Funny things that Andy says.

John and I went away this past weekend to "A Weekend to Remember" in Augusta, Ga. If you haven't heard of it go the website www.familylife.org. It was simply amazing! You would think after 18 years that you would know a person inside and out, but we discovered many new things about each other. I recommend it to anyone who is married!! Go, you won't regret it!!
Anyway, Andy spent the weekend with my sister and her husband, Alan. When they got up Sunday morning Andy wanted a bologna and ham sandwich for breakfast. Alan asked him if he wanted mustard or mayo and Andy said, no just plain. They ate "a man's breakfast" and then off to church they went. Alan dropped him off at Sunday school and Andy tugged on his pants leg.
Andy: Alan
Alan: What is it Andy?
Andy: You know my Mom and Dad take me out to eat after church every Sunday, right?
Alan: Andy, we are going to feed you son.
Andy: I just wanted to make sure you knew, because I have to eat.

Alan told us this story when they brought him home Sunday afternoon. We laughed and laughed. We were all sitting out on the deck enjoying the smell of fall and Andy comes out and offers to make us all coffee. (He started this about a month ago on Sunday mornings) Jessica asked me if we let him do that and I said sure he makes a great cup of jo. A little while later he brings out the coffee and I guarantee you could have stood a spoon up it was so strong. I told him that mommy likes her coffee strong but not everyone else does. So I asked him to make a new pot with only 1/2 a scoop of coffee grounds.
A few minutes later he comes out with half a cup of coffee. I asked him if he made a new pot. He said nooo, I made a 1/2 a cup. We all kinda laughed and I asked him again to make a new pot of coffee with 1/2 scoop of coffee grounds.
He comes back out a little while later with a cup of coffee smiling from ear to ear. I look at the coffee and look at John, who has by then noticed that the coffee is still very strong, and I ask Andy, trying to control my laughter, "Honey did you make a new pot?" Ug Huh, I put in 1/2 scoop of coffee grounds and I put this much water (he held up his two fingers showing about two inches)because only my Daddy wanted more coffee. We all started laughing and Andy said "Mom, I think I am done making coffee, I just can't seem to get it right today."
It was so sweet and precious.
Days like this just make me wonder, how did I get so lucky!
Until Next Time -
