In case I haven’t already said it, I love my kitchen!!!  Today as I was cleaning up in the kitchen, I ran two loads of dishes in the dishwasher, I cleaned the sink, I washed and put away dishes too big for the dishwasher, I wiped down counters, I turned on lights and turned off lights, and in general, I had a wonderful time!!!  Now, you may be wondering exactly who I am and what I’ve done with Christie… but I assure you it’s really me here!  Yes, I enjoyed cleaning my kitchen!  After so long without a real kitchen, it’s a luxury to be able to use a sink and sink sprayer, to turn on a garbage disposal, to put dirty dishes in a dishwasher, and to have a real place to put things.  It’s also amazing to me to have not only a light directly above the sink, but also to have a light directly above the stove!  I get so tickled when I can flip the lightswitch and have it actually do something.

I realized today that I’m truly grateful for my kitchen.  I really like it.  Please allow me to take this opportunity to thank my hardworking husband for making my kitchen so fun, and to thank God for teaching me so many lessons along the way.  And here’s a big thank you to all the friends and family who have helped us and encouraged us along the way.  We still have more to do, but the biggest parts are done.  It’s a dream-come-true.
