But it is true.So I have these keys. They are VERY IMPROTANT in my life. They open the cabinet where I keep the rent. The file cabinet where I keep the petty cash. The Safe that the petty cash is in. They open just about everyting in the office that needs to be locked, but also opened on a daily basis. They are inportant. got it?
Well, Derek has been studying his brain out. Preparing for National boards... have to link you here: http://rayfamilycharm.blogspot.com/2009/03/dear-national-board-exams.html Couldn't say it better myself. Well, needless to say he didn't need more stress.
But I lost my keys. And I really needed his help so we scoured the house all the while the commentary went something like this:
Derek: "Did you do laundry today?"
Char: "Yes, they could have gotten put through the wash (I check) no. not there."
Derek: "Did you drive anywhere in the car?"
Char: "Yes, I ran to the school, prechool, store, bank. (he checks) no. not there."
Derek: "Did you put food away"
Char "yes, I'll check the fridge." nope. no there
Derek:"Did Easton paly with them?"
Char: goes into Eastons room and wakes him up. He's groggy, but no, he didn't play with them.
Derek: "Did you play in Eastons room?"
Char: "yes, (getting tired of questions at this point) I did everything today. Every stinking thing. I worked in the office. Did laundry. Cleaned. Went to the library, ran errands. Cooked. I was very productive. Oh, crap. I took out a TON of garbage."
Derek: "Was that before or after the trucks came?"
char: "After. It's at the very bottom of the dumpster."
well, we then proceeded in the dark of night to the dumptser, where Derek climbs inside and starts sifting through the garbage. We went through many bags. It stunk. The keys weren't there.
And you know what? Derek never got mad or frustrated. Not once. In fact on the way back to the apartment he put his stinky arm around me and laughed. I just love his laugh. it was then that I realized that this is true love. He's the perfect one for me and I am so lucky to have a man who is so patient and loving. Even when he's stressed and tired and this is the last thing he needed. I said a little parayer of thanks, and also one to help us find the keys and just as I walked in the house I remembered that I put them in my apron pocket.
He just laughed.

I really hate loosing stuff....can I just say that much....I am not nearly as amazing as your husband. I get reaaaal mad. Corbyn saw the picture of Easton and said, oh...I miss that Easton, he was so nice {big sigh}, oh I just miss him in oregon. WOW....the two times they played really had an impact:).How is rotations prep coming? Happy day!
Yes, you really lucked out with scoring Derek. I can't believe the patience he has. Another fabulous story about dumpster diving, hasn't he done that for you before? Not many men would do that you know. Make sure he knows he needs to make some mistakes or he could get translated, that would sure stink for you!!!
He is a good man. Gotta love Derek. I miss you guys..it's been a really long time since I've seen you. He is very patient. You did well. My husband is sweet and kind, but not exactly patient when I do those types of things.
I have to say Char that, that story is the sweetest story! I don't know Derek at all, but what a saint! That was so sweet! Thanks for sharing!
Okay, I'm tearing up, so sweet! What a good husband, and so funny that they were in your super cool retro apron.
If that would have been Shelly and me, I too would have gone into the dumpster. Shelly's blog, however, would have been titled: I thought my husband was going to kill me tonight.
That is another great story. Good man & a good woman, you deserve each other. Too bad he's not a twin, I could make good use of a good man in my life! :)
Truly amazing! I lose stuff all the time, and my keys probably the most. I haven't had to do any dumpster diving yet, which is good because I definitely don't have anyone that would go into a dumpster for me! You're one lucky girl for sure.
