My house hubby

As of two weeks ago my husband went part-time at the newspaper to focus more on his growing wedding photography business. He's also shooting part-time for our sister newspaper just minutes from our home.

Anyhow, I didn't realize how much I had to personally gain by having a house husband. When he was working mostly nights, Erika and I would just find something quick to eat and eat in the living room while we watched TV. We've now moved our dinners to our dining room and Nels actually several days so far has fixed us genuine cooked-in-a-pot or grilled dinners. It's been awesome.

He's still really busy right now - it's the height of the wedding season - but this winter I'm fully expecting dinners every night, or close to it. He swears this winter he's going to clean out our kitchen, including getting rid of utensils and things we don't use that I've had since I inherited them from my parents while in college, and help us become more efficient. He even swears he's going to make sure I have a lunch from home each day so I'm not tempted to order out with the girls or walk over to Wendy's, which is across the street.

His new cookware he ordered just arrived in the mail today, he said when I called home during lunch.

I can only hope that he's put it to good use by the time I get home.
