Kitchen to be, or not to be?

Have you heard the most extremely strange, awesome total Blessing from the Majestic Lord of All that has happened most receintly in our meager little lives? A week ago today (Friday) as I was headed out the door for work, I got a call and this random woman wanted to speak with Erin. I told her she was busy (thinking she was a telemarketer) and asked if I could take a message. She proceeded to tell me that she was calling in regard to a drawing we had entered at the Puyallup Fair (in September!) and that we had won either $1,500 cash or a $10,000 kitchen makeover! I was so stunned that I took her name and number and said I would have Erin call her back, still not believing what I had just heard. Would you? So, I took the phone and number to Erin and relayed to her my doubt as to the authenticity of this call but, hey, may as well call her back and see what the catch is. She called her back. No catch. We win! The people are coming out this next Tuesday to look at our kitchen and tell us what they can do for that amount of money. I posted these pictures of our kitchen so you can see what it looks like before then we will do it again for an what it looks like after. Whoooeee, I'm Excited! Praise the Lord!
We had snow, sleet, hail and big hail, rain and fog this week. Crazy. Here is Ella enjoying some of it in our back yard. See the hose in the back ground? Our dog loves to chey, eat, drag it around the yard as if it was a python that wanted to attack the children and it is her responsibility to protect them by destroying it and every other piece of landscaping we have done to the yard over the past 3 years.
