BITTER:
I accidentally dropped my cell phone in the bath about four months ago, and have never replaced it.  Talk about living the dream life.  I love not having a cell phone, and not being available every second of the day.  The funny thing is that when cell phones came out, Tristen and I were the first to get them out of about everyone we knew.  We couldn’t believe how convenient it made life, and what a treat it was to own one.  Even when we were in the CougarEat and sitting only two tables away, we would call eachother to see where the other was.  Funny when we both stood up and were within ten feet of each other.  Anyway, those days have changed, and I love the quiet.  The only downside is when Micah needs me.  Not having a cell phone has proved to be a bit of a pain for him, and he informed me that now is the time to get one.  We renewed our contract, and I can get a pretty good phone for free.  He called me to get the process going, and I told him I wasn’t in any rush and that we should wait for a few weeks.  He told me there is a reason I need it, and the order was made.  But be certain that I am not rushing to the door to see if it has arrived!
SWEET:
Micah told me about a month ago that I need to cross August 22nd off on the calendar because he was sending me and Tristen somewhere for my birthday.  We have been dying to know what it is and where.  Could it be the spa?  Fun, but probably wouldn’t be my first pick.  Was he sending us off on a long bike ride?  Tristen thought so, but I can’t imagine that my birthday present from my husband involves excercise.  We had a ton of guesses, but none of them fit the only clues we had.  The clues were….I needed a cell phone, I would be occupied from aroung 10 - 4 o’clock, and we needed to prepare for whatever it was.  We were completely lost….until this morning!  Micah sent me the link to our mystery day!

We are going to be competing in a two person team in America’s Adventure Race called Urban Dare!  Does my husband know me or what!  It is like a mini Amazing Race around one city, and the winners move on to a final race in February.  I am SO excited.  Nothing he gave me would have been better.  Tristen and I can not wait!  Talk about a husband who really knows his wife.  Shmickity Dickity — you are the BEST! Happy Stinking Birthday to me!  I hope I do you proud.  Tristen — It is my birthday, and I am in charge!  And no…..we are NOT wearing tutu’s like you suggested.
I guess I will carry a cell phone for this little day of delight.
