Meme and Papa in Charlotte! And my precious Timmy...





A few months ago Tim's computer died. We were bummed, but thought we would wait to get him one later since I still had my laptop working well. He started saving his money - we have a small amount budgeted each month as "fun money" and we can do whatever we want with it. Anyhew..he had been saving all his fun money for months. He almost had enough when Meme and Papa came to visit. They took us to Target and kept buying us stuff, which was so much fun. I really always feel so loved by them. Well, Tim wasn't picking out anything and he just kept saying he didn't need anything. I remembered his laptop and told Meme and Papa about how he had been saving for it. Papa said, "well, let's go to Best Buy!" Tim was so excited..and of course I was too. He never asks for anything. So, Tim had a lot saved, but Meme and Papa made up the difference. It was so sweet. Then a few days later when Tim had his new computer all set up like he wanted he asked if I wanted to see it. So as I was going over to look at it he turned it around. It had my screen saver picture of Tim and IO on it. I said, oh, that is my picture. He said, yes, are you ready to see your new computer? I was confused...what? He said it again and I realized that he was wanting to give me the new one. I said Tim...no, you saved so long and you deserve this new one. He then told me that he had been planning ever since he started saving to give me the new one and he would take my old one. Can you believe it? How precious is my husband Timothy Charles? I always tell him that he is the most giving person I know...and now he proves it again. Just so you know, I tried for many minutes...through my tears to tell him that I was not going to take his new computer, but he had his mind made up. So, I am writing from my brand new computer...courtesy of my tech guy and the cutest guy I know..Tim Crowder.
