I had to share this story. My DH and I usually leave for work at the same time and this morning was no different. I drove up to the top of the hill in our development and stopped at the stop sign. I notice something on my left and look down to realize it's a full roll of Christmas wrapping paper still in it's clear plastic packaging. I rolled my window down and pointed to it so my DH would not run over it. I preceeded through the stop sign and I noticed DH was not behind me. I called him, thinking he went the other way to get gas, and asked him where he was and he said "I stopped to pick up the wrapping paper. It had frostys on it and they would have never survived the day in this heat. It was meant to be yours since it has snowmen on it and you are celebrating CIJ." What a guy!

I have no idea where that roll of wrapping paper came from or how I happened upon it in the month of July but I'm all about the unexpected whimsy that comes with finds like that. I think I'll wrap my stocking stuffers in it this year because it will make me smile to know how I came about getting the paper.

I'm trying to figure out why you didn't leap out of your car to grab it. lol This is one of the stories to tell future generations.
