Changes
With the new addition on the way, our house is going through a bit of a shuffle. First, a little history on our house. It's not huge by any means, at least not by modern American standards. When we bought it, I wanted to make sure we had a four bedroom house so that each of the kids could have their own room and I could have an office. That was August 2004. Fast forward to three years later, and the baby needs a nursery. So, all my stuff is getting moved out of the office.
Where is it moving to? Glad you asked.

Welcome to my new closet. The majority of my stuff is now in the bedroom closet, including the desk I'm typing this out on right now. Collette hung up a bunch of my stuff in there. You can see my laptop, my one eared Mickey lamp, one of my guitars, and my diploma on the back wall.
The back wall has my weather station console and the thermometer/barometer that I got from my grandparent's house.
Right next to me is my book/amp/video shelf. I haven't plugged the amp in yet, but I think it's in a cool spot. The top of the drawers is where I chuck the stuff in my pockets when I get home.
Is it a little cramped? Kind of, but I think it's wonderful. It was Collette's idea to move me in here, and I didn't think it would work, but she made it happen. (Which you shouldn't have, due to your delicate condition!) It's nice sitting in here and not on the other side of the house if I'm writing or working on something late at night. I can see my wife sleeping in bed and know if she needs anything.
Ashlee gets my office. She's going to paint over my K-State purple walls with Tinkerbell green. She told me that she could only paint half the walls, but I told her it's all hers now, so she can paint it whatever color she likes. And by saying "she can paint it" I mean "I will paint it". Alex stays in his room and the nursery goes in next to our room.
There are still things to do, but we'll get it done before the baby gets here. Hopefully. Life isn't fun if it isn't changing.
