And so the weekend begins...Weird story ahead!

Okay, kids, you're about to hear a weird story of how our weekend just began! I have to give you some background information first...

My husband is a comic book guy. That is one of his passions (the others being hiking and of course me) and he has been collecting comics since he was a kid. For those of you who get this, he is a Marvel guy. In 2007 the movie "Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer" came out in the theaters. Naturally, we went to see it and it was fabulous! Well...back to the story. When the movie left town, the theater by our house was left with the lobby props. One of those being a life size Silver Surfer statue with a city behind him! Mark contacted the manager and turns out they auction that stuff off for charity! Mark bought it! So...he has been living at our house for three years. As you can see, he takes up a lot of room and has taken over Mark's office. It is super cool!

Well, times are hard and we are both state workers and kinda broke. Hubs has been selling some of his things on ebay to make extra money. One of the things he put on ebay was the Silver Surfer. It has been listed for a couple of months, but no bites.

Tonight Mark gets an email from someone saying they want the Silver Surfer and they need it tomorrow morning! They want to come up from LA and get it...NOW. Huh? What? That's weird. Come to find out the Director (!) of the Spike TV Guy's Choice Awards needs it on his set to begin filming the award show at 6am. Click here for a link to the show. It will air June 20th. So, he instantly paypal-ed the money and now it is being disassembled...Mark and his brother are going to drive it as far as Stockton to meet up with the staff so they don't have to drive the entire way!

 
Okay - weirdest story ever???? This is a great start to the weekend for us and proves that the LORD really does work in the most mysterious of ways. HE will provide and you never know how! Today is our 17 year anniversary as a couple! I would say this is an excellent anniversary present!

Have a great weekend everyone. Hopefully I will get in some stamping time tomorrow to post a card.
