Kitchen Remodel (Part 3)

And now to finish pretty much where we have since left off of the kitchen. I have yet to take FINAL pictures since some trim still needs to go up and some minor but important details have yet to be done.

But, I LOVE my new kitchen! I love the new set up with the opening that connects the kitchen to the rest of the house. And I LOVE my dishwasher! The kitchen is not the mess it once was =) 

Kitchen Remodel (Part 2)

That first day was crazy! I didn't do much, since most of it was real hard work and heavy stuff. I didn't realize we were going to get to the studs O.o This project looked bigger than I had imagined! But after you break your kitchen you HAVE TO build it again. There is no turning back =) I was seriously doubting we were going to make this project stay under $2000 (my goal...Isaac was more realistic, though he let me hope and believe lol!) 

And the work continues! We (Isaac) finished tearing our the floor. 

Kitchen Remodel (Part 1)

I know I have not updated this in such a long time. Well, being busy and tired doesn't encourage updating blog. But, I did take lots of pictures of our kitchen remodel :)

This was something that needed to get done the moment we moved into this house. But it waited till now that we were able to. We sent the boys away for 5 days that turned to 9 O.o It was a long time! And we still weren't fully finished when they came home. And we still have a few little details to finish up, but our kitchen is up and running, mostly :) I do love it! Being our first ever kitchen gut-the-whole-thing and rebuild, I think that it turned out exceptionally well. Isaac is quite amazing, though he does have his limitations hahaha! He worked so hard and was so exhausted after two weeks of this ( and then we had to do the bathroom too 0.0 ). Long long days of little sleep and lots of work and no running water and cold water =) Great memories! 

SO! Here it is! the ORIGINAL kitchen when we moved in. Just look at that...potential yes, but not my dream kitchen! What I didn't know, was how much work it would be to change it. 

Catching up!

I know I haven't posted in forEVER! I haven't just forgotten. I have had my mind on other things: boys, husband, house, boys' birthday party...life =) I have even been pretty bad at taking pictures lately, but I do have some, no worries!

Spring Frolic: Barberville Spring 2013 (three years since...)

It's been three years from the day Isaac and I met. Here we are now: married, moved three times, had two boys, bought a house...how did this happen? To me? Hahaha! I used to say I would never get married. Partly because I didn't want to and partly because I never thought any guy could tollerate me. Well, I found one that does. And he seems to not just tollerate but, at least this is what he would say if asked, he thoroughly enjoys me =) That is a happy feeling. I'm glad. XD

We goof around a lot! 

Being married has taught me things that I wouldn't have  been able to learn as a single woman. I am glad for my single years, but I'm also glad for my married years, which hopefully will one day be more than my single years. =)

And, I'm still learning. Oh, so many things to live and learn and grow!

Relearning Lessons in New Ways

There are those challenges that come up between a husband and wife. Its not that there are problems between them...its just they are people =)

When we were young XD hahahaha! ( as in "it was just us!")
