Yep, Matt worked really hard to get that stove in. It seems the stove that came with our house was a 27 inch drop in. You can't get a new 27 inch drop in stove for less than $1,000! So we bought a nice 30inch freestanding stove and a saw (actually an angle grinder, but I don't know this stuff). Matt did most of the demolition while I was at work. He was able to cut the granite tile on our counter top before I got home. I helped out the rest of the night with the cutting and the measuring and especially the cleaning. But the stove fit, it works great, and I am so happy!
Also on Saturday we decided to adopt some cats. I grew up with cats and have always loved having them around. Now that we have a house we decided we could get a couple and see how it goes. (it may go badly because I can't keep house plants alive). So we went to the pet store where they sponsor shelter adoptions and found ourselves a set of brothers. I still can't tell them apart except they have different color collars.
These little guys were from the house of a "hoarder" - or a Crazy Cat Lady. They had been taken from there to the shelter. They were both scared to death at the pet store, but they were still so cute and soft! We had to get them.
We brought them home and they immediately hid. They spent most of Saturday under the entertainment center. On Sunday we could only find one of them. After church we could still only find one of them. We went to my mom's birthday party, and then we couldn't find either of them! We looked and looked. Then, when we didn't think there was another place to look I was struck to look under the track of the treadmill. And there they were.
One of our little guys has been brave and will come sit on our laps. The other guy is still scared to death of everything. Hopefully he will feel better soon.

Poor little kitties. They look like Rainey.
How did you get his picture??? They look like nice little fellers.
They do look like Rainey - maybe that is another reason I liked them so much.
I got the picture of the really scared one when he was hiding behind a picture that was leaning on the wall. I just moved the picture and he tried to pretend I wasn't there. The other cat comes out a lot, so he was easy.
Not the best pictures, but they are cute.
