I had my soon-to-be mother and father-in-law come over to my house to our house for the first time. I have never met them before because they do live in another country and for them to travel here every few months would be very expensive. I wanted to make sure that everything was absolutely perfect. I wanted to make sure that my house was nice and clean, and that our dinner would also incorporate their culture as well. Just 20 minutes before we had to pick them up at the airport I heard a really loud noise come from the condensing unit right outside our bedroom window. The condensing unit is the air conditioning unit that cools down our house. I knew something must have major happened. I went to the thermostat to lower it so the air conditioning system would kick on. The air conditioning system would not kick on. I needed to make sure that we had cool air in our home because it was going to be so hot that week. Plus I didn’t want his parents to experience no cool air and be sweating the entire time they visited us. We were already pressed with time and had to pick his parents up at the airport. So I told him that I could stay behind so the heating and cooling technician could come and fix the air conditioning system. Luckily the heating and cooling technician was done repairing the part in the condensing unit before his parents got to our house. It ended up being a terrific week with his parents despite how hot the weather was. Luckily we had our air conditioning system running on full blast.
