Lights! Camera! Auction!
Retro House Lights Up The NightIf I had the time I would make one gigantic list of all the heroic services people have provided for me and my family in the past few months. The list would probably extend from Retro House, down the street, through BYU campus and on into the depths of Utah Lake. I am in shock of how compassionate humanity can be, who knew? Seriously, who knew?
Just today we found two fully-signed Buffalo Bills footballs for Ollie and Gigs on our doorstep. This is so timely because we are sure Gigs is headed to Linebacker-dom and now is the time to motivate and manipulate his dreams. Or so they tell me. But seriously, it is not everyday that something like that happens . . . except, it is around here. We've been so blessed by the best hearts of this planet. I will be returning the favor for the rest of my life.
One of the most beneficial services rendered to us came by the way of a company called Lights Up Inc. a Christmas lighting company. They showed up at Retro House and made it sparkle. No charge. We might've been the first house in Provo to have Christmas lights up and operating, but we needed the glowing distraction. It's the Rockefeller tree-lighting celebration every night around here.
And Chup didn't even have to get on his orange ladder and curse loudly while hanging un-tamed tangled lights from our roof line. Not to insinuate that sorta thing happened last year, (and the two years before that) but it could've. This year Chup came home from work and saw that his house looked as festive as gingerbread. It is the light in my delight right now.
On an related note, during set-up they came equipped with a microwave so that they didn't have to heat up lunch in my kitchen:
See? You didn't believe me until you saw the photo. I know!And you can even let the children watch a live tutorial:
See? Notice the glue gun. That is how they keep their lines straight. Glue gun!This is the point in my post where I announce that Lights Up Inc has generously offered one auction package so that you too can have a merry holiday (and keep your husband virtuous) while knowing that 100% of the proceeds of this auction will go to my cute sister and her family.
