New digs!!

Happy Sunday!!! So, home renovations are still going...we have a kitchen that has no sink, our living room is a mess, the boys fish tanks are sitting on our dining room table...it's a mess:(
But, there is a bright spot in this whole crazy ordeal...
My workspace is the garage - it started out with a little table and grew it into a massive takeover


Obscene, isn't it? Yes...this is..was my workspace.
Once in awhile, my hubby surprises me with something either really off the wall (which is what he usually does) or, it's something so completely unexpected, he leaves me speechless.
Part of the whole renovation nightmare was new kitchen cabinets; so, one night while hubby and I were hanging out in the garage, he looks at my space and says, "You need cabinets."
"That would be lovely," I tell him.
"Why don't we put the old kitchen ones in here for you?"
"Yeah, right...like you would give up the garage for that."
"No, really...we paint the floor, put in the cabinets, and, bam! You have a workspace!"
Dead silence..."Seriously?"
"Yep!"
So, the journey began...
There they are!
My cabinet installers are 5 of the greatest guys I know...my brothers and my hubby ( that's him in the blue)
This is the engineering part of the plan...
This was an awesome moment...realizing that these guys were doing this in support of me and what I do...
And, the final layout...there were a few times during the install that I felt near tears because my brothers gave up a Saturday to do this for me...they are the best.
I spent my Sunday moving stuff in and, it was awesome...no, I'm not done yet...having cabinets is kind of hard to get used to...it's like being in a parking lot that has a lot of empty spaces...there's so many to choose from, you don't know where to park. Well, in my case, I have so much stuff, I don't know where to put it...would you believe I started to put my boxes on the floor in the corner and hubby's, like, what are you doing? Duh...
My body is sore from all of the packing, moving of stuff...and, then, the unpacking; I have been only getting 4-5 hours of sleep since renovations have started...two months ago...but, walking into the garage and seeing my new workspace makes me forget all that...what started as an idea from my love is a reality because of him and 4 really incredibly awesome brothers...
Have a great week...I know I will!
