Welcome to another edition of Blogging with David. It is not as fun as Blogging with Shantel, however, Shantel is very pregnant and as such, can ask for anything she wants... Including a blog post from me. So without further ado... I bring you Jelly Beans in my bed.
First, you need to know that Shantel has to get up before me. She has to be at school at 7:15. Usually I like to be at work early if I can, but that is usually around 8, because often that is the earliest we can be at the client's office.
The other morning I woke up to this.
When I got home from work that night the first thing I asked about was these jelly beans. Turns out, the night before we had climbed into bed, but I had to call my mom back first. So while I was talking to my mom Shantel was snacking on some jelly beans (she is pregnant, she can eat Jelly Beans at 10 PM). She got to the bottom of the bag, and there were just two jelly beans left. Shantel being the kind, sweet wife decided to save the last two jelly beans in the bag for me. So she held the little jelly beans in her hand....and I kept talking....and she held them in her hand....and I kept talking...and her eyes drooped...and she fell asleep and the jelly beans dropped right into our bed. I finished talking to my mom and then turned out the lights. So of course when I woke up in the morning, my wife was gone and there were just two jelly beans sitting there. I am so grateful for a sweet wonderful wife, who saves the last two jelly beans in the bag for me, even if that means they end up in the bed when she falls asleep.
The end.
Also as a side note...we will be having a baby any day now. Like any day. Look at this picture.
