Having a home is expensive. When things break, you have to pay to fix them, or you have to have a really handy husband. So when I left for California a couple of weeks ago, I left a list of "to-do's" for Joel. Not really expecting him to have much time, I categorized the lists into 2 sections "Good-Husband Jobs" and "AMAZING Husband Jobs." I know, wishful thinking, given his crazy schedule. Well, much to my surprise, Joel managed to do EVERYTHING on my list, and more. Ladies, never go out of town without leaving instructions for the hubby. Joel spent the first few days lounging, reading, watching t.v. Then, when he started to miss us, he went to work. I LOVE HIM! Here's the list:
"Amazing Jobs"
Seal granite, condition leather recliner, caulk toilet and shower in kids' bath, fill planters, seal back splash tile, fix leak in closet (roof), paint master bath, new light fixture in Master bath, clean behind washer and dryer, stairwell fixture changed.
"Good Husband Jobs"
Piano Business cards around the neighborhood, water my plants, get mail, return stuff to Best Buy, change sheets at least once, bills and paper work.
After all that, he cleaned. Man, did I score when I married Joel! What an awesome anniversary present to come home to. 7 YEARS!

I see your lobying efforts are increasing Joel. If this doesn't get you a new baby I don't know what else could :). I guess being an AC really gave you some lifelong skills :) Nice work on the paint in the bathroom.

Very Impressive!!! It is nice to have a handy husband! The house looks great! And Happy birthday to Kimball and Clara! We miss you all!!!
I'm going out of town this weekend (by myself) and I just printed out this blog entry for Alan's reading pleasure (and to motivate him to get to work while I'm away!)
