Wow, time flies..
Let's start with the bad. After my Nana's surgery, she started having troubles breathing on Saturday. Things went downhill further from there, and she passed away on Monday night. I still can't believe she's gone, it was just way too soon. Before she went in for surgery we were talking about how 'easy' of a procedure it is, and then just bam, she's gone. I did the eulogy at her funeral, and although it was difficult, I think it showed what she meant to her family. I think it will really start to sink in come the holiday season. Crazy to think last time we had a good talk, she was talking about being excited about becoming a great grandmother... and now that will never happen. Crazy. Life is so short.
Ahh, as far as the kitchen goes - Not going so great. I went in and paid the deposit on February 16th, and they said it would be done in 2 weeks. Well, 4 weeks later they're finally ready, awesome. The install was scheduled for 8AM Friday morning and I was going to go into work about 30 minutes late so I could see the countertops, at least just a peek! By 9:30, they still weren't here so I assumed they were just running behind and I went to work. Jamie texted me at 10:30 asking if they were still coming so I gave them a call. I talked to the guy I've been dealing with and he said he was just about to call me. I guess as they were laying the laminate they discovered that the other sheet didn't match the dye lot of the sheet already laid. So they have to then go out and get another sheet, and THEN lay that, and THEN do the bevel edge and let that cure for a few hours. I have no idea why we weren't informed of this beforehand, because obviously if they hadn't even laid the laminate yet there would be no way they'd be there at 8AM on Friday. He says that it will likely be ready that afternoon so we go on that. He calls me around 2PM and says that they're done and look awesome, but that it's not a bad idea to wait overnight just to make sure that they've sat long enough and cured properly. Sucks to go another night without a kitchen (we'd already ripped out the old countertops and sold the old sink on Thursday), but at least I could be there to see the install so that sounded good.
We went to bed super early on Friday because he said they would be there right at 8AM... We're up at 7:30 on Saturday and still no one is here by 9:15. I get an email from the guy saying theres been a slight delay and they should be here ASAP. They show up around 10 and bring in the massive slab of countertop (L shaped). They also tell us that they forgot the piece next to the stove and it would have to wait until Monday - Weird but whatever. They get the piece into place, plop it down and.... it doesn't fit. The overhang is essentially on the inside of the cabinets. It looks like the guy who did the measure (the owner) wrote down the correct width for the bar top, and measured the total length of the countertop, but forgot to actually ADD the additional 12" to the sheet. BAHHHHHHH. So they cut the beautiful (incorrectly sized) countertop in half and haul it back out. It's looking like it will be midweek now... Hopefully. I'm excited to talk to the owner and see what they were thinking, come on now!
Anyways, I'm tired and tomorrow is Monday so it's bedtime for me (after a little bit more real housewives of OC) so I think I will end this here. Overall it's pretty negative, but things will be looking up soon. We booked a trip to Vegas June 18th-22nd and we will offically be starting to TTC on that trip! If everything works out perfectly we'll have a baby due mid March next year, right around this time actually - Crazy!!!
Lots more going on but I will update soon!
