a BIG present

The little one is sucking up all my taskmaster juice, so once again, we are going into the past on this post. Mainly, April. With a splash of May.

Back in April, I turned 30, and relearned that Mike is quite the schemer when it comes to gift giving. Apparently this present had been in the works for years, crossed state borders, and come up against several almost got its! He usually builds up anticipation for the gift by dropping puzzling clues that I never seem to get right. This one he simply said would not be arriving on my birthday and that he might be in trouble.

Hmm …

So, on the night of my birthday, I ask to know what’s coming my way and why he might be in trouble. “Where’s your iPad?” he asks.

I pick it up, look at him, and wait.

“Check your email.” I pull it up, wait for the app to sync up, and there’s a new email from Mike titled: Card catalog.

The word might not mean much anymore. But librarians (and hipsters) it means SQUEE!

our current state of affairs

Mike took a Monday off a couple weeks ago. And sent me a picture much like this.

Then the next day I got a cold. A couple days later, he got a cold.

Also, there's a good, solid inch of concrete and industrial wire under this tile. Which meant Mike had to go buy another tool. He was pretty giddy about it.

Colds are now mostly gone. Hope to have an update soon!
