Sometimes, a husband can really surprise you, and through you for a loop.
Adam has been taunting me all week about what he was planning for Mother’s Day. Now, you have to understand that he’s never really done much, so I was a little afraid, and didn’t want to get to excited. So, anyway, the kids and I were cleaning the house earlier today, when the doorbell rang. I go to the door and answer it, and sitting on my doorstep is a massive amount of caffeine free Dr. Pepper. I was perplexed, and then Adam jumped out from around the corner. All of a sudden everything clicked into place. Allow me to explain.
I haven’t had Dr. Pepper since I joined the Church almost 11 years ago, since it has caffeine. I used to absolutely love it! Anyway, for whatever reason, lately I’ve been talking about it, and someone mentioned that you could get caffeine free Dr. Pepper in St. George. I thought that maybe one of these times, I would ask some good friends of mine to bring some down for me on one of their trips up there. Didn’t really think much more about it. So, Adam noticed that I really wanted some, and looked to see where he could find it. Apparently it’s not sold within 100 miles of Vegas. So he called all over St. George until he found a place that carried it. He drove up there just to get me soda. I know it may sound very silly, but that is really the sweetest thing he’s ever done for me! I was so surprised, and touched that he would do all that, just to get me something. Whoever would have thought soda could make me cry?
Once in a while, they just surprise you!

You could also buy it online if you ever wanted to and have it shipped. For example: http://www.olddocs.com/product.aspx?id=146&up1=0&up2=0&up3=0&cat=Drinks&subcat1=Dr%20Pepper&subcat2=
The gift wasn’t the Dr. Pepper, it was the effort.
I love you Denise.
Adam.
