I never remember St. Patrick’s Day.
Talk about it all you want leading up to the day but on the day (like today) I got up and put on all brown.
Can I get a shout out for the men and women of UPS?
The problem with my wardrobe is that our church campus is the home of Sierra Christian School, a K-8 school.
School children, as you remember, take days such as this quite seriously.
We walked into my office and immediately had that moment of realization that today was St. Patrick’s Day.
Reese looked down at his clothes and saw that he had in fact put on a green shirt (total coincidence) did a quick Tiger fist pump and said "I’m ready to go."
Madison and I looked at each in despair - neither of us had on green.
With the speed and ingenuity of McGyver I jumped quickly into action.
Grabbing a green carabiner and a green ribbon from my NOC ‘07 badge we made some quick alterations to her outfit (two snaps in a Z formation) and she was ready.
A quick trip home was in my future!
