Kim's dad stayed with us until Tuesday, so we got to spend the early part of the week with him. Our new stove was delivered and installed, and we love it. Okay, fine, we haven't actually cooked out it yet since we've had other activities every night this week, but it looks great in the kitchen!
Saturday we cleaned the house and finally mowed the lawn. Since it's been so dry, it's probably been a month or so since we've done that... Although there are still some huge brown patches, at least the "grass" is all one length now! We've also been watering it a few times a week in hopes of getting it to green up before we have a cook out at our house next weekend. It's probably futile, but oh well. On Saturday afternoon, we headed to Danielle's house to celebrate her law school graduation.
We woke up on Sunday morning to the great news that we're now Aunt Kim and Uncle Eric! We're very excited and can't wait to meet our new niece...who has yet to be officially named :)
We then decided to do something spontaneous and find a place to go canoeing/kayaking. We lucked out and found one about 30 minutes away and we took the two hour canoe trip down the Little Miami. (They also offer four hour and all day rentals...might have to try one of those next time!) We had a great time floating down the river, and there was only one spot that was so low we had to get out and push. (Did we mention that we could use some rain here?) We hope to get a group of friends together to go again soon!
Last night we went to an office cookout at Kim's coworkers. He and his wife throw great parties and make delicious food, so we ate really well! There was a cornhole tournament, a bonfire, and lots of laughs.
Today is probably going to be house project day. We need to get longer screws for the hardware we bought for the kitchen cabinets, and we need to go buy the new lights we picked out for the dining room and living room. Unfortunately, we're probably going to have to find someone with scaffolding to install them...the cathedral ceilings are great until you have to attach something at the peak! We're also putting our last coat of paint on our cornhole set, so hopefully we'll have pictures of that soon.
Current gas price: $3.61/gallon.
