Updated kitchen and weekend fun

The work week was pretty uneventful as we spent most of our time prepping for a big BBQ at our house on Saturday. We did, however, get hardware installed on the kitchen cabinets. We love the new look, as it really seems to modernize the look. Unfortunately, now it really makes us want new countertops! We had planned to buy new lights for the kitchen, but that didn't end up happening. When we went back to buy them, we decided we didn't love them as much as we originally thought. Oh well, plenty of time for that! Here's an after picture of the cabinets (see last week's entry for a before photo):



As we mentioned, we had a big BBQ at our house on Saturday, and we invited friends from both of our offices to join us. One of Eric's coworkers actually flew in from Florida and another drove in from Cleveland. Apparently we're popular :) Since there were so many out-of-towners, Eric and some of his coworkers decided to hang out on Friday as well. It was a late night for them!

We spent all day Saturday cooking and cleaning before the party. We also took a few minutes to christen the new cornhole set:





Everyone seemed to have a great time at the party, and we were glad that we were able to get everyone together. We had waaaaay more food and drinks than necessary, though. Looks like we'll be eating hamburgers and drinking soda for several weeks.

Today we're meeting up with two other couples for dinner and to see the Journey concert. Unfortunately, the concert doesn't even start until seven, so it's going to be a late night for us. And we're going to miss the first regular season Bears game. :( Go Bears!
