A Wonderful, Heartfelt Gift

A little more than a month ago Shelly and I decided it was finally time to purchase a brand new washer and dryer and since everything's on sale the week of Thanksgiving we made our purchase. For years we've wanted to "finish off" the laundry room with things such as cabinets, a hanging rod, etc. and given the recent purchase, the time had finally come to pull the trigger.

We called upon the big guns for a project like this....Deb Weiland! She came over and worked out a plan with us and then basically became the contractor given this is what she does for a living and not to mention her vast amount of contacts in the area. She was able to design a beautiful room for us and we were so excited to move forward! Over the course of two days the people she contracted out for us came in and did an absolutely beautiful job! In fact, Peanut even helped out by testing the durability of the drawers before the counter top was installed:

Upon completion of the frame-work and the cabinets, Shelly and I took off for the weekend only to return home to an absolutely beautiful room that had been completely finished! Not only that, on Christmas morning a little surprise was waiting for us. Joe and Deb gave Shelly and I a box to open which contained the invoice marked "Paid In Full." Mom, we can't begin to tell you how thankful we are for your labor of love. We know how much time you must have spent on this project and its not something that goes unnoticed. Words can't begin to describe our gratitude to both you and Dad for this most wonderful gift. Without further ado....our new Laundry Room:
