I finally made it back here. Whew! It has been a while. I suppose the biggest reason for my absense is that I just got out of my daily routine. Life is quite a bit different since leaving a structured world. I also just lost the desire to blog about anything. I was kinda waiting to see how I felt in the new year. I wasn't sure if I'd retire or give it one more "season." I got a lot of comments from friends saying, "you don't blog anymore?...I use to read it everyday." This surprised me. I read some of my older posts and realized that I use to have fun with this thing. I am entering a new chapter in my life and I think I'll have a lot more to say this year. I am trying to start my own business (so scary and exciting) and also wanting to start a family (one way or another) - it has it's obstacles. I feel super refreshed, and so I thought it would be good to jump right back into it where I left off.
One of the big accomplishments of last year was making it through our big kitchen renovation last fall. Talk about throwing your routine out of whack! It finally got finished right before Thanksgiving. It's a very grown up kitchen with granite and stainless steele...ohhh...ahhhh! It is amazing that it is our's. There were a million and one choices to make and lots and lots of bargain hunting on the internet, but we managed not to beg, borrow and steal any more than we budgeted (okay, maybe a little). Damn, these things are expensive!
Here some more recent pics.
Before...
After...
How do you like those crazy beams? We still have to find a stain we like. Sounds strange to say about a kitchen, but it's a very peaceful place for me. I can't wait to get home after being out on the town. This has only contributed to my serious "home body" issues.

You guys did a great job with the remod...not an easy feat for sure!
And I know the food coming from that new kitchen is very tasty!
Hey girl, it's been a long time since I've been by, but I was thinkin' 'bout ya this morning and wondered how the kitchen had come along.
GORG! I love it! Totally, smashingly, dreamy! I had no idea you were going so all-out. I thought it was going to be along the lines of "charming makeover", but this, this is incredible! Hope you are having fun cooking!
