OUR KITCHEN : )

OUR KITCHEN IS SO CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED! WOOHOO!! We still need to put up all of the crown molding, find places for things, etc. We were so excited to get the oven in! It is a double oven and it's amazing : ) 

Kitchen with new cabinets! We're getting there!

The recessed lights are in, the large cabinet over the island is gone and replaced with sheet rock, it's been textured, no stove or microwave or paint yet.. but it will come!

Reminder of kitchen before

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! We've had a few different guests stay the weekend or come for dinner since we've moved in and have loved every minute of hosting in our new home! (I especially love it! And Greg, well, he's learning to love it : ) I've had the urge to have friends over although our house is not at all complete!  I have also been really enjoying spending time with my college aged friends that are now coming to our Young Life College Fellowship, are new leaders in our area, etc. so at last week's college fellowship I invited them all over for Saint Patrick's Day dinner and game night! So fun! I loved picking the menu..all green of course!  Since most college students dislike Cabbage and I do not know how to make Corn Beef...we had Green Mexican food instead haha! 

Shopping List: My mission was to find ALL green food products!
