Merry Christmas, Bill

Well....Bill just bought himself his Christmas/Birthday/Valentine's Day/Easter/Arbor Day present for the next 3 years. And, just so you know, plan on Bill dying when he is 74, as he has apparently reached his midlife crisis. If you want to know what it is, just take a look in our garage. It's big, a tad ridiculous if you want my opinion (he doesn't =-) ), and smurf blue. I haven't liked this color ever since my BYU cheerleader days. I cheered there back in the day when our uniforms were the color of a bright blueberry. So glad they went navy....
Anyways, I'm really happy for him. The cool thing about our relationship is that we can allow each other these type of things every so often...no questions asked. I think this is impractical, but I'm sure he thinks I'm frivilous on some things.

He's really, really happy. He's dreamed of this for 3 years. And, he's feeling the need to suck up a little, which is nice. Yesterday, he washed my dirty pans/pots and took out trash without being asked. How long can I make this last?

OK, guess I need to do some stalking in the area so I can see what Bill hasw bought! Or you could post a picture!

So he finally brought home the bright blue FJ cruiser?? Every time we see one Sam says "I bet that's Bill" even before Bill had bought his (because in your Christmas card a year or two back you said Bill really wanted one!) Sam always assumed Bill had pulled the trigger. This is funny because Sam just had a mid-life crisis of his own and brought home a black 4 door jeep wrangler--he drove one in high school. Like we said in our Christmas card (which you'll be getting) I'm just waiting to be replaced by a trophy wife.

You have to post a picture!

I'll take a few pix for you to post Hon. I was tempted to get the 4door wrangler but I'd invested so much emotionally in the FJ...I knew where my heart was. Liz, I don't think the FJ is the same color as papa smurf. How about you dress up in your cheer skirt and we take a picture of you next to it...that would be the best!!!!

I didn't even say anything to David about a mid life crisis, but when I showed him the car in the church parking lot last night he said. "That is so cool. When I get old like Bill I am totally getting one of those."

I feel for you Liz. I suppose Eric will die when he is 68 because he bought a little something for himself also that sits in our garage and it is Utah Red!
