waiting.

a couple of weeks ago i got up before the birds to go stand in a line.
to buy a book.

not just any book either.
decision points by {former} president george w. bush, or as i call him in my mind, g-dub.

it was to be a special gift for the hubs.
not only was i buying the book but i was going to get a ticket to come back and stand in another line that starting forming on a different day before the birds awoke to have this book signed by the one and only george w. bush. {how's that for a run-on sentence?}
would you believe that when the big day arrived and i awoke before the birds for the second time in over a year to go get in line i found this...

cancelled.
but, then rescheduled.
ugh, you mean i'm gonna have to get up a third time before the birds???
yes, that's what that means.
and i did it!
i jumped out of bed, grabbed a cup of coffee and left my house with a smile on my face cause i knew i was doing something for hubs that was possibly a once in a lifetime occurrence.
no one else could get him this gift.
i wanted to do something extra special for him since he's been doing something extra special for me for the last year...defending my freedom.

i met the president!

he signed my book.

that i proudly handed over to hubs as i walked through the door when i got home...right after i gave him a smooch.


there were no cameras or cell phones allowed.
i was super bummed!
but, bill larson was there to rescue me.
he took these beautiful photos of the super famous george w. bush.
thanks, bill!
