The bank approved our loan extension. Thank you First National Bank in Trinidad, Laura Aiello and Jeff Mangino! It is just so cool to work with a small-town local bank who knows you, knows what you're about and is there to help. Now if we can't come in under this revised budget, I'll just have to go out and kill myself.

| Granite for the Kitchen |
We picked out our granite for the kitchen on Monday. It's so beautiful. Me, always the bargain hunter, went for this beautiful couple of slabs. They had a hole in the top of the slabs, and therefore were marked down. I think they look beautiful. And of course, after they lay out our kitchen and start to cut the slabs, no one will ever know that there was a hole there.
I'm trying so hard to build this house within budget. The stucco really screwed things up. That alone is taking 10% of my total loan. Not a good thing. I had hoped that Les and I would be able to do the inside ourselves. It's just not going to happen, though. It sucks getting older.

We bought our kitchen table the other day while we were in Pueblo. It's just so fun to go into places like that with Les. He's such a character. We walked into the dining room section, and within moments found our table. We both walked up to the same table set, sat down and said, "This is it." The salesman strode up while Les was checking the sturdiness of the table. Then Les mentioned something about having sex on it.
I know -- Too much info!
