Wood

Did you know that there are certain themes for anniversary gifts for each year you are married?  Each year we have gotten a good laugh at the traditional and modern gift suggestions.  Our fifth anniversary is coming up, so one night I joked with Devin that I was going to get him a hunk of wood.  Now if that isn't romantic, a nice 2x4, I don't know what is.

But it turns out Devin gave me the best hunk of wood a girl could ever ask for.  You see we have a nice cold storage room.

As you can see, there are no shelves.
We have been stacking food and things on the floor.  Devin decided that the time had come to build some shelves.  He called up his brother Gene, who I consider the Michael Phelps of wood work, and they got to work.

Anna loved "helping."  She didn't love the loud noises, but she just had to be there.

Now we have this.

Wow!  How cool is that!!!  Now that is my type of wood.

I now get to put all of this ...

back onto my beautiful new shelves.  Christmas might just have to wait, I've got a really fun organizing project just waiting for me.

If you are looking for an expert wood working guy, give my brother-in-law Gene a call.  HE IS AMAZING!!!!
