First of all I must say I love my husband.  He works so hard for our family and gives so much to us that sometimes he doesn't have much time to do things for himself.  For instance, cleaning his office.  I've come to realize that it's just not going to happen.  The piles get higher and higher and I see less of him every time I walk by.  I've had a plan of redoing it for quite sometime, but needed to find the time and the right desk.  Finally I found the desk on craigslist, and Drew was going out of town for about 10 days.  Perfect.  Obviously, I cannot even begin to get the old desk out (which I sold on craigslist), or the new desk in without help.  Let me take a moment to give a serious thanks to my dad and Mike.  I couldn't have done it without them being so gracious with their time and energy to help me. They went to go get the new desk and put it at Mike's house until Drew left town, and then moved it AGAIN to our house, up the stairs, and into the office.  Not to mention it wouldn't fit through the door so they had to take it apart and rebuild it once it was through.  Yuck.  They did it all without complaining.  After that I began to organize his files, and make sure everything had a place.  Then the decorating began and that was my favorite part.  Trying to keep it a "man" room still, but giving it a little flavor was my goal.  It took the entire time he was gone due to the fact I could only work on it during naptime and bedtime, but it came out great!  We got home from San Diego on Monday (pics from the trip will be up soon) and he was so excited to see his new office.  Let's just hope it stays this way!!!
