And we're back..

Hello all, we have neglected you for far too long.  You wonder what we’ve been up too??  Well, we had what felt like 4,000 different holiday functions from Thanksgiving thru the New Year happening at our new house.   The Mrs. is loving showing off the new pad, the Mr. is tired of having people in his house.   The holidays were fun, especially with the little one finally kinda getting what it means to have a strange fat man in a red suit come visit your house overnight.  But now, the decorations are packed up and we’ve entered what the Mrs. calls, “the cold dark days of winter”. 

To counteract the seasonal depression, we’ve been dreaming of all the changes/improvements we want to complete in our new home.  So, as any good homeowner would do, we set out to get estimates on everything from painting to flooring to a whole new kitchen.  What have we learned…this sh*t is expensive!!  So, as any good buppies would do, we’ve decided to pay the good money to get all our windows replaced and attempt to rehab our existing kitchen cabinets.  We are avid watchers of HGTV, so we feel like we can do this project without any issues. 

Wish us luck…hopefully we’ll be able to post pictures of our beautiful new kitchen in a few short months and we’ll be able to say how much money we saved in the process.  Now, if we could only figure out a way to do this with a VERY active 2 ½ year old running free in the house.
