Not only is it cold outside but it's cold in here too. Why do people insist on keeping an office cold in the Winter. Here at this office we have to wear coats all year long...because someone is not familiar with something...that something is 75 degrees! It stays like 70 degrees in the winter and 60-65 in the summer...no wonder we have no money, we have to pay a huge electric bill. And 60 degrees? I can tell you a couple of things that could cut glass in here...even in the summer time. Anyways, some scary redneck came in my office trying to return something, you do that by mail people! And here I am alone because Kris took the day off, Scott is out to lunch, Cathy's still on vacation and James...well God only knows. And the guy said he would come back to check up on his return...when I have to get his replacement shipped out of New York and I told him I would call him...so why is he coming back? I locked the doors. haha.  SO...CHARLESTON TODAY! who's excited?? I AM! I'm leaving after work to go to Charleston to see Trey. I can't wait! I really don't think we've ever seen each other 2 weekends in a row. I get to see his new condo and my favorite little kitty Cash. I need to wrap Trey's dad's birthday present up tonight. I got him a sprinkler and some traffic cones...so no one hits the sprinkler. And about this time (if you aren't familiar with the infamous sprinkler story), you might be scratching your heads. So here goes.
PART II:
It was a nice fall day in September, my parents were out of town...in Charleston that weekend actually so Stephanie went to chruch alone cause Steve called and was like, Trey came in town for a funeral, why dont you go to chruch and sit with him. (remember this is before Trey and I started dating) So I was like ok I'll go sit with the hottie and break the ice. Well I get there and he's no where to be found and I sit on my family's pew...alone...causing the church to stare at me...all service, or maybe I imagined that part. Anyways, after church Trey's peach of a mother asks me to lunch...and with Brian having eaten everything in the house since the parents were gone, I gladly accepted. It was then I learn that Trey had gone back just before church to go to Charleston and...wakeboard...*GASP*! I know, I know, he put wakeboarding before Almighty God. Sorry Trey, you know I had to put that in here, and I am kidding. So yea, he left to go wakeboarding...men have some priorities, huh? So anyways, it was an awesome lunch with his parnents, grandparents, and brother and his wife April Dixon, who if you know her is a total sweetheart. The bizare-ness of this is that I was already hanging with his family and we weren't even dating..yet. The Lord works in mysterious ways. So anyways, right when I was leaving I tried to back down the driveway. Now, two things went wrong here...
A. If you know me, this might have been a challenge from the get-go
B. If you know Trey's driveway it's a really hard driveway to back down! (so part of it was not my lousy driving)
Still, to this day I don't know the exact placement of the sprinkler, but it was in fact in my line of fire. And yes, I ran over it and squashed it dead. BUT I didn't know I did this until 3 weeks later (Trey and I are dating at this point) I went to his house for the first time...with him...and we had lunch with the whole entourage again. At this point, Ryan Trey's other brother take this time to reveal the embarassing story that I had no idea about. I'm sure I turned every shade of red and I wanted to die. Trey's sweetheart of a dad said, "It's ok I didn't like that sprinkler anyway, and it didn't work right." Which prompted Ryan to say "After Stephanie it really doesn't work" HA...HA...SO after that it has been an ongoing joke that Stephanie cannot drive because of the sprinkler. SO ANYWAYS that is the significance of the gift. Ok well for now I must get back to work because if someone doesn't input those numbers...it doesn't make much of a difference"
