Daily Tide 10.23: Mr. Beautiful

Something wonderful did happen on our last trip to Lowes :)

Can you spot him in the picture below?

I will confess that I have dreamt, coveted, nigh-on begged for a new kitchen sink...

But the one that came with the house was perfectly fine...

Though I am not quite sure I understand the thought behind stainless steel sinks...

Because water does not do stainless steel any favors...

My friends will testify that I actually dried out my sink after each use because, even though I wasn't a fan of this old boy, I did my due diligence to keep him nice and shiny...

And so, while waiting for our paint to be mixed, Matt and I zigzagged up and down the home improvement aisles...
Matt has heard my pining for a new sink...
He has even dried out the ole stainless steel sink a few thousand times himself...
Let just take a peak shall we?
Hello Mr. Beautiful Black Granite Sink that makes my heart pitter-patter...

"Matt, it could be my birthday present?!?"
"You already got lots of birthday presents..."
"That's because you keep giving them to me early... This one can really be for my birthday..."
"I've heard that before... how many birthday presents have you gotten this year...I've lost count..."
"Puh-lease..."
"This is your real last birthday present my love"

Matt was smiling as he put the big black box in our basket.
I was smiling bigger :)

And so, the next afternoon, it was out with the old and in with the new...

Our friends stopped by that afternoon, I got distracted and forgot to take more pictures of the progress... to busy talking, laughing, eating pizza, and watching Matt do his thing...
He's so sexy when he's in the zone, doing his thing...

Another successfully completed DIY by Matt :)

 I love you Mr. Beautiful Black Granite Sink.

 Thank you best hubby ever.  It's my favorite birthday present!
