Honorary Husband of the Year

With Dan and Leah's permission, I would like to grant an Honorary Husband of the Year Award to David Sparks (valid from January 16, 2011 to January 15, 2012).  David and Leah are two friends of ours here in Corpus.  David has been the lucky one to get phone calls from Dan asking if he can come help move a recliner...put some tubs of clothes in the attic...and today's project - install a new under cabinet/over range microwave.  Dan helped David put up a shelf in their garage a few weeks back, but I think it's safe to say that the scales are tipped way in our favor given the hours he has helped us finish little projects that I can't do in my pregnant state!  And let's be honest, the microwave wouldn't have been completed by me in any state! :-)

Over the past 3 years, we have slowly been replacing all of our kitchen appliances from the white that we bought the house with to black.  The house is over 10 years old, and the appliances came with the house.  The refrigerator was the first to go (because it actually died) in 2009, last year we replaced the dishwasher (which was on it's last leg), and this year we did the stove (which, actually, was still in excellent shape - so we sold it on craig's list!).

The beginning of the project...

Dan drilling some holes...

David measuring...

I then went upstairs to finish cleaning out the soon-to-be nursery so we can start working on that!  When I came downstairs at little later - I got to see the finished product! (I love it!!)

THANK YOU, DAVID, FOR HELPING US FINISH UP OUR "BEFORE WE HAVE KIDS" PROJECTS!!!  (in orange and navy for your Eagle-Tiger National Champions! - and the Broncos)  I promise (I think) this is the last one!  We'll bake you some pumpkin bread in the new oven! :-)
