New Stove and Barstools

Okay, so I don't have a cute child to show off, so I am totally into my "new" home and updating it. Ted and I got a stove today and I LOVE it! It is a flattop with (drumroll, please...) my favorite feature --a double oven! The smaller oven heats up in minutes and can cook just about anything. The lower oven can be used for the bigger items. I am super excited because I bake Christmas cookies and have friends come over to bake too and this way we have two ovens. Also, it will save on electricity by just using the smaller oven for most recipes. (You may have noticed the vent does not match. That was a whole fiasco. We ordered an over the counter microwave to match the stove and the store did not tell us we might need an outlet installed in the cabinet above the stove. An electrician came out and said it would cost around 800 dollars to create another circuit to get an appropriate "up to code" outlet up there! We said, 'No thank you, not right now.' So we will either get a vent hood that matches for around 150 or get a microwave installed up there later.)

We also got a really good deal on a table and chair set (all hardwood) and just got the matching barstools in! Here are some pictures. 

I just finished my last graduate class until September and have made straight A's so far! 25 graduate hours in Educational Leadership from UCCS in the last 9 months! Whew! I am tired! Our last professor went around our class and asked each of us why we were pursuing a Type D license (Administrator's License). My answer got a laugh out of everyone. I was completely honest when I said, "I am doing this to keep busy while my husband is in Iraq. I thought it would be fun." I have to say, it has kept me busy.  I am still one of the Co-Principal's for Summer School. We are half way through. Only 10 more days! :)
