Swollowed the Spider to Catch the Fly: I Have a Hard-Working, Talented Husband

I know I've been married to Cody for 12 years but I am still amazed at what a hard-working and talented person he is. It was fun to work along side him on this big project this summer. This has always been a dream for us.

Here he is sanding the walls in Jess's closet.

On his stilts taping the walls in our bedroom
Here's a picture he took when he was at the house alone in the middle of the night after sanding the walls upstairs. It was so muggy he was sweating and making mud on his arms as he sanded it off the walls. Awesome, huh?
I love this picture!!!! He took a picture in the bathroom mirror to show me what he looked like after sanding that night. He's actually on the phone with me. It was about 11 pm and the rest of us were asleep at the Springers and all the fire alarms in the house started going off and it scared us to death. We couldn't figure out why they were going off, though. There was no smoke or fire and we couldn't get them turned off so we called him to give us some ideas. It was kind of funny after it was over, but during the hour that the alarms were sounding we were a bit frazzled. It didn't bother Isaac, though, he slept right through the alarms and the lights. Amazing and scary at the same time. We now have a safety plan at our house that includes the girls going in to get Isaac if there's an emergency at night!
Here's proof of how hard he worked this summer. If you can sleep on a hardwood floor like this you've got to be tired!
