Believe it or not, it's been fifteen years since we tied the knot. My gift to Scott was very unromantic, but much needed, I started cleaning the garage out (I would have liked to have finished but it's about a 3 day job, at least!) I found that more and more stinky shoes were collecting on our small shelf in the back hall, so I bought a large shelf and put it in the garage and now most of the shoes are there. I also de-cobwebbed about 1/4 of the walls and ceilings and completely swept/cleaned the area closest to the door. And I put away a bunch of stuff from the FINDS group. Now I just have to clean the tool shelves, gardening supplies, sports equipment, and the rest of the walls and floor. Thankfully it's cooled off quite a bit here so at least it's not as sweaty a job as it could be.
Scott's much more romantic gift to me was a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a gift card for Borders (I can't wait to go buy some books!) We're planning on going out to dinner as soon as we get a free night! With scouts and young women and piano and guitar and work for both of us, we're pretty packed.
One more thing, you may have heard of a lot of flooding in Chicagoland, but we escaped any problems, thanks to our new sump pump and back-up sump pump. (It only takes one good basement flood to make you buy a back-up!) This has been the wettest September in about 200 years, but this week things are supposed to dry out a bit.
