So, for those of you who don't know my husband Don, he is just about the nicest person you will ever meet. He is way too nice to me most of the time. Well, when Don started dental school, we bought him three pairs of ceil-blue scrubs that were his classes designated class color- which he has to wear everyday all day at school. Now, about four years later, those three sets of scrubs are getting pretty tattered and worn- (ripped, torn, worn-out in certain areas, stained with chemicals and bodily juices...you get the idea). Anyway, about two months ago, Don came home from school and plopped himself down on the couch...I couldn't help but notice the 12-inch rip down the crotch of his scrub pants. I said in a panic..."Don, don't wear those anymore...let me fix them!" He set them on my sewing table and of course I forgot about them. The next week, the same thing happened with another pair or his scrub pants. He kindly let me know that he now had a couple of pants for me to fix and that we would have to do laundry a little more often. Well, a couple weeks later, the pants were still sitting on my table, but Don is too nice to say anything to me and didn't want to hurt my feelings, so as I left one night, he took matters into his own hands. Even though he had never used a sewing machine before, he's a pretty smart guy so he thought he could figure it out. Little did he know I had been working with some really interesting fabrics lately so I had an extremely small needle on my machine with bright pink thread hooked up. Long story short, I came home to a slightly frustrated husband who had sewn his pant leg to the crotch with pink thread that was sewn so tight it was in knots. I sat for about an hour that night laughing hysterically while trying to pick out all the pink thread- imagining what he must have looked like sewing this incredible mess. I'm happy to report after many weeks of putting it off, I've just finished fixing them! I'm sorry for taking so long Don...thanks for being so patient with me. I know you can do just about anything...and I will give you sewing lessons if you want, but for now I think you might want to stay away from my machine. Oh...and we could maybe even splurge and get you some new scrubs!
Corinne wanted to remind everyone of how many wonderful things there are in our world to be thankful for. We live in a wonderful time and place where we are given so many wonderful blessings: our family, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and everything we often take for granted everyday. We are so grateful for a loving God who hand is visible in our daily lives. We all have so much to be thankful for!
