The kitchen is coming, the kitchen is coming!

Here's the beginning of my kitchen renovation. They had already begun the tearing down the wall. I'm standing in my living room which is where you enter my house. Then... the wall came down! :) It feels SO good even though there are wires hanging everywhere and dust all over my house. And Jake (cat) thinks he needs to roll in all the piles of dust every night and then track it all over my bed. I KNOW it is all worth it. Just seeing it in this condition makes me happy-- I feel so much more open and at home here now.

One last one...

Things are happening

I am so excited as I have been wanting to renovate my kitchen since I moved into my little house. And the expected child is just my motivation because I currently don't have a dishwasher. And EVERYONE knows you have to have a dishwasher with a child! ; ) Ok, so everyone who has a child doesn't have a dishwasher, but it is all the motivation I needed! Yesterday I finally met with a contractor to go over my renovation. I'm knocking out a wall and moving some things around. Then my mom and dad and I went to Sears (Factory Outlet) and I bought a new refrigerator (something I've needed for 10 years) and a DISHWASHER!!! They will be delivered on Friday. I have nowhere to put a dishwasher now, so it will be a wonderful center piece in my living room for a couple of weeks. Today I need to finalize a loan and go look for cabinets! Totally exciting! Yea!
