My New Dishwasher!

I mentioned in the previous post that I got a new dishwasher a few weeks ago. We actually went to a 4th of July sale to get it because I'll admit, it's one convenience I'm not willing to go without. After almost 6 months of washing dishes by hand, I couldn't be more thrilled for a new one!

Before, I had a difficult time keeping my house clean because I always got so discouraged by the amount of dishes I had to do, but now I'm able to keep the house looking presentable (I say presentable because anyone with a toddler knows that's all anyone can expect)!

Installing the dishwasher was quite the feat! We decided to save $100.00 and install it ourselves, and this would have worked had it not been for the fact that the dishwasher didn't fit into the hole!
Sophie and I did make a really fun fort with the dishwasher box!


And here are the dishes just waiting to go into the dishwasher! As soon as we bought it, I stopped doing dishes. It meant our kitchen was a complete disaster for a few days, but I was at my dish doing limit!
We ended up having to saw off some little plastic pieces, and then the dishwasher fit just fine.
This dishwasher is one of the best things that ever happened to me! I don't even have to rinse the dishes before putting them in! Can life get any better? I submit that it cannot!

That's so exciting! I have a feeling ours is getting ready to give up the ghost (then again, I've felt that way for about a year). It just doesn't work as well as it used to. And I totally don't blame you for leaving loads once you bought it; I'd totally do the exact same thing!
