Did You Miss Me?

I am sooooo sorry. I have been beyond MIA the last week or so. A lot has been going on. Things at the house are really coming together and it looks like our kitchen will finally be finished this week. Our hot water and heat will be ready to go. The house is insulated. The rooms are painted. All we need to do is another top-to-bottom cleaning to get rid of the TON of sheet rock dust that has settled on EVERYTHING and move furniture around. It has been a long time coming. So here is what has been going on. We finished installing the kitchen cabinets and the granite guys came to measure the island. They said in the 9 years they have worked for the company, this has been the biggest island they have measured. Hmmmm... Maybe we should have gone a bit smaller on the island? At first, I thought we would choose a granite that was bit more intense. Maybe something like one of these: It's hard...
