Happy Birthday Chris!

Wishing Chris a very happy birthday!!

I cooked him a country fried steak dinner and made him a pineapple upside down cake. I hope I helped make his day special.

The Table

Chris decided that his grandmother needed a new table. The one they use when they are doing the annual 4th of July BBQ has seen better days. So, he spent a good portion of yesterday and most of the afternoon today building her a new table. She is going to love it.

He did a great job. He really has so much talent in so many different things. His mind designs tables, and mine designs decorations for cookies....

One little thing...

So, I'm heading out to get us a fast food breakfast. Chris asks me to stop by Walgreens and pick up a few things.

Purple Amethyst

How could something as simple as a package of Almay purple amethyst mascara mean so much to me? Well, it is because of the way I got it.

The other morning Chris and I were getting dressed for work. I was putting on my mascara, and he asked why was I having to work so hard to get it onto the brush. I told him it was because it was almost empty. In a little while, he picked up the tube and complained that he couldn't even read the small print anymore. He asked me what it said, so I read it off to him.

Fast forward. I get home from the HeartWalk and after a while, he arrives home. I went outside to meet him, and as we are walking in the house he said that "I got you something. It's just something stupid." He handed me a new package of mascara. It wasn't stupid to me, it almost made me cry it was so sweet. awwww...

Well, later on we were talking, and he gave me a few more of the details about what was involved with the purchase of the mascara. He and two of his co-workers were talking about priorities. The basic conversation went along the lines of making time for things for those who are important to you, doing the things you can. So, it became a mission, the purple amethyst mascara. The three of them went into 2 different stores until they found it. That's why a tube of purple amethyst mascara is so important to me. Thank you Chris and co-workers, you made me feel special.
