Gary has moved into a new room

at school.  It has been an amazing undertaking because he has not only had to move everything from his office and classroom, but also set up what used to be the drafting room into a computer room.  He has literally spent weeks working on it, but it is going to be really nice for him to have the bigger space.

One morning, when the family was here, Gary took all the kids and Misty and Tiffany over with him and they helped him do some moving.





Then when Jackson came, Gary had him earn some of his birthday present by helping him with some of the heavy stuff for a few hours.     Duke spent several hours over there helping him set up computers, which was really nice.

Until now, I've been the only person who hasn't helped.  However, for our anniversary I got him some picture frames and a promised to spend 8 hours at the school helping him set it up and make it more ascetically beautiful.    I didn't get in 8 hours today (and Gary is keeping strict tabs on it at 3 3/4 hours), because I had my quilting class and met with Loralee for 3 hours in the afternoon.   But Gary said it was the best anniversary present ever and that I need to give him that every year.

Here is the room so far.  (Just so you know, the desks will be arranged so the cords aren't showing, which is very important aesthetically)   These pictures are really for Misty, as she was totally in her element over there organizing and setting up.  She wants to see the progress.

Good job!!! Looks really nice. I think the environment is really important for learning.

Love it! It's looking very clean and finished. I'd love to see the white board area also. It's funny that I feel so invested in this classroom.
