Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, in case I don't get a chance to tell you! We are going to have a big dinner at Keith's sister's house. Keith's mom & step-dad are coming to IL as well, so it will be nice to spend time with them as well. We won't be going to MN since we were just up there for my grandmother's funeral. Though it was for a sad reason, we got to visit with a lot of family and visit my friends, Stacy & Loni! :-)
We found out we are getting countertops installed December 6th. We've got a little bit of work before then, mostly just getting the plumbing ready and finish painting. Keith installed my range on Saturday. I made my first baked good - a super delicious apple spice cake with caramel swirl buttercream frosting. It was YUMMY. But apparently, not good enough to win our office's silly baking contest - by the way, hamballs & scalloped potatoes won. (Mom, your scalloped potatoes are better!!!). I think the whole contest was not fair due to the whole weight watcher crew around here!!! Anyway, I baked. It took me forever to find out where I put stuff (when I packed to move, I just shoved crap in boxes and hauled it upstairs...), but I did it. :-)

Happy Halloween and other stuff!
Since I've got the camera hooked up, I thought I would share these photos of Halloween and dogsitting.
Big changes!
So....I've been lazy about putting new pictures up for you to see. Though maybe it's because I want to keep you in suspense. :-)
Anyway, we've got up 2 coats of primer and a coat of paint, installed the cabinets and Keith has got my light installed!! We've got our countertop ordered (I can't believe we are getting the granite - don't worry - it was on sale, so it was actually cheaper than solid surface stuff!) . Here are some pictures of us painting & Keith impersonating the garbage disposal.
And...ta da! Here is your first look at our cabinets! I'm so excited. I can't wait to use them! Now that I look at the photo, I don't have our light fixture in there! I'll guess you'll just have to wait to see that!
