ruby sparks // scurvy bob.

 heaven help me if this is a post that is lost on the outside world. if this isn't funny to anyone but me, dang, i'll be so sad. 

i rang in the new year in boise with andi and spencer. my favorite place to be, by the way.
born in accidental terrible decisions, we have a tradition of watching really crummy redbox movies while eating crazy bread and drinking diet coke really late at night.  four really admirable time/gut occupiers, i know. spencer always gets to choose the movie... and never once has he disappointed in his selection. {suckerpunch, the roommate, valentine's day among others...}

this time, not so terrible: ruby sparks.  the story of a novelist who fell so deep in love with the character in his latest book, he writes her into real life. 

fast forward to new year's eve. we partied like senior citizens and andi and i started in on a mega jigsaw puzzle after dinner. spencer, though, not a puzzle piecer, stood by and kept us company while doodling on the ipad. ever the subject of bad dating stories and wishful thinking, spencer gleaned inspiration from our conversation and drew me boyfriends. 

this one is scurvy bob.


and he came with an email: 

subject: fun!

thanks for the sweet time tonight... hey can i borrow some cash? i will totally pay you back as soon as i get paid from the time i fell down at maverik. 

love,

s.bob

HOW COULD I RESIST?


 fast forward to andi and spencer's saturday adventure family sleigh ride. 
something about this photo rang strangely familiar to my head and my heart....


it was scurvy bob! my one true love


spencer single handedly ruby sparksed s.bob into my life.
they've always got my back... always looking out for my eternal well being and ultimate happiness.

this is a lame post, but this is what my life has come to: make believe love with idaho mountain men.

Scurvy Bob is Brother Webster!!!! (OK I'm not entire sure about this, but if it isn't my Brother Webster it's his scurvy twin.) He taught my Sunday School class when I was an unruly 14 year old and we made him mad enough to smack his knee with a rolled up manual. Turns out he's a super nice man.
