It's Gonna Be So Purdy

So today our granite countertops for the kitchen are getting put in. I can hear the guys out there working and I realize I'm nervous! I'm afraid to go out and see the progress. What if they do something wrong?? What if they mess something up?? What if I jinx it by looking at it too soon?? I hope I don't hear any of them say "Oops" or something.

I think it's just that after you've waited approximately two years for the kitchen to slowly get assembled into its finished state, each piece of it is a mixed bag of excitement and anxiety. If it had all been done in one fell swoop, I would've only had to go through the roller-coaster feelings once. But this way, I get to discover something new over and over and over again. Seven years' worth of "oh, this is so cool!"

Which is not to say that I recommend or find that worth spreading out a remodel job for seven years.
