I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!




Last Thursday evening I had a craving for a dipped cone from Dairy Queen. Sweet Andrew offered to go get one for me. He pulls up to Dairy Queen around 8:00 and all of the outside lights are turned off. However, there are a few people inside. He proceeds to pull around to the drive thru and an employee comes on the speaker and tells him they're closed because there's been an accident. So Andrew calls me with the bad news and asks me what I'd like him to do. So, he goes down the street to McDonalds to get me a hot fudge sundae. He pulls up to their drive thru and places his order only to be told that their ice cream machine is broken! He then calls me again and I just ask him to go to our neighborhood grocery store and get some ice cream bars. Without hesitation he goes to the store and goes to the frozen food aisle, only to be stopped by Caution Tape and a sign that says "Frozen Aisle Closed"! He calls me back again and I ask him to go next door to the dollar store because they have a little ice cream freezer at the front. Andrew walks over to the dollar store and they lock the doors as he's walking up, 10 minutes before their closing time!! By now Andrew is laughing hysterically because he can't believe what is happening. Well, he gives it one last shot and goes to Sonic where my ice cream craving was finally fulfilled.

Needless to say, I have an absolutely AWESOME husband! Thanks Andrew for taking care of me and baby:)
