One of the things I've really been looking forward to in the kitchen remodel was a new faucet for the sink. I know that sounds a bit silly, but it's true. The one we had was old, leaking, and the pull-down for the spray would as often as not come off in your hand, leaving you completely soaked from the suddenly-released force of the water no longer held in check by the filter that's on the end of the faucet. When it stayed in place, it would give you or the wall a gentle misting spray that would soon make everything very wet.
So, yesterday was a state holiday for Utah (Pioneer Day), and Mr. Perfect had the day off. I work for a company based in Minnesota, so I did not have the day off. As part of his "Hmmm...I'm home. What should I do?" thinking, he decided it was time to replace the faucet. Last fall (yes, last fall), we purchased a new faucet for the kitchen. And the box has sat in our kitchen every since...until yesterday. I was truly the Most Happy Girl when he told me at lunch that he was about half way through the process (he'd been able to get the old one off, and putting the new one one shouldn't take as long). And when I got home from work, this is what I found:
It's so lovely, I almost cried. I love my new faucet almost as much as I love Mr. Perfect.
(P.S. Pay no attention to the mess around the sink. Just concentrate on the beautiful stream of water coming from the new fixture.)

Eek! I'm so happy for you I could cry, too! Doesn't it feel so, so awesome to get something like that finally done? Even better when it's a surprise!
(No, the novelty of having a washer and dryer in my condo has not worn off yet...)
I know. I was so happy when I moved into a place that had washer/dryer hook-ups that I immediately when out and bought a pair. I think I stayed down in the basement for the entire first batch from into the washer until out of the drier.
