Stay-At-Home Josh

I’ve told Josh to put a post up about this, because people have been asking how it’s been since he left his job. However, Josh has been slightly preoccupied lately.
So I’ll do it.
Josh left his job to do personal projects over the summer until he starts back at Tech in the fall.
It’s been WONDERFUL.

There are so many unforeseen benefits to having a husband who works at home. For starters, the apartment is clean all the time. It’s so convenient. He also folds laundry, does the dishes AND the other night I came home to dinner on the stove. He’d picked up a delicious ravioli recipe while watching Everyday Italian on his lunch break!
I think another thing that I love is that he’s working in an apartment that’s about five minutes away from my school. Which means I know I can call him to bring me anything I forgot. I haven’t had to yet, but the knowledge that I can makes me feel so free.
And finally, I can ask him to come in to school for special occasions. For example, this Friday I asked him to come in to watch our first performance of a Readers Theater. 2F was performing Lights, Camera, Pollination! and the promise of a Special Guest always motivates.As it turned out, Jorge was absent. So not only was Mr. Teague our Special Guest, but he also had to read the part of the bee.

I will say that I’m very proud of Josh- he’s gotten an amazing amount of work done. He’s much more disciplined about actually working than I would be in his position. Go, Bee!

Our first shower (well, not "ours"…)

It was our first shower to someone else - Jen and Jeremy, that is. It’s amazing how many people can fit in the loft when we move all the furniture into the office.

We had a great time and it was a lot of fun to celebrate love on April Fool’s Day. (Willie disappointed us a bit by not having any jokes planned. Such a wasted opportunity, Will.)

Congratulations, Jen & Jeremy!!

(By the way, the song selection is dedicated to all designer/teacher couples out there.)
