As usual, we've been busy! Last Wednesday we went to Angelie Linthorst and Richard Staal's wedding reception in Gresham. They're living in the Netherlands, so it was fun to see them, along with all the other Linthorsts in town, plus some familiar old faces for me.
Rick and I at the wedding, I didn't get any pics of Angelie and Richard.
Dick & Peggy came up from Salem Friday evening and we had dinner together and Dick helped Rick with the concrete work we needed for our floor. Dick is definitely a perfectionist, so he's the right man for the job :)
Here's where our old hole was, all nice and filled! Austin is coming tomorrow and he and Rick will get everything all framed up! Hooray!
In other great house news, this week I saw a commercial on TV for a builders appliance supply warehouse (BASCO) that was having a public sale yesterday, so I got online and checked out some of their deals. They had a package deal-microwave, range and dishwasher-all stainless for a good price, so we decided we'd go check it out. We got there about 15 minutes before it opened and there were probably at least 100 people in line before us, which really discouraged me. I thought there was no way we'd get anything good, since they had limited amounts of everything. We walked in, walked right over the aisle we needed, grabbed the tags for everything we wanted, paid, and walked out 15 minutes later with all new stainless appliances-including a fridge, for $1400!! It was a bit more than we planned on paying, because we were just going to get bottom of the line white IKEA appliances, but we know it was well worth it to get such a good deal, and it only means increased value for the house, so we are very excited about that!!!
Yesterday was also Preston's 29th birthday so we met up with him, his girlfriend Rochelle and our old friend Aaron Arnell at the Ambassador for some karaoke and fun.

Me, Rachelle and P
Aaron (the karaoke king) and I (and yes, that is a tambourine on his head)
Hope all is well with y'all! We have another busy week. Heading to my Mom's tonight for dinner for some quality time with the Linthorsts before they leave, framing with Austin Monday, Tuesdsay night is my Grandma's 91st birthday and next weekend is Mother's Day! Sheesh!

Garon!! I miss that guy. Hey, we got our tile at Home Depot. We got stuff in the clearance area so it was way cheap. Luckily they had enough for what we needed.
