Men Can Be So Prideful!!!



So, we got our kitchen cabinets in. They are absolutely beautiful!! We got such a good deal on them because we bought them "ready to assemble", meaning we had to put them together ourselves. They are all hardwood, no particle board or MDF, so they are really good quality. For the most part, they are really easy to put together. They just snap together and then you put in a few screws and you are done. Well, we decided to put together the hardest one first--the lazy susan. Before we started, I asked Troy if we should watch the instructional video on their website on putting that piece together. He said no, he could figure it out. So we started, and 2 hours later, we still weren't done. We stopped for a few minutes to get something to eat, and started again. This whole time, I kept saying we should just go watch the video and he wouldn't hear of it! Finally, after working on this stupid thing for 3 hours, we got it put together. Guess how long it takes in the video? ........9 minutes! Haha! The whole thing was pretty funny. But now I have to bragg on Troy. It might have taken him a while to put that piece together, but he is doing an amazing job on this house. He built a half wall between the dining room and living room, braced the ceiling to we could tear out the wall in the kitchen, patched the ceiling, put up new drywall, put in new french doors, and numerous other things. Everyone who comes to see the progress is amazed! I am posting a few of the "work in progess" pictures. Next week I will put up a picture of the kitchen. We have almost all of the cabinets up now.

The Rapids













It has been pretty warm here, so Troy and I decided to enjoy it. We went over to the Savannah Rapids. Unfortunately, it cooled off the day we decided to go. Poor Tory--he was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Anyways, I love going over there. It is peaceful and just a nice place to go take a stroll. We enjoyed our afternoon and hope to go more as it gets warmer.
