Married Nesters
For anyone that knows me well, this is true: I am a nester. I love to make the space I live in very comfortable, neat, and relaxing to be in. I love to work on house projects and to live in a place that I have improved.
Luckily, I married a nester, too. Although Jff nests in a little bit different way-he focuses on computer maintenance and upgrades, as well as making our living space more "efficient" and in good repair- it is still there.
What happens when two nesters get married? We turn into house-nerds.
We do a lot of house projects. We improve things happily. We enjoy working on things together. It is fun to go shopping for what we need, then planning and preparing, and finally completing something together.
This weekend we had a great time nesting. On Saturday we cleaned out the garage, I made a bench out of left over deck wood (by myself), we cleaned the deck in preparation for staining it, and we brought a pile of stuff we hadn't used back to the lumber yard. We began shopping for the second bathroom we are building. And I also got some new planting pots.
Saturday night we made homemade margherita pizza with all of our fresh garden ingredients and had a good night in.
Sunday we stained our deck and the bench I built. Husband fixed a light in the basement. We got ready for our big basement project to start. And then about the time both of us were getting ready to not be at home, we left to attend our friend's 30th birthday party. Spending the evening watching a backyard concert, discovering a new favorite beverage (Sea Dog Blueberry Wheat Beer- yum!) and talking to good friends was a great cap to the weekend. Especially when it involved planning our next adventure: a bike progressive dinner with all of our buddies who live in houses in the area.
