Oh man, this weekend was exhausting! I haven't looked forward to the week like this in a long time. Friday night I helped my mom obtain all the materials for her countertops. I felt the plague descend upon me that evening. Saturday we went to my mom's house in the morning to start working. I kept getting worse and worse as the day continued. We worked until almost 11pm that night and I was so sick when we got home it was hard to fall asleep. Don't you just hate those times when you're sick and exhausted AND can't sleep?? Aye yi yi. We got a lot done that day though, although not as much as we planned.

Yesterday helped me to get a bit better. We stayed home from church, and I wound up sleeping until 1:30pm! I haven't done that since Mikayla was born. I needed it though. Later that day Mikayla threw up on herself twice... I was scared she was getting some type of stomach bug, but luckily it was an isolated incident!

I'm feeling more human today, although not completely up to parr. Tonight we got the grout in on one of the counters, and mortared down the tiles onto the other counter. Tomorrow night Ian will help my mom put in the sink and faucet, and she'll grout the other counter and it'll all be done! That is, until the backsplash and floor.... LoL Maybe next month. :)

Here are a couple bad phone pics of the progress:

Ian and I are going to the Phantom of the Opera at Buell Theater WEDNESDAY! It was somewhat spur of the moment. I've always enjoyed that musical and have been dying for it to come into town again. When it came it was more of a debate as to whether or not to spend the money.... but today I decided to look for seats. All the weekends were completely sold out, and the week nights (it ends next weekend) only had lame balcony seats left. Then wednesday of this week happened to have the front row of the orchestra section open. It's right behind the so called "golden circle". The seats were just too good to pass up. We are so excited, and it will be fun to have a date night adventure!
