IKEA

We are proud to announce that Orlando just opened an IKEA store today! I really wanted to attend the Grand Opening festivities as the website and media were promising giveaways like furniture and gift cards to the first so many hundred people. Unfortunately, I had to be at work at the same time the doors opened. Such a sad predicament. But let's see, Chris doesn't have to be at work until 2! Woo hoo! Come on down!

I can't say he was exactly "excited" per se when I drug him out of bed this morning at 7am so he could get to the Grand Opening and stand in line for (he loves me and he knows it!) which in his own words I "made" him go. Well, I called him later and asked him how it went and did he get anything. "Oh yeah, I got something so awesome. I'm sitting with it right now."
"Was it totally worth it going and waiting?"
"Oh, definitely. But you're going to have to wait till you get home and see what it is."
After several phone calls of badgering, begging, pleading, and groveling, I did have to come home to see what he won:And by the way, the hot dogs were only $0.50!

You crack me up! I for sure can't let you talk to my husband and share your crazy ideas with him... Although i think he would've refused to go in the first place. So kudos to you for going AND for writing a funny note. Good luck with those hotdogs.
