six two

I’m posting this entry here under the Arts & Crafts section, although it really could have gone under any of the areas of Nothing Gets Crossed Out.

I wanted to share with you one of the gifts my sister Emily gave my husband Josh.  It’s partially homemade.

Hilarious!

That’s my husband on the cover.  As a strapping young lad of 17 years.  Emily had somehow acquired a photo of Josh pictured his junior year of high school after his track team won the conference meet.  She photoshopped the American flag and brilliant blue sky in the background.

Did you know that Josh was a track star?

Big time.

He ran sprints, but his major claim to fame was the high jump event.

His junior year, he actually got 2nd place at the state tournament by jumping a height of…

wait for it…

6’ 2”.

That wasn’t his highest jump, however; he also cleared 6’ 4” in his high school career.  Just a little tidbit in the history of Josh.

Another fact about Josh?  He hates inspirational sports movies.  It’s true. 

Rudy?  Nah.

Remember the Titans?  Nope.

The Blind Side?  Would never see it.

Insert any inspirational sports story ever told here and he wouldn’t like it.  Too cliché.  You knew he was kind of a snob, right?

That’s why this is so funny.  See the caption?

Emily was thorough… just take a look at the back:

And inside the case was a whole ‘nother gift.

A six-month subscription to Netflix!

We signed up Sunday night and have already received, watched and returned our first movie!  Pretty slick!

I’ll be featuring another gift from Emily here in Arts & Crafts tomorrow.  Stay tuned!  It’s a humdinger.
