Bread and Butter, Baby

cute guy...making floors shine...Shine, make 'em wonder what ya got....love that song...so fitting for his occupation!

pix 1-3 : Wiley Dining Hall at Purdue Univ. W. Lafayette, IN

NCAA Hall of Champions in downtown Indy...David is on the right hand side of the pic, talking on the phone. probably to me, telling me to spank his kids. a lot.

Pipe Creek Rest area...north of Muncie, IN...

As always, my shutterbug bro took these amazing photos. danka Tommy.

These are floors. uh duh, Laurie, I think they can tell what they are....

These are floors that my husband and his crew work their magic on...vitrification....woo woo. maybe I'll blog about that process one of these days..I seem to know a bit more about it now...

These are floors that bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. (though we don't eat actual bacon, being Old Testament Jews)...

I'm honored to have a husband that is so dedicated to his profession (all the way around, folks) and is good at what he does, on every level. His love for Jesus Christ is even more of a dedication..it permeates all that he does!

David is awesome. His intensity and drive make me tired. I guess it's true what "they" say...opposites attract. Today, David, I praise God for you...and thank Him that you not only pulled "it" all together for your big INDOT presentation, but that it was a success...Thank you to the folks behind the scenes, for your help and commitment...it will be your bread and butter too! lots of work for Indiana Dept. of Transportation!

I will get back on here, hopefully, with some more updates, but quite honestly, being up till 5:30 am yesterday to get 36 folders ready for said presentation has taken a bit of a toll on this ol' gal. I don't bounce back as quickly as I used to, which is still a lot quicker than some of ya! ha ha. I joke.

Until then, David, I love you...even thru all the stress and trials of the day, you are a source of strength and peace in a rocky world. You Rock, sir.

Just a taste of David's life...

bling bling...

not sure which job this is...but aren't they just so efficient?

Tom takes all these photos, so that is why he isn't showing up in them! Great shots, big bro...thanks for sharing them!

Jeff and David's bro, Aaron. These must've been taken on the Springfield, MO job!

ooooooh....pretty.

I'm Superman...and I'm here to save the world...

I just realized that I had never really showcased what my awesome husband does for a living!!



This is our bread and butter. and nowadays, our fuel, clothes for the kids, activity fees for the kids, clothes for the kids, braces for teeth, trips to the doctor for banged up heads, clothes for the kids, new shoes because we just outgrew the pair we got 3 months ago, school books, clothes for the kids..you get the picture.



When we look at it right up close, it's quite amazing how it all works out. That great Bible story comes to mind...the fish and loaves? not that we have excess money, because we surely don't, but the Lord has taken such good care of us and we thank Him for providing a job for David where I can be home with the kids and our needs are met. Just need to give praise and credit where it's due!





David is a vitrification specialist (that's my fancy politically correct term for his occupation). What is vitrification you ask? hmmm, a process (done with grinding floor/hand machines, different diamond grits, water, compounds...) that is done to marble, terrazzo, epoxy, etc floors (the kinds you see in schools, hotels, big places, fancy homes, countertops. etc)...that makes them look like glass. I know it's more than that...but that is the "laymen's" terminology...He loves the procedure, and nowadays, he enjoys selling it also...He is a perfectionist through and through...(hence Stickers' appropriate nickname for him, OCDave) and I would recommend David and his crew to any business, school, church, whatever, that is considering having Santarossa Mosaic & Tile do some vitrification work for them! They ROCK!




David works with a great crew of guys, which consists of our friend, Jeff, my brother, Tom, Jose, and Bucho, who also happen to be brothers, and occasionally some other random folks, like D's brother, Aaron, our friend, Randy, etc.

In reading back over this, after I uploaded all the pix and such, please forgive my incessant babbling. I am so exhausted this evening. Not sure why...one thing is for sure. I miss Mel. (Molly goes a mile a minute) She is so much more of a help to me, than I ever could have thought POSSIBLE!! Come Home, Mel! We can't wait to see her....(Wednesday, 4:30 pm is when she rolls back in!!) I have laundry to finish up, my sheets need to be put back on and all I wanna do is curl up into a ball and fall into a deep slumber.

So I'm outta here...Hope your Tuesday was magnificent and that your Wednesday is looking even better! God Bless YOU! Over & Out!
