The Laptop

My husband needed a laptop for school. I heard this many, many, many times. This was my year to choose how we spent the tax refund money. I decided to be sneaky and buy him a new laptop. I ordered one from Dell and the lead time was three weeks. In the meantime, he was dead-set on finding one. I finally decided to tell him about it but I wanted some element of surprise. So, I made a laptop out of cardboard and hid the receipt in it. He picked me up for a lunch date and we went to Logan's. As soon as we got there, he went to the restroom and I put it on the table (I have a REALLY big purse). At first glance, he thought the waitress had forgotten to clean off the table! I told him to open it and as he did, I told him I knew he really wanted a laptop but that was the best I could do right now. The rest went down like this:

Joseph: Awe, thanks babe!

Me: Why don't you read that paper stuck in there?

Me: Do you know what that is?

Joseph: It is the details of a laptop.

Me: Not just any laptop...YOUR laptop!!!

He was so excited that he truly did not know what to say. And that my friend, does not happen very often!

The actual computer came in on Tuesday...

I love him so much!!!

Easter Weekend

I just received some wonderfully exciting news...

I have to give God some praise and thank Pastor Chris for bringing an awesome message! Oh, I cannot forget the praise team...they rocked!

Sunday Night

OK, so I went with Martha to FBC Trussville last night to see/hear Travis Cottrell and part of his team in concert. It was fabulous (as if that needed to be stated)! After the concert, we chatted with a few people, all the while I kept my eye on the people lined up to meet Travis. I really wanted to say hi and get a pic with him to share with my Bible study girls tonight. I saw an opening and Martha & I flew up the aisle. I introduced myself (and completely forgot about Matha...whoops...sorry girl:O) Well, I went from 29 years old to 9 in 2.5 seconds flat...ok well who am I kidding, it was like 1.5 sec.! I totally went 5th grader standing on stage with T.C.! AND THEN, I made him pose with us while I took the photo...ahem...Travis will you be my bff? Check yes or no! I'm a dork. With all the excitment, I forgot to tell him that his coat was absolutely rockin'!
I get home and told my husband. His response, "I'm glad I wasn't with you. I definitely would have acted like I didn't know you and walked away." Thanks honey. Love you too.

Coming soon...

I cannot wait to blog about my Deeper Still Atlanta trip! However, I am still trying to process everything! As soon as I comb over my notes, I will post! In the meantime, IT WAS AMAZING! Kay, Beth and Priscilla taught with such an authority only the Lord Almighty can give! Many, many, many thanks to these wonderful women who allow God to work through them in such a mighty way! I love you each dearly:)
