Its A…Mac Book Pro?
I like days when I feel like I’ve earned a good day. Heck, I like it when a friend or loved one gets something they’ve worked hard for.
My wife, photographer and designer Amy Selleck, can now count herself a proud parent of a bouncing baby Mac Book Pro. The ‘Mac-Top’ showed up today at the North Rim office and I haven’t heard the end of it. Praises of its shiny new screen, back-lit keyboard, and magic mouse will echo in my ears for weeks (if not months) to come.
I can’t think of a person that deserves a big reward like Amy. She has all of the traits that you would admire: discipline, altruism, and generosity. So, when Amy started talking about getting a laptop and paying it off with her well-earned freelance money, I didn’t fight her one bit.
Admittedly, I had the “we should really use that money to pay off our debt” and “we do have a big car payment coming up that we could use some extra cash on” thoughts, but I refrained. I could see that the laptop wasn’t just hardware but a physical culmination of her tireless work and determination.
I’m happy that Amy finally received something that she’s been working years for. Here’s to you honey and all of your efforts!
