Type A

In high school I hated changing classes at the semester. Was gym going to be in the morning and I have to sweat? Will I know anyone? Right when I was getting into a routine they switch it all around. I don't know if it was because I was shy, I hated change, or I just didn't like not knowing anyone in class. I know this is the story of "life" and I am getting better with age at handling change. I think it is because I'm more confident. Of course work interviews and photographing people I don't know all help. I'm a routine person. I don't even like time changes.

I have to say going through changes in life is a lot easier with my best friend and husband, Donovan. It is a little easier to tell the boss you are transferring, buying a new house, or having a child with someone by your side. I couldn't imagine doing all this by myself.

I figure babies are even more routine people, which is why I am on page three...

Yes tomorrow I'm leaving for Las Vegas to meet up with Donovan and friends from Phoenix. It should be so much fun. Donovan has been there since Monday and my in laws will be at our house watching Isaac. Looking at this cute photo of him. It already makes me miss him. He will be in great hands, but we have a routine that he follows. It only took him 2 days to change for day light savings. Yep he is already getting up at 6:30 again - that stinks.

So here are my three pages. I don't think I'm done either. I have lists on how to work the television, what he likes to eat, and daily schedule. I know Type A personality. I only trying to help and I would want a list like this if I was ever in charge. My dad thinks I'm crazy and I know Dave will too. My mom feels it is helpful and who knows what Sue will think. If she doesn't look at them it is fine, but at least they are there for "reference".

I've had people ask what is with the doors? They put plastic on the french doors for painting or staining. Very helpful.

Finally all the painting is done except some touch ups. Once the plastic was removed all the bad painting doesn't show up. Now I just look through the door instead of at the door. Look at the mess in the office. That is were all the crap is out since we are now working on the mudroom.

3 gallons of tan, 1 gallon of blue, 1 gallon of white ceiling paint, and 1 gallon of white trim/door paint - we are almost finished painting!

The architect in Donovan came out. We needed to tile in a pattern. Man oh man. Why? But I do have to say it is coming along and looks great! Now we have to make all our cuts - the time consuming part.
