OK - here it is...the new oven. I am a new woman and have been a baking fool. The roast came out pretty good and I've made some cookies too. I got a new vent too as you can see:
My flash really reflected. Anyway you can get the idea. I am eager to use it but at the same time, I don't want to get it dirty. I made BBQ chicken wings the nite we got it and they dripped on the bottom. I was traumatized. But I lived. The door actually closes and it's so easy to open! I just don't know what to do with myself. I think I spent half my grocery budget today on things to bake. Oh and when I cook on a skillet...it's actually level! My food stays where I put it and doesn't move to one side. Now that is something! I had happy eggs this morning.
The milestone: Saturday nite, when we were getting ready to take the oven off the truck, Taylor asked if she could back my car out of the garage. She's been able to drive for some time...her mom would let her drive in their apartment complex parking lot and Chance has driven with her in the truck on his grandparents land. But I've never seen her get in by herself and drive. We plan to give her my car (if it's still alive by the time she can drive) and I will get a new one. She tells me that she got to back her grand dad's truck in the driveway the other day and that if she's going to inherit the car, she should practice driving it. So, I give in. There she goes...she gets in and starts it. Chance is standing close by to talk her through it - it's a tight squeeze getting the mirrors through the garage door. There she goes, all by herself...backing it out to the end of the driveway. It was dark but that smile lit up the whole yard. It was the eeriest feeling seeing her do that. I told her that she is supposed to stay our baby and not do such grown up things. I don't think I'm over it yet. I'll probably break down and bawl when Tristan backs the car out the first time. Why do they grow up so fast???
Well that's all for tonite. I'm doing last minute laundry and trying to get to bed. I'll write again soon (when I'm not baking!) LOL

Your new oven is all pretty. I wish that I had that kind of oven, because I would have had a lot more choices when I had to get one a few years ago (our coil broke, and I wasn't going to use it like that). But I like the look of your new oven. Also, I am slightly freaked out that my little sister (who should still be like 9 right?) is going to be driving this year, all legal and everything.
