New oven!

I've been planning on posting this for a while but have had trouble with the pictures so it took forever. Anyway, we moved into our house and the oven was the only appliance that came with it. And it was no surprise that they didn't want it. The oven part worked pretty well, but the stovetop was another story. It was nasty! Something ate through it and left it such a mess that the burners wouldn't work well at all. The back left one worked okay, but the other ones had two settings - on, and off. They would either burn my food or not cook it. So, so obnoxious. The handle on the door kept falling off and was stripped, so it would never last long when Will would put it back on. The side of the glass door on the front was falling off, you can see in the picture some lovely duct tape meant to hold it on. It obviously didn't work very well. One time the glass door fell out when I opened the oven. Yeah, basically, we REALLY needed a new one. We had to wait a couple of months though. We got a gift card from Sears for $625 for doing our new furnace with them, so we used that. We wanted to get it on Black Friday to get a good deal, but it didn't work (of course) because something went wrong with activation and it never went through. It ended up not being a big deal though, because the deals they had weren't great anyway. We went to a bigger store, and they had a good deal on one we liked. And then since they had to order it in, they gave us $50 off! Totally worth the wait, in my opinion.

And our new oven! We love it. (I was making caramel popcorn in the picture...)
