New Kitchen!

Now for the unveiling of our new kitchen! I have no complaints...seeing these photos of our new kitchen makes remodeling worth the headache. Although I don't think I will wilingly live through this again for a while. Once is definetly enough for me. Our new kitchen is so much more better-looking and functional than our old kitchen. I love these photos- I will probubly never see it this clean again.

Little Rascal

Our little super-active guy just loves to play fetch! At times, we make a game of it and toss him around (literally). Just another excuse to torment our pup. ;-)
We think he would love a doggie agility course.

Inspirational photo

Here's my photo of the day. My friend, Paul Lee is an avid photographer and he took this AMAZING shot of The Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It brings me back memories when I went to Paris about 2 years ago and this was by far the most amazing structure I saw in Paris. Bar None. To believe Napoleon had the desire and guts to build a triumphal arch standing at the top of the Champs Elysées avenue in Paris. His victorious troops would march on through the arch cheered by the population of Paris.
I love the angle and clouds in the background and how it adds definition to the overall architecture. (sigh) Only in Paris.

Look what's sprouting!

Here are some photos of my niece, Sydney. All she ever wanted for Christmas was her two front teeth and now she got it. ;-) Isn't she adorable? Don't know what her mom is doing to make her laugh so hard, but its working!

Strange day

Well, I'm having major bout of insomnia today... and for good reason. I got laid off this morning. Everything still seems like a blur to me.. first I'm in denial and then it sinks in. I can't explain it. I'm excited to see what opportunities God will unfold for me next, yet scared of the unknown and uncertainty. Gracefully, my husband is so supportive and it makes me so appreciative of him. He's not worried about a thing. Its me that I have to convince. Isn't that just so ironic?

July 4th at Donner Lake

Keith and I escaped LA for a weekend at Donner lake. We both had a relaxing, fun time hanging out with extended family and eat all the homecooked meals my heart desired! Keith got a chance to get rugged playing paintball and off-roading on an ATV bike! He did get hit several times. Now he thinks we need to get a paint ball gun so he can "practice" for his match next year. ;-)

Just about done!

Here's a photo of our kitchen about 95% complete, its just missing our stove. We're so excited to have a functional kitchen back! Our stomachs are yearning for homecooked meals. We plan to take a little break from all the remodeling until the summer ends, then we will work on replacing our windows.

Old out-dated kitchen

A new kitchen in the making

Here is a glimpse of our new kitchen in the making...

College Buds

Caroline, Jenifer and I used to hang out in college... I would crash at their apartment when I didn't feel like driving home. I was considered their 'honored' houseguest who didn't pay rent... ah, those college years.
Years later, we're all married, Caroline has 1 baby boy and Jenifer just welcomed her third boy! Its true as they say, life goes faster than you think.
