So proud...so busy

Well, the last couple of weeks, Rob has really made me proud! He's never expressed his interest in building things. He's a genius with computers, yard work, your normal 'honey do's' around the house, etc. We decided to tackle the long, over due, very unorganized garage that has been hanging over our heads for 2 years now.

Linda came over and helped watch Braeden while we went through it all. I decided that I wanted to 'clean house' with getting rid of ALL my skinny clothes, cause let's just face it, I am NOT getting in those anytime soon! I was certainly hoping that Rob would find some things that he wanted to get rid of...no such luck. I mean, Rob has everything you need for campings, snowboarding, skiing, concerts, any water sports, and he couldn't find one thing. ha! He dragged out everything out of the garage and had it seperated out in the yard. People were actually driving by thinking that we were having a yard sale!

As we were going through some of Rob's old toys, misc. in containers, we found a pair of sandals that he wore. We put them on Braeden and they fit! It was humbling to see that!

Rob's goal was to get shelves and put all the containers on there so he could fit his corvette inside. He researched and researched all the shelving options. He left, with me thinking he was going to spend $100 or so on them, no big deal. WELL, he was gone for hours and spent $420! I was furious! $420? Are you serious? Our neighbor mentioned to him that they could build storage. So, off they went to return everything and get wood.

After 2 nights of hard work, the job was complete and impressive! They actually built a floor above the garage door. It held everything that we have and didn't even fall down! Good work, honey!
