Mission Accomplished {I think}.

It's been another grueling week of cabinet painting.

Ugh. I'm over it already.

The good news is...

(Focus on the cabinets here, not the crock pots -- including that nice blue one we got for our wedding. Just cooking up some Costco-sized pork roasts. And imagine those golden oak floors a dark brown... somewhere down the road.)

...they are pretty much done.

I'm debating... to antique or not to antique.

I've decided I'll live with them a week or two, then make that call.

They are not perfect, but they are DONE. (Unless I decide to antique.)

A huge shout out to my main man, who, after a long day of work, would come home and help attach drawers, doors, and pulls.

I plan on doing the three upstairs bathroom cabinets next, followed by the laundry room, but think I'll give myself a little breaksie for a weeksie haha.

On Thursday we made another trip up to Ft. Collins for the temple open house. This time Bill had invited a couple of his co-workers, and Denise and her daughter Autumn (along with Cory - they are the couple that just got baptized) met us there. I also met up with Sarah - our friend who grew up in Parker, now attending CSU, and whose parents just moved to Arizona.

Again, it was beautiful, and a great opportunity for Bill to share some of our beliefs with some ladies he works with. I am, however, not fond of the drive... especially during pm rush hour traffic. We may have the blessing to go several more times with others we have invited to attend -- I just hope we can avoid that crazy 5-6:30pm travel time.

I whipped up these little invitations in the middle of my cabinet madness:

My neighbor just had her 7th baby, and we decided it would be the perfect time for a neighborhood get together. I'm hoping for good weather tomorrow and looking forward to mingling with my awesome neighbors.

Bill got to see the BYU game last night (we don't have cable, so I assisted in helping him find a locale at which to view it -- thanks, Batemans!!), and Mar attended a Rockies game for a friend's birthday. AND they got on the jumbo-tron TWICE.

I stayed home and decompressed. And folded laundry.

Happy Labor Day!
