A weekend, a bridal shower and a demolished kitchen

I just got home last night from a nice long weekend spent in NJ with my Mom, Dad, sister, and soon-to-be brother-in-law. I had a GREAT time. Not that I ever need a reason to go home to spend time with family, but this past trip out was mainly to throw my sister her wedding shower . . . here's a picture of me and the other maids--they were awesome.

And here's my cute sister Lauren in her little hat made from all the bows off of all the gifts she got. She's awesome too.

Getting back to Salt Lake last night, and work this morning was easier then I thought it would be. It's so funny how quickly we fall back into our grooves.

Well, with the exception of walking into our kitchen . . . I think I told you all about our kitchen remodel we've been planning . . . and now it's REAL. Real, as in--we have no cabinets, and there's a nice, thick, protective coating of plaster dust on pretty much ever piece of furniture in our house. I have to make light of this situation starting now because Eric and I have both heard horror stories about how maddening having work done on your house can be. Nope. Not going to get to us though--all we see are granite counter tops, and brand new maple cabinets stained with a sweet mocha glaze. Yum.

I'll keep you all posted . . .
