My cute wife

So - pretty cute right? Yeah, it was a few weeks ago - back when her wedding ring still fit comfortably - but it's a great picture isn't it? Yep - she's beautiful. I'm posting it because Melissa hasn't posted a new picture in 2+ months, and Vanessa keeps commenting that she's waiting for the picture. Here it is, cuz - you're welcome. I'm sure she'll post a newer one soon, but we've been busy...

We are procrastinators...well, maybe that's not the right word. Procrastinators makes it sound like we intentionally avoid unpleasant tasks or responsibilities because they are unpleasant. It's not that we avoid things - I'd like to think we perform best when we're highly motivated by impending critical time constraints (such as my wife not being able to help me paint - I paint like most rappers act). So, rather than do it half-way in plenty of time, we merely wait until we are properly motivated to get things done (re: the very last second) so we can do them with all of the zeal and enthusiasm of a girl running away from a cockroach. It's not a problem - it's a strategy...
We're in that highly motivated stage right now...just in the last few days we've accomplished the following...

• Moved all of the furniture out of the study which is to become the nursery - slap me in the face if I ever decide to put try and get a sleeper sofa into a bedroom or study again (thanks for your help Jared)
• Bought a bunch of primer, paint, & painting tools & painted quite a bit of the nursery (with help from Megan - thanks sis!)
• Bought a new desk for the computer & arranged it, with much debate, in the guest bedroom
• Had AT&T come out and install a new phone line in the guest bedroom so we can have internet
• OK - seemed like there was more than that when I started the list, but we're still in the midst of it. I'd expect our nursery to be 95% done by the end of the week, furniture & all (of course it will be another month before any of you see a picture of it on this blog - again, we're procrastinators)

Anyway, I need to go to bed - just wanted to post a picture, give a quick update, and a shout out to the best wife & soon-to-be mother in the world (I love you, lady). Also - congrats to Jared who snagged a job as a junior high school coach today! That makes all of our siblings & siblings-in-laws on the Hall side of the family (Jared, Erin & Sara) teachers - Melissa and I are officially outnumbered. Way to go J Hall!
