What We've Been Up Too...the first part of it anyways...

the bare before...

Obviously, we've been doing a major face lift on the kitchen! I had planned on not showing any pics until we were done, but I needed a break from this project. These were all taken a few weeks ago. We'd gone into Lowe's to buy new appliances- oven, dishwasher, and an over the range microwave, and we left with those plus new counters and a new sink and a new faucet!! Can I just say, how awesome Lane is!!! He did some electrical work so we could have the microwave over the oven (which as you can see there is not a whole lot of counter space and has been so nice to have). He has installed everything, rebuilt a cabinet, and even took care of the mice bones that were between the wall and the old counter top (I actually did try to vacuum them up, but, it didn't work, and I then continued my freaking out). We are now painting cabinets, which has been by far the worst part of all of this. There is so much stinking prep work that buy the time we get to the primer I'm ready to go and just spend $7, 000 on new cabinets! Ok, not really, maybe if I just had that much laying around. So that is where we sit right now, we've primed half the kitchen. And, amongst all the mess and mayhem from the kitchen, is when I decided to do two system recoveries on my computer, and ended putting in new hard drive. No stay at home mom should loose both kitchen and computer at the same time! Well, at least the kitchen is looking hopeful, I definitely will have more pics to post, and it seems my computer is running better, now if I could find some missing software cd's then I'd be set! Oh, and I want to go to Rexburg to see my new little niece, Isabelle, who was born on Friday, and maybe my little sis who has now joined the world of motherhood. Ah! Do you ever feel like there is just too many things to do?
