An Early Mother's Day

I got an early Mother's Day surprise today. Two weeks ago, I found a refurbished WonderMill on Ebay. I've been using my mom's mill for the past year, but if we're going to commit to this bread baking thing....it was time to have my own mill. We decided to get it, and I told Michael that it would be my Mother's Day gift. We decided to go ahead and let the kids wrap it so they could feel like they had a part in it. So...it came today, and when he came home from work he was super antsy to wrap it and let them give it to me NOW. He kept saying how excited HE was for me to be able to use it. Ok....it's a MILL. I was excited to get it, but I thought it was a little strange that he was so excited about it. So, they wrapped it up, and brought it to me. I opened it and started to take it out. Then they informed me that there was something missing. The next thing I know, Michael is bringing out another large box. He got me a stand mixer too!! I have been wanting one for years!! So here is what my counter looks like now.



That's my bread machine in the middle. I am SO going to need a big kitchen when we move. :)
