Home Improvement

I think I mentioned a few months ago that I had decided to get my MBA. Yeah, well, scratch that. There was a reason I swore off ever going to school again once I got my bachelor's; I honestly just don't have it in me anymore to do classwork, however pathetic that makes me. Which is why I am so, so proud of Mike for deciding to go back to school, because it's something he's talked about doing since we met. I'm behind him 100%, even if it means more housework for me!
Case in point: yesterday, Mike needed a few hours to catch up on his homework. We had just received an early birthday/anniversary combo gift from his folks--carpet tiles for our basement (Thank you soooooooo much, Mimi & Grandpa!). Did I sit idley by and wait for Mike to help me install them? Nope, not me. I put them all down myself. All 250+ tiles. (Actually, truth be told, Mike put down two, and his dad put down about 3.) And I couldn't be happier with the result! I still would like to paint some fun stuff on the walls--a Block "O" here, a Script Ohio there--but it's looking so much better. We have an actual usable room now; it's so much cozier down there that I added some of Aiden's toys. He LOVES it. Home improvement, indeed!

  3. Those carpet squares look so nice. Your home will seem twice as big when you start using the downstairs more. Loved the dancing Aiden video, too.
