Oh My God!

Here is a post you are highly unlikely to ever see from us again…. We took our first bath in the new house! Odd that we share this with you? Yes, of course it is. But what the heck, we are talking to family and friends here…. and don’t even think of photos of us….:)
Point is this: Don’t believe we had taken a bath in over a year. But this was more than a bath. It was like being at a resort! Candles, wine, bubbles, warm water, music, soft lights, an outside view of our trees and the sky just before dark, a bit of steam, and thou…. Believe it or not, it was just the way we planned it to be, only better. We recalled hours and hours of designing the master bath, and endless hours building the master bath, including the floor, stud walls, shower prep, window installation, bathtub framing, tiling, laundry chute, painting, applying finish on the wood, install and wire the speakers, etc., and now we believe it was worth every second. Deb’s first words said it all….”you know, we deserve this..” And, in our humble opinion, we did. We actually took 45 minutes and absolutely relaxed, and the relaxation lasted the remainder of the evening. It was like magic. We will do this again, and again…… The photo is just a snippet of the whole scene, leaving the rest to your imagination. But, we are beginning to wonder just how many photos we are going to post, because if you come out to see us, nothing will be a surprise. What a dilemma!

Awesome! And certainly well deserved. Congratulations!

But, c'mon now, not even one pic of the hutch?! :-)

p.s. I found an age-old google id; wonder if I'll go back and comment on the whole blog...

Perfect! That photo alone says it all. Here's to deserving that first bath... and nicely done shot of a perfectly matched pour -- a perfect metaphor for you two. Nice to see all that hard work paying off so nicely! [ hmmm, looks like that bottle hasn't been opened yet, so hopefully it was a two bottle night.. :) ]

And don't worry about posting too many photos -- as beautiful as they are, I'm sure they don't do your home justice and we'll still be amazed and surprised. Congratulations indeed!

Love, DanO
