lots of updates!!!

Colby looking tired after a long night of doing the tile backsplash

My favorite view!



Took 4 of us to carry in the range top


We've also been working on finishing the master bathroom:

Deadlines are just suggestions, right???

Well, let's just say that January 1st came and went and we aren't done yet!!! Buuuut we're getting very very close. Here are a few pictures to prove it:
