Lunch with Brad, Life Savers

Brad's school had a special lunch for those students that received scholarships this year. It was nice to be able to attend it with him. The morning was busy with a few different things and somehow I forgot to take with me the one thing that Brad had asked me to: his suit jacket and tie. I honestly don't know how I forgot and I felt so dumb! As I was walking up to him on the street he noticed my empty arms and asked "Where is my jacket?" Ugh. I felt like the worst wife. I wish I could have been the kind of wife that never forgets things and is always prepared but I failed today and totally disappointed myself. He was sweet about it even though I know he couldn't believe I would forget something so important!
LUCKILY, I have some awesome friends (2 of which were already watching my kids)! I called my friend Becca and asked if she'd be willing to grab Brad's suit jacket and tie and drive it down to us. I can't believe I asked so much of her now that I think about it, but I was desperate! And she is the best! We got his jacket and tie before we even started eating lunch and, most importantly, before the pictures were taken!
The lunch and program was really nice. It was neat to see his fellow students be awarded scholarships as well and hear about the neat foundations that are set up in order to help out dental students. When they announced Brad and his scholarship, he walked up to accept it, stood for a picture and then walked back. As I watched I felt an overwhelming feeling that his mom was so proud of him for this accomplishment. He never got to tell her about the scholarship but I felt like she was there with us today. I know she loves Brad so much and is happy to see him succeeding in his endeavors.
