Our valentine's day present is a stove

heavyarms02's daughter arrived safely last Wednesday, as most of the flist knows, which is in part why I have been so scarce. The other part is because I got to be sick with the flu, which started on Thursday night.

Despite this, we managed to get down to Lowes and purchase the stove, and the plumber came by today to hook it up--since we had problems with gas line to the water heater being clogged, it made much more sense for him to come by to do it, then if the line needed blowing out or replacement, he could take care of it immediately.

So we now have a stove, and I'm healthy enough to fully appreciate it. Goodbye to inadequate hotplate and toaster oven... good riddance to no counter space... we can actually COOK!
