Christmas comes twice a year?

Well, here is your last chance to see the plain drywall! Yuppers. We've got it finished and we'll be putting on primer & paint this weekend!





By this time next week, we will probably have our cabinets installed. We received them Wednesday!! One box wouldn't quite fit in the door, so we had to take the cabinet out of the box and squeeze it around the doorway. It was like opening that first present on Monday morning before dad was done with chores on Christmas morning! :-)
Here's a sneak peak at our cabinets & hardware... (sorry - not the greatest pictures as I took them in the dark).

It's like Christmas!


This weekend we "moved" - we're still technically not moved out of the little yellow house (lots of stuff still there..) but we are sleeping and 'eating' in "The Big House." Notice I said eating - and not necessarily preparing meals! We have set up a temporary "snack room" as the nieces call it. And Monday we received our appliances so we at least have a fridge and microwave now! I think I am going to LOVE my microwave! I made a breakfast sandwich in it this morning - and much better texture than the one I made in our other microwave. Lots of magical buttons on it, as well as the "Turbo Fan." Man, you can almost dry your hair with that sucker...

And our fridge should be wonderful, as well. I have told myself not to think about the stove, because that will just make me want to bake! I can't wait until I pop out that first pie!! (Haven't decided what kind to make first, though - apple, cherry, pumpkin?) Oh and the dishwasher. What Dishwasher? You mean that thing in the box that I'm keeping hidden from view? :-P The cool thing about our stove, though, is that it was dented in the rear bottom right corner. We got yet another 10% off for keeping it! Yeay! (And no one will ever know because it will be hidden by cabinets.)
