The Welders Celebrate Three Years

Wednesday, the Welders took the day off from their real jobs to celebrate their third anniversary. After a tasty, warm breakfast on a chilly morning, they headed to the reclaimed lumber yard they visited a while back. Since the hairline cracks in the slab drive the Welder crazy, he has decided to cover it with wood flooring...the Welding Wife thought the cracks added character...After it was all loaded up and paid for, the Welder was dirty so took a shower...
Actually, we went to look at marable. We are still in the planning phase of the master shower and vanity tops...we got a few samples but still have not decided. After a yummy lunch in a quaint cafe we stumbled upon during our trek (we had to park on the edge of town since we had the trailer), we visited Home Depot to do a little more research. Next, we took our barrel of glass to be recycled (first time and a good experience...very friendly workers) and then made a quick trip to the Restore. We stopped by our house (the one we live in) and grabbed the picnic basket before going to the Weld House to do a little work.
Yep, The Welders unloaded all 4,000+ pounds (each bundle weighed about 200 pounds) of the wood flooring. Since it will not be used for a while, we wanted to put it somewhere nice and neat. It took a while to figure out how to make this possible with the Welding Wife's scrawny arms...

But we did it!

(And the Welding Wife only got a few sore muscles, one cut (from the dang tape measure when trying to see if we could get it closer with the tractor), and several bruises.)

After working up an appetite, we relaxed and enjoyed our anniversary picnic

I have to say this was probably the simplest anniversary celebration we've had (not that there are that many to compare it to) but my favorite! Hanging out and enjoying the day with my best friend...

even though he is a big mess :)

Love you, honey.
