Before I talk about the "above" picture {which will have to be later this week} which gives a "peek" where we have been the past 12 days...I must start this whole post at the "end"...the day we came home~
Six days into my trip...I talked to my husband on the phone and he said he had a "surprise"...
He went on telling me he bought me a dishwasher (I really needed a new one). I was excited but in midst of his shopping he bought me stainless steel and I have black appliances. I wasn't sure if it would match or look right. But, I tried to keep my doubts to myself b/c how sweet it is that he went "dishwasher" shopping for me and came home during his lunch hour for them to deliver!!!!
On the day returning, I was checking my home voicemail box and there were at least 10 messages from the company he bought the dishwasher from. I thought...my goodness they call a lot for one little ole' dishwasher.
We arrived home...my kids went in first...as I went through the door my kids were frozen in one spot. I quickly told them to "move on" as I seem to be the only one carrying anything from a packed car. As I looked past them...
My husband had purchased not only a dishwasher but stove and a microwave and the most sleekest refrigerator ever. 
I was shocked!
To put the cherry on top...
There on the kitchen island were a peach roses~
He literally spent the entire week shopping...comparing...installing appliances! He even bought all the appliances from Kitchen Aid b/c it matched my "mixer"...OH MY goodness! Speechless I still am....
To top it off...he went grocery shopping and stocked the new frig with some of our favorite foods and "staples"....
My husband is very careful with money and what is just almost more amazing than anything is that he was saving for something else he wanted for a long time and he spent it on me instead....
simply speechless ...

Wow!!!!!
LOVE it all-what a lucky girl you are-that is what I am hoping to have soon at our main house-our fridge has bit the dust, but everything else is just fine...do I replace with Stainless steel, or white like what I already have??? I wish Mr. Sandy Toes would make the decision for me!
How did you make the candle light??I love it!!! I need a few of those-or did you buy it up here??!! I will be off to buy it in town.
We had soo much fun with you all-glad you are home safe!
I love your refrigerator! Obviously your family wants you to continue cooking, so that's a good sign. LOL

SOOO glad you stopped by today and left me that sweet comment. I have been such a blogging slacker lately that your comment directed me back to your site...must add you to my faves! Hey, by the way, your husband scored so major points with the kitchen surprise! Now, maybe I should leave your blog on my screen for my hubby to see. I am dying to have a stainless fridge to match everything else! Hugs!
OK, I am speechless and totally want to give you my phone number to pass on to your hubby so he can call my hubby and give him the low down on how he accomplished all of this fabulousness!!!
I am SO happy for you! What an awesoem surprise....and PLEASE tell me you staged your frig to look that organized...please. Lie to me if you have too. LOL
