Well, as some of you know, I was on my way this Friday to go visit a very special lady I like to call Renee. Let me let Renee recount the story:

“Since I didn’t have much to do today, I hung around all day long and decided not to take my shower until after lunch. So, just as I was going to blowdry my hair, there was a knock at the door. I thought it was one of the neighborhood kids! However, it was a giant box! My dad looked at the top of it, and said, ‘Hey look! It’s from New Mexico!’ I thought, ‘Whaaaaaaaaat?!?!? What could it be (knowing how sneaky Mark is)?’ So, I put my hands on the top and gave it a little shake. It was veeeeeeeery light! So I put two and two together and said, ‘This better be a boy!’ I lifted the box up, and saw Mark’s shoes sticking out, and I screamed!!! So I lifted the top of the box off, and lo and behold, there was a very handsome boy underneath with a bouquet of roses! My heart went pitter-pat, and my hands shook and then it came to me… I LOOK HORRIBLE! I was standing there like a wet dog! Why, oh why, didn’t I get ready this morning and be purposeful in my day?!? Then I thought, ‘Ahhhh well! I don’t care, I’m just happy Marky’s here!’ And I gave him a big hug and my dad videotaped it all… and then we had pizza!”

Man, it was grand. I was getting pretty warm in that box, so I’m glad Renee came when she did! We just got back from an appointment and I am so excited to be here. Now I’m going to get back to being with Renee and being OFF the computer! Ciao!
