The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave

Wake Forest fireworks were pretty, not awesome, but nice to watch from our front yard. 

Best part though was a kid peeing in our front yard. Not a little 3 or 4 yr old kid, no, like a 13 or 14.. Matt yelled, "Hey kid, what are you peeing in my yard fir?" in the most country accent possible. 

Not to stereotype or anything because we love country folk. We like to be included in part of that bunch most of the time. However, just to encourage your imagination: think of a big burly bearded man with some dip in his bottom lip, wearing a trucker hat with the Confederate flag on it, a pit bull at his feet, a beer in one hand and a 22 in the other. Now imagine what he would sound like saying, "Hey kid, what are you peeing in my yard fir?!"

That is what my kind, patient, man who loves everyone, husband sounded like! Hilarious!!!

Before we realized what was going on we heard his friends shouting, "Eric, quit peeing in the yard!" "Eric, what are you doing?!" 

That's when we saw him, not 10 feet away, peeing in our yard. It was dark and shadowy so we didn't really see him but we could definitely see his "peeing posture" as I like to call it. 

As soon as Matt yelled at him he quickly zipped up his pants and ran down the street. Then we saw two of his buddies and Matt yelled at them with the same burly voice, "Hey, tell your friend not to be peeing my yard anymore!!!!" They said "Oh snap!!!!!" And sprinted down the street....

We have been laughing ever since. 

I am so thankful for my husband. He brings me so much joy! What a gift to laugh together. Praise God for gracing my life with Matthew Bishop! 

That kid doesn't know that he made our night by peeing in our yard, but if you live in Wake County and have a kid named Eric around middle school age please tell him thank you and welcome to "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave."
