Until

The word "until" carries a lot of weight in the  English language. It is a word that bridges two events. It is the link between happy and sad. Easy and hard. Nice and nasty. The list goes on and on. Last night the word "until" played an important role in my life. We are remodeling our bathroom and everything was going well..... until. As my son pulled out the sink and toilet, he noticed that the old plumbing was not installed correctly. It needed to be replaced. Since we know our limits, we called the plumber and he came over at 8pm. He worked for an hour to replace three valves. Now we are ready to continue on with the rest of the job. Everything was going well..... until the pipes broke. Then everything went well after the plumber came.
