Hiya

I was reading Carmen's travel blog, which inspired me to post a quick update on our lives. We actually did some travelin ourselves last weekend, up to Edgerton to see Keith and Kathy with a mini trip to Canton, Michigan thrown in to visit the brand-new Ikea. Our adorable nieces and nephews had a sleepover with us Friday night and we had lots of fun watching "Over the Hedge" and having a fish fry. We got everything we needed at Ikea for a small kitchen remodel (plus some other stuff, of course) and initiated Keith and Kathy into the hippest housewares store for us budget-wise folks. Sunday, we had an early "Christmas" celebration with the Englers before Kevin's maternal grandma heads to Florida for the winter. It was a fun trip!

Tonight we're headed to Matt and Amanda's for a little TGIF and TGAFGHR revelry (that's "thank god amanda finally got her license"). At age 28, this is a big cause for celebration! Of course, we got her a little package of stuff to pimp her ride. Tomorrow night, Kevin and I have a date. Otherwise, we'll be up to the usual stuff: grocery shopping, laundry, yard work--and installing a new kitchen!

Please post pics of the kitchen project. I love seeing what you two are up to. It's better than HGTV!

Coincidentally, we are doing some work in our kitchen now, too--FINALLY putting in the tile backsplash I talked to you and Kevin about in April of 2005. Tell Kevin I took his advice and went with a more Tuscan-style tile. It is looking good so far!

We love IKEA ~ doesn't everyone? So, tell us about this kitchen project. Paint, countertops, cabinets, lighting???????

Maybe you should do a series on this blog and keep us all involved....

We really enjoyed your visit. And the Ikea store!! I love my new picture and light fixture and thanks to Kevin for putting them up at one o'clock in the morning!! I can't wait to see your kitchen when it is done. Looking forward to your next visit.
