Cabinets have arrived!

Master bath cabinets!

Our cabinets were installed on Thursday and Friday! We are really pleased with them and we feel they match everything really well.

Cabinets in the extra bathroom! He made trim for our whirlpool to match the cabinets and I really like the way it looks!

A view from the living room, looking into the kitchen!

Kitchen cabinets!

I forgot to get a picture of the other side of the kitchen! I will post those later.

Date Night

Al and I had a date night on Friday night. We headed to Cheddars in Madison and actually was able to get in. It was really good and not real expensive. Then we headed to Huntsville to watch the Huntsville Havoc play against the Mississippi Surge. I had never been to a hockey game, so I was super excited about going. As most of you know, Al and I are avid football fans and love competitive outings. Since football season has been over for a while we have been going a little crazy not having our sports "fix". Neither of us are much on basketball, soccer, or any other sporting event that is happening at this time. Springtime brings softball, but now I think we have found our fix. I LOVED the game! It was fast paced and exciting. I think we will definitely be heading back to watch the Havoc play pretty soon!

oh yeah, and this was one of Al's favorite parts! They had this balloon floating around the arena!

Chili Challenge!!!

This last weekend was the Hospice Chili Challenge at Athens High School. I have helped Penny with this the last two years and this year she ask me to Chair the Jewelry and Accessories dept and she help me. I love things like this so I told her I would. We had a great time and raised a lot of money for a good cause! With the help of my trusty side kick we pulled it off very smoothly!
One of our prize items for auction was this Waterford National Championship football!

Getting ready for the festivities on Friday night!

Diamond earrings, another prize item!!

Swarovski earrings that were beautiful!

Me and my trust side kick!!!

Everyone had a great time! My mom and her crew had to make an early exit so I was not able to get a picture of everyone!!

Hangin' out with the Burns!!

Well 5 Burns living in a house together has been nothing but laughs! I can honestly say we have had the best time living together. I am ready to move into our new home, but I will truly miss spending as much time with Matt, Angela, and Anna Beth as we have been. I am going to have to steal Miss Anna Beth every once in a while so I can laugh like I have never laughed before, she definitely keeps us rolling. Here are a few pictures of our fun times!
Anna Beth and Angela playing tetris against each other while sitting on Matt!

Anna Beth dancing in front of the mirror! She is doing her "we did it" dance. (Dora the Explorer) By the way, the songs from those shows are very addicting, I have found myself singing them during the day at work!

Anna Beth showing us her silly face!

Finished hardwood, tile, and Al's special project

We are getting ever so close to getting finished..
Last week we had our hardwood sanded and finished. Thanks to several opinions all leading in the same direction we were able to get these beautiful floors! I just love them, they turned out even better the we had hoped!!

This is the tile (minus grout) in our bathroom!

Al painted what I wanted in the breakfast room and now he is on to his project. He is going to have a room with his video games and "guy stuff", so he is decorating it how ever he pleases! I have to say it has turned out very good!! This is his latest painting that is going to be above the couch in his room!

More fixtures, flooring, and a special touch!

I know that every woman has a talented husband in one way or another and my husband definitely does not disapoint. In fact, he is one of the most talented people I know. He has several different interests, but one he has just started using is his ability to paint. I wanted a saying above my breakfast room and this is the one we chose! He started it for me a couple of nights ago and I think it is turning out better than I had hoped!
Thanks to my brothers in law and Al we are starting the floors! I am very interested to see how they turn out because we have 6 different types of wood. We are going to have a dark stain so I will let you know how that turns out!

Extra bedroom fans........
