New Camera!!!

So this past weekend we finally got a new camera - yeah!!! I read some online reviews and was ready to buy immediately...Brad of course wanted to read EVERY review on every site and it was looking like we weren't going to have a camera for a very long time. :) But then when Brad's dad was down working on the house on Saturday he brought along his Costco ad to see if we wanted anything there. Brad noticed there was a camera on sale that he thought he'd read good reviews about. So he looked it up and sure enough - it was supposedly a great camera (we got it MUCH cheaper than the price listed on the above link -thanks Costco!).

So we decided after working on the house to drive with his dad and we bought it! So far I'm liking it - the buttons are similar to my last camera so it works out well. So here are a few pics of what we worked on this weekend. We bought baseboards/window/door casing for the family room which was primed and needed a few coats of glossy white topcoat. So I painted them while Brad and Randy sanded and stained a built in bookshelf in our living room & worked on the hutch in the dining room. Both the hutch and bookshelf used to be a yellow-ish blond wood that was pretty hideous. I think they both look great so far! Soon, Brad's dad is bringing down the glass and doors for the hutch and then I can finally put away all my nice wedding china which has been inhabiting every free office space.





And I'm including a picture of the 1/2 bath...I can't remember if I ever posted a pic since we finished it. But now we have our curtain up (thanks to Barb!) and so it's official!


Finally- I found this quick and easy recipe through kraft's site. Brad and I are always both starving by the time he's home from work and we've been trying to find quick and yummy recipes so we can mix it up once in awhile. We really like this one - we do add spicy mustard to the cheese instead of so much mayo.
