Being Thrifty

Those of you that know me outside of bloggy world, know that prior to Chris starting school, we did everything together. We'd make breakfast and eat it together, eat lunch together at work, come home, take Kodi for a jog, make dinner together, and do some sort of house project together before heading to bed. I really miss those days, but I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel...one more semester!!! Chris is currently on his summer break before his final semester starts in a few weeks, so that's why he pops up in so many posts here recently.

Chris came home from work on Monday and told me to hurry up and hop in the truck. He found some roadside treasures that he wanted to get before it started raining. Yep, we dumpster dive, and now we take other people's garbage. (One man's garbage is another man's treasure...or something like that, right?!)

We're on a sort of organizing kick right now...I did the mail holder this week, we've got plans for our closet, and we've been trying to figure out a good way to organize our garage.  Chris saw a large bookcase on the side of the road that he thought would work perfectly for our paint cans.  Smart Hubby!

We got home and got it in the garage, and by the time I came back out with my camera, he'd already had the whole thing filled up, so all you get is an after picture!

It fits perfectly into the little nook next to our water heater, and now I have one place specific to go to when I'm looking for paint on the fly.  What a great find!

Oh, and P.S. He's the smartest husband in the whole wide world. He got an A in his Wireless Communications class this summer...go Chris!!
