If You Build It, Stuff Will Come

Once upon a time I was engaged to a man with a whole bunch of STUFF!  Camping stuff, hunting stuff, football stuff, random stuff, just lots of stuff.  When I moved into my house I often thought, "Wow, look at all of these empty closets and cupboards.  I have so much space."  Along comes Travis and his stuff.  Suddenly I'm greatly concerned about my lack of space, "Whatever shall I do with all of this stuff?"

Recently Travis moved into a new house and needed places to put his stuff.  Well, at some point in the near future he will be moving into my house, so it only made sense for his stuff to begin moving here.  Maybe it will save some stress come January.  As the camping stuff and hunting stuff moved in my garage began to look much smaller.  Travis to the rescue!

Can he build it? Yes, he can!  We considered purchasing garage storage shelves and looked at several websites for such items.  The longer Travis looked the more convinced he became that he could build on with some wood and a drill.  Sure enough, look what he fashioned in the corner of my garage.  Now we have a place for camping stuff, hunting stuff, and football stuff.  All this was brought to you from the mind and building abilities of Travis the Tool Man (complete with the grunting).

Now... how will I ever make room for his clothes?

Return of The Concert Snobs

Yes, it's true.  Janelle and I are concert snobs and we are proud of it.  We made the trek to downtown Salt Lake on Thursday September 20th to see Train.  However, I true motivation for purchasing these particular tickets was Mat Kearney.  Yes friends, it is true, we went to a concert for an opener.  While we both enjoy Train, Mat Kearney would win in a battle.  The Gallivan Center is not a good venue (this is according to the self proclaimed concert snobs).  We even showed up a little early (which we never do) and could not see the stage at all.  Irritating!  So, we sat on a bench in the back and listened to Andry Grammer (not bad, definitely interested in hearing more of his music), then stood up for Mat Kearney because that's who we were there for, and finally returned to our seats for Train.  Train did well live and they were quite entertaining, but it's hard to keep focused when you can't see a thing.  So, we left 3/4 of the way through Train.  See, now you agree, we are concert snobs.

Janelle is one of my favorite people.  Really she is.  She's the best concert buddy.

It was the perfect night for a concert... even if we couldn't see.  This is on my tip-toes with the camera held high above my head.
