...Still During

Oh, the joy of being a homeowner! We have lived in our house for a little over 4 years and have spent most of that time busy with life. Since we moved in we got married and had two kids. Not to mention the little bout with pneumonia and blood poisoning Dustin had about a year 1/2 ago that landed him in ICU for a week and off work for about a month. Who says you don't need a spline!?! Anyway, life has kept us pretty busy and hasn't really been easy on the pocketbook either.

So, we finally decided to buckle down and spend a little time and money on our house. I've hated our oak cabinetry in our kitchen and bathrooms since we moved in and vowed to change it. We spent 4 days at Dustin's parents house while this was being done and finally got to sleep in our own beds again last Tuesday.

Now we're just waiting for our cabinet and drawer fronts. It's still a work in progress and even though I love our new kitchen, it just makes me want to jump on our next task of replacing counter tops, updating appliances, laying tile floors and refinishing hardwood. Geez, a girl is never happy!
