Our New Addition

So what had Dave so giddy this past weekend that he actually got out of bed on a Saturday at 8am?!

Say hello to "Mr. Ugly**" (soon to be re-named to something a lot cuter)! Isn't he beautiful?? We got up extra early this past weekend to drive to, ugh um Wichita Falls, to find Dave's dream boat. Oh how happy Dave was when we drove away with the boat attached to our vehicle.


Dave has been looking for the perfect boat for quite sometime now, mainly thinking it was just a distant hope. Well, after some loonngg discussions Dave finally found something that 1) fits the budget 2) is exactly what he wanted. Nothing to extravagant or extreme, just a little two seater he and I can go out on the lake and fish on.

It felt so good to have been able to be a part of something that made/makes Dave so happy . I think wives forget sometimes what brings joy to their husband isn't always what fulfills us (and vise versa) but it made me happy to see Dave experience boat ownership. Let's just hope I get to use it as well some days. I have a feeling there will be many "guy" fishing trips in the near future!

**The boat was named Mr. Ugly by the original owner, it was his fourth boat. His first boat was a little canoe that evidently was not such beauty so one of his co-workers named it Mr. Ugly. Hence the name Mr. Ugly IV. Love to hear stories about how things get their names!
