The birds are gone. I repeat, the birds are gone.

May9

After spending yesterday working out of my living room, Starbucks and my car, I now have a ministry office back. AND, I have a boy to thank for it!

Of course, the boy is kinda like my brother. The odds of us dating are close to the odds of me giving up my love of wellies. However, in the video below, I give him one last chance to claim me as his girlfriend.

He, um, didn’t even respond.

Things I find hilarious about this video:

1. Cassidy, one of our volunteers, finds a flip flop in our toilet.

2. Jeff requests rubber gloves to handle the birds.

3. I repeatedly scream like a little girl when Jeff scares me.

Oh! And here’s a little “behind the scenes” info for ya’ll — as we were leaving, Jeff jokingly said he needed to hurry so he wouldn’t be late for his date. I was all like “Date?!? What date?!? Have I met and approved this girl yet?” And then he’s all “I’m just kidding. You know you’re the only girl for me.”

Flash forward 45 minutes: Cassidy and I are in Chili’s, enjoying some victory dinner when IN WALKS JEFF WITH SOME GIRL! He really DID have a date! I resisted the urge to whip out the camera and take their picture. Jeff, for what it’s worth, just pretended like he didn’t know us.

I can’t imagine why.

    Hilarity!! But SO glad Hot Jeff came to the rescue. (Wonder if he’d be grossed out that a 46-year-old woman thinks he, is, um H-O-T? But that’s beside the point.) You’ve outdone yourself, AB. You’ve provided us interlings with the evidence of the answer to our prayers about the birds AND some quality Saturday morning entertainment. You rock!

    Chillis’s is my FAVORITE…the bonesless buffalo wings, and the Chicken-ranch sandwich, oooh and that molton lava cake….great, now I’m starving and we have NO CHILIS! Poor me.

    So, I remember meeting Jeff at one of the lock-ins but I never remember him being that unbelievably hot… You’re married, Ashley, you’re married and your guy is just as hot…

    Amy Beth, you’re absolutely hilarious. It’s like a view into a 20-something female’s mind. Great reads as always.
