What about Bob?

My good friend Bob (of the Nash kind) moved departments on Monday. He works (lives) in the Kootenai Building now. For this story/email review to make sense, here's a little backround information.
He was supposed to leave Thursday. So I made him cupcakes.
He left right when I got to work. Unfortunately this meant the cupcake would have to sit on his desk for five days. FIVE WHOLE DAYS PEOPLE. Let's just say I warned him not to eat it. Monday Cameron and I delieved his card (with my Senior picture included) and his now stale cupcake.
This was in my inbox when I got to work today.

"Awesome picture. I see modeling in your future…thank you.

Unfortunately, the engineers that ate your treats never showed up for the party, or were really late.

This last sole survivor was pretty tasty though!  Didn’t last much longer than the click of the door closing behind you when you left just now!

Hope Cam wins the crown tonight.  If he does, he’ll need a Queen by his side.  Consider going. 

You can always do the Leia braids, etc…

That would be awesome."

Yes, he was talking about Princess Leia. (That's a long story.)

I can't help but email him back. He's practically the coolest man on Earth. I wrote:

"

Modeling….HAHAHA! if only you knew. I’m the girl who comes home from dances, work, school, etc. and changes into sweats and a T-shirt. Modeling=hardly likely.

But thanks J

I CANT BELIEVE YOU ATE THE CUPCAKE!!! I mean, I kept it in a cup to at least try and preserve it…but it had been 5 days!!!!! You are a brave man.

Hopefully you don’t get sick. If you do, its not my fault.

And Unfortunately, Cameron didn’t win King or Tolo princes.

So that means I don’t need to go J

Lucky Me!!!"

Our email thread makes my day.

But it could have been this email.

...or maybe it was the fact I won the Elite Fleet this month. :) No, not just another nomination (Cam and I counted. I have 12 now.) The actual award. Bumper sticker and all. Now my car will say "Proud Parents of an Elite Fleet Winner" Twice.

Life is Paradise. (Yes, Coldplay is on repeat...I'm celebrating okay?)
