Busy Weekend

Well Heather got here from Kansas on Thursday late afternoon and Schuyler and I went to the airport to pick her up ... it was probably my best airport pick-up ever ... we parked in the garage right by Southwest ... we came off the elevator and the monitor said her luggage would be on turnstyle 2 and that is right where we were ... we went and sat down and before my tush was on the seat we saw her walking out ... and then it was right back to the car ...

We hung out at home Thursday night ... David fixed chicken and potatos and veggies that were delicious ... and Skye was just so happy to see her ...

Friday started out a quiet morning ... I made my own cinnamon rolls from scratch without a recipe that turned out sooooooo good ... I was so happy about it ...

My dad called and wanted to go look at some stuff for the remodel ... so we packed up some snacks (not enough) and headed out ... we spent hours at home depot ... thank goodness Schuyler had Heather with her ... they looked at all sorts of stuff in the store ... got a stack of Minnie Mouse paint swatches ... had hot pretzels and ran around the store ...

While we picked out this amazing black kitchen sink ... bought a new sliding glass door, small window for the kitchen above the sink and a huge bay window for the window wall (that is going to become half the height so we can have cabinets and counters underneath it ... we also got a kitchen faucet ... and looked at tons of other stuff like toilets and tubs and all that jazz ...

Then we headed to a granite place ... it was in a warehouse and awesome ... they had tons to choose from and after much consideration we found one that we both loved ... and the guys prices were amazing ... he gave us a sample to bring home and think about and we told him we would be back Satruday ...

So this afternoon we all headed out again ... we had searched around and we weren't going to find a better price for granite countertops and all of us really liked the guy ... so we paid our deposit ... and set up the tenative schedule ...

Then we headed to a WAY high end bath, kitchen and lighting place to look around ... get some ideas for stuff we want that we can then look for online at a reasonable price ...

It kind of sucks that this is the weekend we needed to start getting stuff done since Heather is visiting ... but at the same time she made it all that much easier to get stuff done ... and Schuyler is just in love with her ... and has had so much fun hanging out with her ... and we did get so much done ... although we have these long lists of stuff we still need to do ... I just don't know that David and I were prepared with all that needed to be done ...

At least while Heather has been here we have been able to stay up late talking and hanging out ... I just love when she is here ...

Our soon to be new black sink
