the ipad.

a few weeks ago my roommate michelle received an email confirmation that her ipad was being sent to her. this came as a surprise however, seeing as she didn't buy an ipad. she quickly deduced that her mother had bought her the ipad for her birthday (which is today) and sent it to her and had the confirmation sent to her email address unknowingly. well, we decided that it was important that michelle have something exciting to open on her birthday so when her ipad was delivered we promptly hid it in a secret location and told her she would be able to get it on her birthday. and although we felt a little bad about keeping it from her, we decided it was best for her to receive it for her birthday. so we have kept it hidden for the past couple of weeks and when we prepared for our birthday sleepover celebration we wrapped it up and prepared to give it to her, only, we decided that was boring because she already knew that that was what she was receiving, so we hatched up a little plan. we decided to take shelby's old ipad case and put in it our own version of the ipad. we then had michelle open this gift first, and then gave her the real ipad promptly after. she was super excited when she unwrapped her gift and there in front of her was a gleaming ipad case. she opened it up and to her surprise all she found was this ...

she was a little disappointed. morgan, shelby and i were all dying from laughter and michelle seemed unimpressed. we were all confused because we knew for a fact that this was funny. we quickly gave her the real ipad which she unwrapped and was excited to have.

after a couple of minutes i noticed the 'ipad' we had fashioned her was in the garbage pile with all the used wrapping paper. i looked at her with my best serious face and said, "i can't believe you would throw away your ipad, that is a very special gift." all of a sudden she burst into laughter and started laugh-crying. we were all super confused. but she calmed down just long enough to pick up her 'ipad' and say, "i just got it." and then she continued to laugh uncontrollably.

i knew it was funny!

scripture of the day:
Psalms 27: 14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

today i am thankful for:
* amazing FHE's that make me grateful to be where I am.
* learning new things.
* hugs.
* moving forward even when it's hard to leave things behind.
* love.
