For the first time since we've been married--or better yet, for the first time since I moved out of my mother's house in 1999--we finally have a washer and dryer right in our apartment. No laundry room to go to. No time schedule to follow. No stupid plastic card or quarters to find. No more going commando.
We are washing everything! Clothes! Sheets! Blankets! Rugs! Pillows! Jackets! We have run out of things to wash, we've washed so much. Where the laundry used to pile up, there is now a gaping void.
Send your laundry on over. We have a washer and we ain't afraid to use it.
Oh, how I remember the feeling of FINALLY getting my first in-apartment washer and dryer! For weeks, I was drunk on the fumes of Tide and Lavender Vanilla Downy! Delirious with joy!
Congratulations. Your life has just changed dramatically.

I'd think twice about that. I have a baby, and I've done at least two loads a day for the last six months. I'm not afraid to send over the massive amounts of laundry this kid creates on a daily basis.

When we moved into our house, I just about hugged our washer and dryer. So big! And so free! Pure luxury.

I'm so jealous. My day will come.

We have a washer and dryer in a shed attached to the back of our new house. It is heaven! I was more excited about the washing machine than the hardwood floors or the location - no more laundromats and quarters!

Oh, that definitely deserves a huge heartfelt Congratulations! Laudromats suck and I am so happy for you that you don't have to deal with them any more.:-)

Well, congrats! I don't know how you did it for so long! So you wash those clothes, girl and have some celebratory champagne while doing so:)

You can do my laundry! My room is usally messy because I leave my laundry on the floor! I will definitely save you a gift bag. I didn't get a fake ID but did drink others drinks when the bouncers weren't looking!!! See you tomorrow

Congrats, I think.
I only hope that the evil laundry-avoidance fairies don't infect your house like they have mine.
I have a TON of panties for exactly this reason.
