The oven is in........

So after 3 weeks of eating sandwichs and bbqing we finally have a stove. There were some trials and tribulations to get this stove in. First we found out that the hole for the stove was too small. So Blake being the handy man that he is (not) decided that we could shave a part of the cabinet off and the oven would fit fine. So we went and purchased the oven and it had to be delivered a week after the purchase, which sucked. Once the oven was dropped off we were so excited to eat a real meal. We got the oven half way into the hole and there was no way that it was going to fit anf to top it off the piece the Blake shaved off was now prohibitng the drawers on the right side to open. Well we couldn't have that. So after all the arguing with one another we had a construction guy come out and move the left hand cupboard over about 1 inch and TA DA the oven fits perfectly. I think we learned our lesson in that Blake and I are not cut out for home improvement. We will just hire people from here on out.

Next up is the counter tops. Can't you invision the granite counters in these photos!!!! Kepp your fingers crossed those go smoothly, and yes we are having a professional install them.

2nd Anniversary

Can you believe that Blake and I have been married for 2 years, April 7, 2007. It seems like yesterday that I walked down the aisle to my best friend. Since Blake and I have been married, we have purchased a house and have been successful in our jobs. What is next to come we don't know but we are optimistic about the future!

Floors are done

So the guys finally finished with the floors today. I swear I hate construction guys, they are never on time. On Monday they were 2 hours late!!!!!! Then they were unable to finish because they were missing a part to the floor. So, they came back yesterday and put the missing piece in. Then they told us a carpet guy was going to have to come out and put the carpet down. So that all got done today. Blake and I will be putting on the baseboards this weekend and I am really not looking forward to doing that. When those are done I will post more photos but for now here is the floor.

The doors will go on the laundry and pantry when we are all done. But for now this is how it is. Granite counters and a new stove is next up. Wish us luck!!!

My Bulldog

Dubs is the smelliest, disgusting, and most annoying bulldog, but we love him. Who wouldn't love a face like this!!! Dubs favorite this to do is to be by the window so he can watch the world go by. I can't believe my first baby is going to be 5 soon!!!.
Dubs gazing out the window, watching the floor guys get stuff out of their truck.

Dubs farted and he knows it smells real bad.
Dubs loved this sweatshirt but his little muscular body ripped it in half.

The Task of Upgrading your home

Blake and I have been in the process of upgrading our kitchen. We are getting new granite counters, sink, faucet, floors, range and painting. Blake and his little brother ripped up the floors on Staurday and today the guy will be here to lay our hardwood down. We are very excited because it means we are one step closer to getting out of this house and into a bigger one. Take a look at how ugly the kitchen was and is right now!
