This is a picture Kerri took yesterday of my new man room (read: home office). This is the first time I've ever had a room "to myself" in our house. It was Kerri's idea. As I'm working from home full-time now (yeah baby!) she thought I could use some space to myself (this idea came to her in a flash when I had a bit of a meltdown after barely leaving our bedroom, where my desk used to be, for three days).
She really is too good to me.
This room, however, is more than just a personal space for me. It represents much more. This tiny little 10'x12' room is a giant leap for our cause to move to SF Bay. You see, it is the last room on the schedule of rooms to be improved before we sell the house. We only finished it last saturday, and twice this week Kerri had realtors around. I can hardly believe, after a YEAR now of working on the house, that we've finally done it. Finally crossed off all the work we wanted to do (bar a couple of little tasks). It has taken so much longer than we wanted, and probably so much longer than it needed to, but none of that seems to matter. We got here. We've had help from the kids, and help from friends, both of which I'll always be grateful for, and it has been some of the hardest work I've ever done (not to mention the gargantuan effort that Kerri has put in). There were times when it seemed so hopeless, that neither of us thought we could ever get this done. There have been setbacks, problems, countless little domestic tragedies along the way, but we got here, as a team. We're incredibly proud of ourselves.
Anyway, see her photostream for more pics of our hard work, and let us know if you want a private viewing ;).
SF Bay, here we come!
