Heartbreaker.

February19

For this past Christmas, my step-grandmother’s boyfriend (yep, you read that right) gave me the ultimate gift, a generous gift card to none other than my beloved Cracker Barrel. I headed there with bride-to-be Katie last night after I got out of Bible Study with Cousin Cate.

Side note: Whilst listening to the DVD lesson from our spot on the back row at Bible Study last night (my hair looked bad, so we were in hiding), both Cousin Cate and I were doodling our first names with the last names of boys we may or may not have a crush on. Please don’t judge us; you know you did it when you were 12 years old our age, too.

Anyway, so there we were, writing our potential new married names (QUIT JUDGING, YOU HYPOCRITE) when Bethie says something like “If you find yourself getting tired in a season of waiting, maybe you’re not waiting on the Lord… maybe you’re waiting on an event, like a wedding.” I am here to tell you that Cousin Cate and I snapped to attention, looked at each other and said “Amen!” (her) and “That’ll preach!” (me) simultaneously.

Anyway, back to Cracker Barrel.

So, Katie gets us a table while I go to the restroom. When I find her at our table, who do you think I saw waiting to take our drink orders?

That’s right… TREY. Also known as Boy Who Once Infamously Told Me I Was A Delicate Flower And Won Me Over Forever.

Also known as Boy Who Was On American Idol Except They Edited Him Out But He Made It All The Way To The Judges.

And now, sadly, also known as Boy Who Broke My Heart.

See for yourself, loves. But may I first suggest you get some Kleenex on standby?

Also: after breaking the bad news to us, stick around for Trey to explain why you didn’t see him when you tuned into American Idol that night.

And, you know, beg y’all not to send him hate mail once you hear his news.

    Ooo, Amy Beth! Don’t you think you were just a little harsh with him? Cut the guy some slack! ;) Besides, you wouldn’t want his hair to compete with yours now would you???

    AB I was really expecting something tragic like, “I eloped over Valentine’s Day…” he may act like he’s just not that in to you…but we know the truth: he left law school to come back to YOU.

    and while you and he may be in a season of separation right now…it’s only a matter of time before the bloom of his love returns (even though I’m sure his current special friend is a wonderful girl) and he comes back to you, his delicate flower.

    and finally, let’s not kid around here…I love Cracker Barrell too…but NEVER have had a server spend that much time at my table…NEVER EVER…

    honey, he’s still carrying the flame :-)

    Sweet boy! Good for him! And “that’ll preach” might be new very favorite phrase! I’ll have to try it out and see if my Lutheran self can pull it off!

    Love the Beth Moore quote. I’m not even doing one of her studies right now, and God STILL manages to use her to kick me in the pants!

    Sorry to hear about Trey. But maybe that just means that God has someone even more amazing planned :) (hehehehe)

    Yeah, within the last two weeks, I may or may not have doodled two DIFFERENT boys last names. SB Avery or SB Kellie both work just fine, I think.

    And, I love how you said, “that’ll preach.” Best expression ever.

    Unfortunately, I am not as cool as you and Cate, and I am not doing Beth’s Bible Study…. I do, however, read your blog on a pretty regular basis. :) And that, my dear AB, is where I got that quote….. :) So, THANK YOU for sharing a lil of your wisdom from God through Beth with me! hehe.
