Things to hate, love and laugh at

No one can truly appreciate how AWFUL my old kitchen was (the pictures do not do the horrible justice). We have been really busy since the beginning of last December in preparation for the new kitchen. I knew it was bad, really bad when the mess and clutter drove Chad nuts! We survived however only to L-O-V-E the new and much improved kitchen. (Let it be noted I never in a million years would have dreamt of the possibility of a replacement kitchen. Lacey told me not to go to ID for Thanksgiving but instead put the money in my kitchen, most important to get a dishwasher. She told me "You cannot have 3 kids and NO dishwasher!". Yes we are expecting #3 in July! Thank you Lacey!)
So here are the pictures!
Before- yuck! That was the only counter space I had...I think is was 47 inches!
I had carts and racks to hold everything! I used the stove and sink as counter space
Ta Da! Oh the love I have!

Story about the new stove: It was not in the budget to buy a new stove and used ones in great shape are hard to come by. Our cabinet installer, Chuck, gave us this glass top stove. No strings attached! I cried, and cried! All he asked for was chocolate chip cookies with nuts! There are not enough cookies to make him!

I know it's not fancy, large or much...but I love it!

Side note- my kids love to dance to music I bought these tu-tus and they love them!

Elly is obsessed with sunglasses, they even go in the bath!
