Tile, Tile and More Tile.....

Sorry I haven't added anything for so long.... We have been playing happy construction family for the last week. As I mentioned before we are remodeling the kitchen. The thing about remodeling is it reminds me of the old sketch from the Three Stooges. You know the one. The one where they are trying to put wall paper up on the walls of an apartment.... Anyway... here is how it goes. We bought new counters so we needed a new sink. The current faucet wouldn't work with the sink so we had to get a new faucet. The current disposal wouldn't work with the new sink either so we had to get a new disposal.... Then we added undercabinet lighting and tile to the backsplash. Jaron accidentally distressed the wrong side of the island so now we have to tile the island too. After three trips to the home improvement store for additional tile it is finally done today. However, we also got new appliances.... And the fridge doesn't fit. We had to pay someone to come in and shave the cabinet over the fridge.... Then of course, now all the plugs have to be changed because the stainless outlet covers look funny with white plugs inside. It is just an ongoing process..... And to think, the bathrooms are next!!!!!!

Jay was teasing me today that I should be pleased that he is anal retentive and handy.... So here I am telling the world. I am very blessed to be married to a man that can do all this work around the house himself, and more importantly, does it! I am also very blessed that he is so meticulous that it is done right... It spoils me some because when he does it, it is done right. No picture will fall from our wall, no curtains are unlevel with the floor. When a contractor is hired, they just don't compare. It kind of makes the clothes in the closet sorted by style, color and on matching hangers worth it!

Oh, my Dad was in town this weekend. He and Euneice came and visited us on Friday. They were in town for a baptism on her side of the family. It was nice to see family in our space. We actually like company.
