New stove!

I'm so excited about my new stove! Unfortunately, I cannot use it yet because we have to do some rewiring since we previously had a gas stove. I will have to wait until my dad can get some time to come and do that for us. Thankfully, it is summer and we can grill until then!


My friend, Brianne just moved into her house this past weekend and her daughter was scared to be home alone today while Brianne was at work, so I took her shopping with me. We were on a mission to find some wall stickers for her room. She loves horses and wanted some horses to put on the wall. We had a heck of a time finding them, but ended up finding some at Menard's. We also found a cool stick-on that is chalkboard material. She loves to play school, so that will be fun for her to have.

Expensive Day!

After seeing the price of the flight to Columbia, SC go up twice now and no signs of it going back down, I decided to finally book the tickets. The booking price (for flight and rental car) ended up being $579 per person, which is quite a bit than it was when I first started looking. Oh well, I am very excited to see my sister-in-law after her being gone all summer! And very excited to see her graduate and accomplish another milestone in her life.

Tonight I was going to make a frozen pizza for supper. I turned the oven on to preheat and it seemed to be taking forever to preheat. I went and opened the door and it was cold inside. So, after checking it out, it seemed that it was completely dead - except the stove-top part of it still works. So, the pizza went back in the freezer and we went out stove shopping. Found one that I really liked at Menard's for $599 and they would have to order it and it wouldn't be here until next Friday. Being the shopper that I am, we decided to look at other places. We went to Sears next. They had quite a few that I liked and even the same one that I liked at Menard's, but it was almost $100 cheaper at Sears! So, we ordered the one from Sears and it should be here Thursday! I have hated the stove that I've had since we moved into this house (came with the house), but I always said that we'd use this one until it died. So, I guess it's the time now.
