typical, for us.

David and I have an interesting relationship.  Different than any of my friends and their loved ones.  And its amazing and hysterical.  

First, when we are out on date night, you can be assured that there is going to be a drawing on a napkin, scratch piece of paper, receipt, etc.  Or plans for a trip to Home Depot the next day or discussions on how we're going to prepare, build, and finish the next project.  

Examples are below.

Sketch of some ideas for our back deck at dinner on a Friday night.  Mussels weren't that great, but we came up with some awesome plans for the grill and the smoker.

David's on-going small scale project.  A new kitchen/dining table.  Wood farm-style top and steel base.  He welded the base himself because he's awesome like that.  Still needs some staining and finish but I am so excited!

And David's Christmas present from me.  Everyone I tell is so confused.  Its a sheet of steel.  A 3/8" x 4' x 8' sheet of steel.  It weighs something like 500 lbs, but David is in love.  Basically this inanimate object allows him to weld in his own shop now instead of elsewhere.  It helps ground the metal, and all that electrical current stuff.  I won best wife of the year on Christmas.
