My husband writes on this blog once a year. Well, more like he writes on facebook and I copy and paste it into the blog. Anyhow, here is his list of the things he learned in 2012.
1. My wife is so smart.
2. When building a house, the most important thing above all else to is make sure you know what hobbies your building inspector likes to participate in. Several friendly conversations about rabbit hunting can go a long way towards a completed house!
3. I had no clue that the septic tank business was such a dirty business. Not dirty like sewage, but dirty like allegations of bribery, backstabbing, and corruption - all for the sake of putting a sewage bucket in the backyard!
4. I still don't know and can't follow all of the carpool rules.
5. Wiring a 4-sq-ft dollhouse is much quicker and more fun than wiring a real house. And apparently I can't estimate how long it takes me to wire houses.
6. Shanes Rib Shack received way too much of my business during March, April, and May. That's their reward for being the closest reasonable restaurant to our new house.
7. The best way to get a two-year-old to nap is to go ahead and embrace a full, late afternoon screamin' fit. Once she's mostly over with the fit, she'll be exhausted and go right to sleep, just like a baby.
8. If you lose the feeling in your hand, it might be because your neck is twisted. Who knew?!
9. The pink flamingo that someone placed in our porto-potty was a great gesture that made us feel welcome.... until we received the HOA covenant violation letters that made us feel unwelcome.
10. My brother and sister-in-law live in a real safari. We can prove this because the Kilimanjaro Safari at Animal Kingdom had poopin hippos that looked just like the ones they videod in Kenya.
11. When building a house, pay careful attention to mirror placement. Yes, it is possible to see into the shower in my bathroom all the way from the kitchen - all because of a mirror.
12. I highly recommend building a house in 8 months, not 5.
13. Amazingly, nothing was stolen while our house was under construction. That just proves that our neighbors don't like what we have.

14. In my first full year as a doctor, fortunately no surgeries were
required for our family. Probably won't be the case for the coming
weeks, so I need to keep learning via google.
