Labor of love.

I may have never mentioned it, but
J made me a pretty amazing Valentine's day present this year. 

He built me a dining room table.
and its finished and moved it into the house now.


That picture doesn't do it justice. Its huge and roomy. We're slowly {one by one!} buying nice Parsons chairs for it and one day there'll be a handmade bench.


I'm so excited for the memories we'll make here. Meals and small groups and work and late night talks. 
This table will be a part of our family forever.
Our kids will know it as a staple of our time together in our home, our friends will think of it as a place to gather.
Our pups already know it as the best spot to beg.



It means so much that J worked so hard to surprise me and build this table that will be a part of our family forever. 
Its definitely a labor of love.

  3. I showed this post to Mark, all hinty-hinty in my voice, like "isn't this SO cool? wouldn't YOU love to have something so special?" and all I got was, "Yeah, I saw that she posted that this morning. That's cool."

    Sigh. We won't be making our own table any time soon.

    Go Justin! I'm impressed! And jealous.
