Saturday and Sunday's advertures

I don't think I've seen my husband as excited as he was on Saturday in a long, long time!  He was like a kid on Christmas morning knowing that his trophy of an elk was arriving today!

His parents were so sweet to come all the way up from Waco just to bring us a few (some more important than others) items and help us unload our storage unit in Dallas to our new house.

When they arrived, we had to first unload the elk from the back of their truck, and we were all a bit nervous that he would not fit through the front door!

But....

HE FIT!!!!!

 

                                  

Thankfully, all went well and the elk made it through the door frame just fine!  Then came the trouble of deciding which wall to put him on (remember we had just stayed up the night before until 1:30 am painting the wall we thought he'd go on).  After some investigation, we realized the painted wall would not work due to what was on the other side of  the wall.  So we had to decide on a new game plan.  The elk will now go on the wall directly to the left and we will just have to remove/replace the light fixture so it does not hang down even with the elk's face.

 

 

 

 

 

We decided not to hang him on Saturday, to give me time to paint the new wall, and so we could focus on unloading the storage unit.  So until the next time his parents can come up and visit, we will have a large elk sitting in our living room!  Once we have him up on the wall, new pictures will be posted.

After getting to spend some wonderful quality time with his parents, we saw them off and then got right back to work.  We had a few hours to spare before a graduation party on Saturday evening, so Lance got started removing the old dishwasher that was in the kitchen so we could install our new one! 

 

Having never done this before, he sure looked like he knew what he was doing!  It didn't take Lance long at all to disconnect and remove the old dishwasher.  This was our stopping point on Saturday night.

 

Sunday morning we were both already feeling pretty tired.  After a Starbucks and Lowe's run, we were ready to get back to work!  Lance start in on installing our new dishwasher while I went back to painting.  I was able to completely finish painting the stairwell and the hallway leading to the master bedroom.

 

 

As mentioned before, Sears Outlet is the place to go for new appliances!  Not only did we get a great deal on our fridge, but we got 50% off our dishwasher!  We got a Kenmore Elite 24 inch built in dishwasher that has so many extra jets it can clean anything you put in there!

 

 

After lost of hard work, reading through the (not so great or detailed) instructions, and four trips to Lowe's for pieces, Lance installed our gorgoues new dishwasher!

 

It's times like this that I am so thankful to be married to a man that can figure anything out!!!

 

I will be using it for the first time today and I cannot wait!!

 

 

 

 

 

 Come back soon to see the house completely painted, and the dog park project getting started!
