In fact, we laughed when we first moved in seeing the "granite" advertisement on the side of our neighbors truck in the driveway. We found humor knowing that we were never going to have the funding (a pastor and teacher salary only goes so far...usually enough to pay for groceries and gas) to have him come over and give us an estimate... Oh the Irony. He, Kurt, and his wife Rachel are wonderful. We have immediately befriended them and their children. It was before we even moved into the home that I called him to get his ideas on a bathroom fix (after a disappointing experience with our Electrician). He gave us ideas, and then said he would "take care of us." He wasn't kidding. A week later our bathroom vanity was topped off with a custom measured and installed granite top. (WOW!!! IT was beautiful. and affordable).
He said...when you get ready for the kitchen give me a call...we thanked him and moved forward on the renovation. It was time for the kitchen...We priced laminate, and then called Kurt. As you can tell from the pictures...He gave us a Great deal and again we have been humbled in this home renovation process.
(SIDE NOTE: Truth be told...Sunni and I both felt VERY OVERWHELMED by the process of picking out the actual slab of granite from the warehouse. I mean, it felt like we were on an HGTV show and our budget was endless...)
I will never say that God blessed me with granite. To be honest it just doesn't mean that much to me. But God certainly has blessed us with friends and family who continue to feed into us; encouragement, hope and love. We are overflowing with appreciation for the beloved people who point us back to Christ on a daily basis. We are blessed! (and the counter tops look great too;)
