DONE!

OK! Its done.....and the sink is working great! We both like it a lot - the color and everything! Here is the faucet...all hooked up. Weired how we had one night with out a sink and felt like we were camping!
Here you can see the wide bar - the kids like it a lot, because we popped pop corn on it, and the popper and bowl fit. And they could stand on the stools and watch!
Ahh.....so nice. The head pulls out of the faucet and switches from a regular to sprayer....so I can reach every corner of the giant sink. I could bath all my kids in it! Its that big! LOVE!

Cool Rocks

I love the granite we got! Its all cool like. Lots off different colors and shapes and sizes of crystals in the granite. I think it looks way good! I know in the pictures - you cant tell - but we had the little bar area made wider and arched so you can really use it. It was I think 11 inches wide and its now 16..............so you can sit at the bar and your knees dont bang the wall.
Our sink is really cool too. Copper with a fired finish. love it!

Granite

This morning:
(the light counter was what we had yesterday....and the SS sink)
Tonight: still not done(but almost) the counters are all on - but the back splash above the sink is too think for the faucet I got (that is totallly COOL) so they are going to shave it down and come back tomorow.
A slab like what we got:(red diamond) All cleaned off:

I hurt

Merrill had the great idea of us, as a couple, doing the P90X work out. And said if I did it with him - he wouldn't get a truck. OK.
We started today. At 5AM. 1 hour work outs 6 days a week. Very strict diet. Only one serving of carps per day for the first 4 weeks! I love bread! And rice, and pasta, and all that stuff! I hope I make it.
Today it was back and chest - so we did a billion push-ups and pull-ups. Well - I did the push ups, I didn't think I could....but I did manage to get about 7 to 10 each set. Pull-ups were a different story....sorry Merrill....but even you had a hard time! I sat on the ground and pulled a resistance band that was looped around the pull-up bar while Merrill did a few real pull-ups.
If we do "bring it" I should look really good in 3 months. Once we are done with the program I will give in and have bread toasted with butter and a big glass of orange juice every day for breakfast for a week. Only 90 days to go.....................
And don't ask for before pictures - we aren't going to scare anyone with those!

Sun!

It has been so nice outside. We spent a few hours outside taking pictures. Jumping on and off the tramp. And letting Sophie walk around and fall a lot.
Yeah - weired body thing Merrick did today.
