Busy weekend

Wow did we have a busy weekend. It all started last Thursday when Home Depot dropped off basement materials. The delivery truck arrived at our house around three with an entire trailer full of supplies. We had 3 pallets of insulation, 1 pallet of bathroom materials (shower rods, sinks, faucets, etc.), 1 pallet of drywall mud, bi-fold doors, molding, and 155 4x8 sheets of drywall.Everything went smoothly until it came to the drywall. The night before it snowed and our driveway was covered. Naturally, the contraption the man was driving could not get the drywall inside. He kept spinning on the snow and said that the weight of the drywall was just too heavy. I asked him if he would take the drywall back to HD because it was snowing and deliver the material another day. After all, I can’t help that it snowed the night before and that his contraption cannot do its job. Well, that was not an option. He would not and could not take the drywall back!! He had “other deliveries” and was going to leave $1,500 worth of materials outside in the snow. Needless to say, I was not too happy but there was nothing I could do about it. So he left the drywall IN THE SNOW and went on his Mary way. That night Chris and I covered the drywall up with a tarp and crossed our fingers for cold weather. Thankfully, the weather held up and Chris had some guys from work come over and help him move all the drywall inside on Saturday. (We were super lucky too because Sunday it warmed back up to 45 degrees and all the snow melted.) Saturday, not only did Chris get the drywall inside he put in the fireplace, rearranged the spare bedroom, and put the crib up!!!

Have I mentioned lately that my husband is amazing!? Everyone always worries about the pregnant one (how I am feeling, coping and adjusting to the idea of delivering and having a baby) but the men have a lot going on too. Chris is so strong and doing so much for me. I am sure (he hasn’t told me this) that he is dealing with similar anxieties and emotions but he just keeps it all together. He balances work, home construction, me, the dogs and the idea of becoming a father like a star- never complaining and faithfully dependable. I am so lucky!!

Sunday Chris worked on the basement (fixing the final things the inspector suggested) and I had my baby shower. The shower was wonderful. We shared stories, laughed and ate some yummy chocolate cake!! I can’t believe how many people sent things for us from out of town!! Seriously, it was great!! We really miss you guys!!! Thanks so much!! It was like I had you all there.
