some kitchen progress

We are so thrilled with the kitchen so far..it has been slow going-GRR!!..but worth it in the end...my new appliances came today, but the fridge is still in the family room, drinks anyone?..lol..our contractor is off this coming week, so we are hoping to get the painting done and hang the lights, at least we can keep moving forward, even without him.

our Easter

Both our boys told us they wouldnt be around for Easter this year, Trevor was backpacking and Ethan was to work a double shift. So Roger and I made our own plans to not cook and just hang out with nothing special planned.Well, as it turned out, both boys were around, so we pinch hitted a meal together and enjoyed a DVD together.The Easter bunny did come, and the guys loved their baskets!

We had a fun day on Saturday and got our first Harley ride in, (brr, 47 is too cold!)and then BBQed shrimp and chicken and veggies. Yum! All in all a fun weekend..and even though we didnt go to church, we all still remembered the real reason for the holiday- He is Risen indeed!!

it's been awhile...

Not a whole lot going on here..the kitchen is progressing, but slowly. All the demo work is done, and I now have some granite on a couple of my counter tops...it's not cemented down yet..but it does look good. Our contractor is very nice and we trust him completely- however he is a Daddy and is the childcare provider when a kid is sick, so he has missed several days-frustrating for us, but understandable. It is just hard when we have everything so torn up!!..

Anyway, just wanted to say Hi to you all, and letcha know I'm still around!!

2 new projects

Even though my house is torn up and in disarray, I still managed to do 2 projects. Susan Marzocchi has Stampin Up stamp camps and these were an extra class she did. Love these!..this is all the Easter decorating I will be doing this year.

I wont bore you with the kitchen pics, but it is coming along- the floor is down to the sub floor, the counters are plywood/hardy backer primed red..I do have my new deep sink and new faucet in tho!..nice!..the fridge is in the family room, the dishwasher is unhooked and where the fridge goes..AAAAA!!!..I know it has to get worse before it gets better, but being discombobulated sure gets on my nerves!!

Kitchen Remodel Day1

Yay...it has begun!..this what I came home to- no counter tops or sink-both in the kitchen and in our downstairs powder room...it was a microwave meal for dinner last night..he laid out the tiles on the diagonal so we could see what it looks like-we like it..anyway, boring post for most-EXCITING for us!!

Striving for a new me!

I love this picture, it tickles me, but it is truly what I am hoping to achieve..I joined Weight Watchers this weekend, and am seriously striving for a life change!
I refuse to go up in size, and this is my first step (again!)towards halting that change in the wrong direction!..Spring just feels like the right time!
