I Need Them

Upon arriving home from work my wife Carla asked "You didn't happen to get some BBQ potato chips did you?"

Me "No I didn't. Did I miss a text? What are they for?"
Carla "They are for my uterus. Uterus chips."

It's All About Me

My wife and I have an open debate going. I noticed she gave a 5 star rating a few times at check out. I wondered why. It's self service.

So I asked "Babe, who are you rating?"
She said "Me."
I asked to confirm "So you think this is asking about you?"
She replied "Yes. Me. I am rating me. Why else would they ask?"
I assured "Yes, you are definitely 5 stars!"

Gratitude


Our Sarah Bearah was on her way to a wedding last Saturday. She was 3 minutes away when she collided with a Jeep coming at her at 60+ mph. The impact vaulted her vehicle into the air, rotating over to its top and then back down to her driver's side. She was trapped but unbuckled, climbed to the back hatchback and kicked it open. In a black dress and heels. No major injuries to either party. She then proceeded to her wedding and danced. Most likely suffered a concussion from the accident. But man are we grateful she's not seriously hurt or dead. I was amazed at the damage to the vehicle and yet it was a tank that protected her. Grateful to God.
