I just have to brag on my husband for a minute...
Besides the fact he is cute, he also is a great handyman! He has fixed and replaced many an item in our house, leaving me amazed at it's potential (the house). I admit I was skeptical at first when we moved in, because I couldn't see past the white walls, but Josh has made me see the light! Literally in this case.
We visited our friendly Ikea and were marveled at its marvels last week when lo and behold we found a track light that is perfect for our kitchen! It was less than a smaller track light would cost elsewhere and included more light bulbs.
We excitedly took it home and Josh attempted to install it. We joyfully threw out the old fluorescent light that had been dying a slow painful death, and Josh set to work. After an ingenious method of screwing it into the ceiling (which was lacking studs in the area in question) he gave me the honor of flipping the switch.
Nothing happened.
We were quite disappointed, but Josh fiddled around with the wires and called his dad for help. I think it's nice asking for help doesn't bother him. We tried again but the light just would not work. Josh checked every wire (they were just fine) and concluded the light was to blame. We returned it a couple days later and got another of the same kind.
The same thing happened.
Then Josh had an idea. He always has ideas and they usually are good. He taped some wires together and voila! The light worked perfectly!
It's so fun to go in the kitchen at night and flip the switch to find I can actually SEE the counters to make dinner. Josh is officially my hero.
Thank you honey!

There's just something peaceful about a baby sitting in semi-motionless state. Almost as peaceful as watching a baby sleep.
