Best Husband in the World


So, since this event was so...momentous, I decided it NEEDED to be blogged about!! This past week, Jordan's alter-ego, "Duane," finished the infamous closet. (OK, so maybe I've complained a little about the pace in which the closet was being done...)

Some women have their "Bob," the carpenter, "Jake," the electrician, and of course, "Fabio," the pool guy... I have "Duane," the painter/closet finisher. (If you look really closely at the above jumpsuit photo, Jordan's exceptional "DI" find actually says "Duane" on it. It really helps me with the fantasy...)

Here he is like 3 months ago...having ripped out the annoying step in the middle of the closet that housed the HVAC system (he rerouted it, so it's much bigger!) He also knocked out the back wall to give us like 4 more feet of space!

And ta dah! Here is the finished closet...and yes, you are reading this right: we went "dumpster diving" (CONSTRUCTION-area dumpster diving...it's different, I promise!) in Jordan's parents' neighborhood to come up with this lovely carpet...yes, it's in small strips, but hello, it's a closet!

Anyway, thank you honey. Looks GREAT, and not only that, holds about DOUBLE what it used to!! I'm glad I have such a great handyman around!

Now, we just have to finish organizing the garage, and then set up the baby's room! And I think I'm having a baby in like 13 days...hmmm can we do it? Duane, come by ANY TIME.

Just remember, Connor was born 12 days early! So, by my calculations, you could have this baby, oh say, TOMORROW!
