counters


the counters have been done for right around a week.  they are not ready to have everything back in place and I am able to run my dishwasher and such.  I am pretty happy with how they turned out.  there are some spots were you can tell it isnt perfect and if you stare at them long enough I am sure you could tell they arent really granite but who really should be staring at my counters that long other than me!!  Jeremy has been working hard after working all day to get the new white outlet, switches and covers on and also started putting on the new cabinet handles too!  we made a quick stop at menards on sunday night after the basketball game to pick up the supplies.  I am very happy to have this project nearly finished and be able to focus on school more.
I took my final test for the classic mythology class last thursday so I have been focusing my time on my Islam class and lots of fun readings for it.  I just have a few more things to read along with a quiz, final exam, and research paper left for this class.  I will be pushing hard to get it all done before the one semester cut off date of december 9.  then I will have a month off to relax before starting natural resources conservation and lab at NICC and marriage and family counseling and psychotherapy at Iowa in Januray.  The fist class will fulfill a core requirement and I am not terribly excited about it but the second class sounds very exciting to me and is right up my alley with my love of psychology and possibly a career someday in counseling or something like that!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving this week - I know we have a lot to be thankful this year, as we do each year. 
I am really looking forward to my first real black friday shopping expirence with Jeremy this weekend too!  hopefully it goes well and wont be our last!!

God Bless and lots of Love from

Kitchen update - again

Well we have come along way in the kitchen remodel this week.  The walls were finally ready to be painted after texture and priming late last week.  I am really happy with how the colors turned out and how nice the wall look after all the work we put into them.  After painting early in the week we found out they were ready to install our new floor Thursday so we tore up the old sticky squares floor and did what we could to prep the floor for the new floor.  After a long day of either being trapped in the living room or the basement while they worked on the floor it was finally in.  I have to say that I am thrilled with how it has turned out so far!  Now I will be painting the kitchen counters with a kit I ordered online.  Hoping to get that done this week.  After that it will just be picking out new handles for the cabinets, new outlets/switches and covers, and decorating!!!
