Jamie's wedding.

So, it seems Jamie got married to a girl in his class.  He let it slip tonight at dinner.  But he promised that he didn't kiss her, so I think it might not be official.  There were witnesses, though, and he did hug her, so I'm not really sure.
But later that evening, he invented a new instrument: the fartcordian.  I'm pretty sure his bride would not be impressed, but we were.  Enjoy:

Granite

UbaTuba for the win!

After spending the day yesterday picking out granite and getting quotes, our contractor proved that we could get granite countertops cheaper than any of the solid surface materials I found at Lowe's or Home Depot.  I had no idea.

It just so happened that my mom just got through putting the very same granite in her kitchen last fall.  Also, no idea.

Demolition

It seems like a mistake to take out perfectly decent walls, but I'm told this is all going to be worth it.  

 Bath, anyone?

Moving On...

We bought this house last week:

We are working on the inside right now.  It'll be a few weeks until we can move in.  It's on Mercer Island, just outside of Seattle.

We'll show before and after photos as projects are completed.
