Where it began

Around November 2008 I told my Architect Husband that we needed to start on the new kitchen renovation we've always dreamed of. Thinking we could do the renovation in the summer of 2009.





That didn't happen. Architectural plans were never completed. Husband told me sometime in the Fall of 2009 he wanted the two of us to take a trip to St. Maarten during the summer of 2010. I told him I would book the trip if he drew up the plans for the Kitchen. Success! Met with Contractor and picked out all the colors and everything is good to go. Demolition began today, April 5, 2010.

In the Meantime.........

We have 3 grown daughters and at the time, two were happily dating, one was not so happily dating. Youngest daughter and boyfriend will be graduating in May 2010 and wanted to go to Nashville in October to check out job options and just check the city out. (They think they want to live there) What my daughter did not know, and I did, was that she was going to be proposed to on the trip. So the 3 of us spend 5 days together, 3 of us side-by-side, it was a beautiful trip, however I had no clue when the proposal was going to actually take place. Turns out it was going to happen on the last full day of the trip, at the Nashville Centennial Garden at sunset....




So Youngest Daughter is now engaged. Middle Daughter has had a long=term relationship going on and feeling like a wedding should be in the planning stage, however she was yet to be asked. AkWARD...

OH and Oldest daughter had a relationship with a person that most of us are not crazy about. A concern was that as soon as youngest got engaged she'd "push" that relationship, especially since shes the oldest. But NO NO NO, she was smarter than that.

SOOOOO Now one wedding set for July 2010. One Remodel set for now spring 2010......

At this point of the story....it is before Christmas 2009....
#2 daughter expecting to be engaged, but not yet......#3 daughter in an unhappy relationship.....(as we saw it!)

Oh AND BY THE WAY, we have a 14 year old son during this process, which we moved to a new small school and decided to partipate in FFA and buy a Pig. A great decision on our part, more to follow.....
