now we've done it!

well, it finally happened. something went horribly wrong and forced us to begin the remodel of our kitchen, that we have been planning/putting off for years. just in time for the grand opening of our ikea! our water heater exploded. the worst part about it really is that we had been thinking about replacing it, but were planning to get one of those fancy gas heaters that keeps you in constant hot water... we needed a new one today- so we just got a regular electric one. now we will probably never get the one we really wanted. the best part is, we had to tear out a wall of the kitchen to get to the exploded one! i know, "how can that be the best part?" you ask yourself. well, i have wanted to tear out that wall for as long as we have lived here. and now i did. and now we can continue with the plans we had laid for remodeling the kitchen. around here, everything begins with something dramatic. well the new water heater is installed and working properly, so tomorrow i wont have to go to my BFF's for a shower. and i can finish the laundry. and wash the dishes.
