kitchen and impending graduation
Busy busy busy.
Let me start off with some kitchen pictures because I know some of you are waiting to see the progress. The most interesting section to you will probably be 7 - cabinets, flooring, and appliances. Still a lot of work to go, but we are making headway.
And I think we've finally gotten to a point where we can actually cook again! We still don't have a sink in the kitchen, but we have appliances and temporary plywood countertops and even some of our food and dishes in the cabinets already! It's exciting stuff. The most beautiful sound to me right now is that of our dishwasher running. It's been a pain in the ass (actually, back) washing dishes in the bathroom sink. Our countertops should get installed in three or four weeks. Then we can install upper cabinets, and then we will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
We're preparing for my parents and brother to arrive tomorrow. That's part of the reason we've been so kitchen-oriented. We seriously worked on the kitchen and the yard all weekend. I did a LOT of weeding. We have pretty plants, but man there are a lot of them to maintain.
I also had my last final today! Woo! Now all I have left is a paper due on Thursday. I am not at all worried about it and will probably finish it in an hour or so tomorrow afternoon while my parents are recovering from the plane ride. Then graduation is on Saturday! Exciting! :D
Today I have to focus on cleaning. As you might be able to guess, tearing your entire kitchen out is not conducive to keeping the house clean. Not only are boxes of dishes and food everywhere, the bathroom and dining room became makeshift kitchen areas, and the dust from construction settles faster than I could get rid of it. So there hasn't been much cleaning happening, which means there is a lot to catch up on. Hopefully now, once I clean it will stay clean for at least a little while!
Since I had to wake up at 5am to get to campus in time for my final, I think I might nap first though.

I can not believe you have lasted this long without being able to cook. I would have gone completely insane.
Your cabinets are lovely!

Believe me, I'm very close to insane.
I never would have realized how sick I would get of eating out every night. It gets old fast.
