn't any lights in the window because I have yet to buy a new one..
