I owe Spencer BIG...

Eeek, I am so excited! I must have done something good because Spencer gave me an AWESOME gift yesterday!We replaced ALL the kitchen appliances! Well, all the big ones anyway. :) We went to RC Willey and bought a new dishwasher, fridge and stove! Yay! All from the GE Profile line, and all stainless steel. Because of the holiday our work schedule is kinda funky this week, and I ended up with Friday off, so everything is being delivered Friday morning and the guys will come to install the dishwasher Friday afternoon. Which means that while Spencer is at work, I'll be able to get all the food moved into the new fridge and have everything cleaned, and even make him dinner on our NEW stove! Ack, I'm so excited!




The dishwasher has SmartRelease Technology, which means I can just fill the thing up with soap and it will release the right amount each load, and will just tell me when it's empty. And all the controls are on the top of the door instead of the front, so it's super sleek. This is gonna be really nice because our current dishwasher is starting to go on the fritz and not work as well.

The fridge has a bottom freezer and french doors. It has 26 cubic feet of space, which is HUGE! I LOVE it! The freezer opens as a draw and actually has another drawer inside to maximize space.




The stove is absolutely awesome. It has a full size oven with a second warming oven underneath, that's actually fully functional, so I can bake and broil in it! The range and main oven are gas and the warming oven is electric, so it just plugs into the regular 110 outlet, which is great cause we don't have a 220 installed and I really don't want to rewire the kitchen. Electricians are expensive!

Sheesh

Well, too much has happened to catch up on all of it, so I guess I'll just pick up from here and hopefully get back into the habit of posting. Not that anyone reads this, but at least I can say I've accomplished something.

One of my coworkers is having a baby in May, and I decided this would be a good opportunity to learn how to sew/quilt. I never really learned how to do either. So I went to the fabric store, went nuts, and lemme tell you this quilt is gonna be bea-utiful! I'm really excited. It's purple and gold and I'm trying to give it a very regal feeling. Instead of making this girl into a princess I'm gonna make her into a queen! Plus it helps relieve the anxiety of not having one of my own yet. I'm so really do be pregnant.

I applied for a new job recently. I've decided I've grown and learned as much as I can in my current position, so when an Assistant Supervisor position opened up in our central office, I completely jumped on it. It would NOT be a pay cut (like moving over there normally would be); I wouldn't have to wear a uniform; I would have my own people. I'm really excited and I just feel really sure that this is my next step and this is where I'm supposed to go. I hope I don't have too much competition for the job because I WANT it! And I'll do whatever I have to do to get it! So keep your fingers crossed and pray for me; I should know within the next week or two (hopefully) if I get an interview!
