Blessings coming out of my eyeballs...
During Christmas 2006, almost one year after I arrived, I spent the holiday season with my mission friends, Jack and Jane Stevens. While enjoying their home in a small southern Alabama town called Brewton, they gave me a little envelope on Christmas day with a note that said, "A laptop computer." As soon as we could, after the 25th, we went and purchased a new HP dv6000--a good computer that has served me well (almost to the death).Fast forward to today, about 2 1/2 years after that awesome Christmas--here I am. Not south Alabama, but south St. George, and I'm about to go to Washington, D.C. for my summer internship. Yup, you guessed it, the Stevens purchased me a new computer today. We went to Costco (looked at a few computers) and then we went to Best Buy.
Pictured here is an example of my new HP dv5 that we purchased today. I know. I'm really spoilt but I figure that I must be doing something right.

Adam! That's so awesome. I'm glad to have found your blog to keep up on what's happening in your incredible life.
So, since I am *not* spoiled I am doing something wrong? I am now more convinced than EVER that we need to swap a kiss (Hello, "Just My Luck"). P.s. I will never forget your visit to Alabama that Christmas. Never. :)
“When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.” ~ Albert Einstein. What a blessing for you to have the Steven's in your life and I am sure they would say the same thing...we all feel so blessed to have known you. Amazing how the Lord puts certain people in our path on this earthlife that are so kind and selfless.
I guess I am not doing anything right, either! Congrats!
