Just stuff

First, a kitchen update. When they came to install the granite on Saturday, Marvin noticed it was not the right color, we chose "blue pearl" and what they brought looked a lot more like "gray pearl", we were not happy because it looked too dark. The installers were not happy, they kept on saying there's different dimensions and tones to blue pearl however it really looked nothing like the one we wanted. Later on they called us to go to El Monte to the granite warehouse and choose the slabs we wanted color wise. Marvin and I drove there and looked at all the granite (we needed 5 slabs) and even though we didn't see any exactly like the one we originally chose, we chose some that was similar, just not as blue.

Now the granite and the sink are in place and it looks great, the porch is also finished.

In other news, on Sunday we had Marvin's family over to celebrate Bettie and Lee's 40th Anniversary. It was a challenge to organize it without a functioning kitchen, but it all worked very well. We were happy Lizzie came too :) I think they all had a good time. As usual Marvin did a great job deciding on the food and getting things ready.

I also started back to work this week. School begins September 2, but we had to test the new kindergarten children prior to assign them to the classrooms. We also needed to get the classrooms ready. It's hard to wake up early lol. This year we have another new Kindergarten team. It seems like every year we get someone different!
