On the home front

My mom got Matt a pizza pizazz (sp?) for his birthday. We tried it out that night with a homemade pizza. It was delicious and so fast. Now he is always offering to make pizza.
Taylor wasn't sure that she liked the icing on her fingers

I have been trying to take advantage of my days off and try to finish some projects around the house. The kitchen has turned into a summer long project. We put the new countertops on and installed a new garbage disposal and faucet this week. Unfortunately, when we went to turn the water back on the valve broke. Tom was able to come try to fix it for us but when the water company came to turn off the water to the house outside that valve also broke. So, they will be coming back sometime in the coming week to dig up our front yard and replace parts. We do however have water now. I am hoping to accomplish many things today as my dad is coming up to teach me how to turn off the gas so I can move the stove to paint behind and tile under it. I will post before and after pictures of the kitchen when it is finally done. My goal is to get all the home improvement projects done before the semester begins. It will be sad to leave this house in 2 years after we put so much work into it but I'm hoping to move to a bigger house and Matt is hoping to move to a house that doesn't need any work so he doesn't have to help me anymore.
