Best Husband & Daddy E-V-E-R

If you saw my Facebook status today then here is the reason why "Misti Beaver has THE best husband in the world"! Well, this is just one of the many reasons!!!

We have been trying to find a Mother's Day Out for Lexi to attend next school year. We toured one at a Baptist Church but I just did not feel right about it. Bryan then went online to try to find others and came across one that looked and sounded great (online) and was closer to our house. Last Friday Bryan was going out to run a few errands and asked if there was anything I needed him to do? I asked if he would stop by this church and see if he could look around at the facility and if there was anyone he could ask a few questions to, as we were not going to be able to tour the facility before registration day (today). He did this and met the director of the program who he was very impressed by. Bryan asked her what their procedure was going to be on registration day and what time we should be there (we knew they started the registration at 8am)? The director told him that there were 4 spots available for Lexi's age group on Tues/Thurs and 2 spots left on Mon/Wed. She said getting there about 9 would pretty much guarantee Lexi a spot. Bryan, "But, doesn't registration start at 8"? The director, "Oh yes, I mean 9pm the night before". Bryan, "Are you serious"? The director, "Yes sir". She then said we would actually, probably be okay to get there about 3am, since there were still several openings for her age group. Oh thanks, that's A LOT better! When Bryan called to tell me about this meeting I could not believe it. I just decided we'd get there when we got there an if she got in, she got in and if she didn't, she'd go on the waiting list. So Saturday evening we are talking about our week ahead and Bryan tells me he is going to go up to this church Monday morning at 3am!!! He said the facility was so nice and the director impressed him so much that he really wanted Lexi to get in there. WOW; okay! So, this morning Bryan arrived at the church at 2:45am. The director had told him that in years past, those waiting would post a sign on the door and list their name, what kind of car they drove and what age group they were registering for. This was their way of agreeing that they would not leave the parking lot but were not going to have to stand outside in a line. Sure enough there was a sign posted when Bryan arrived. He was number 11 on the list...AT 2:45am!!! But, there were only 5 people ahead of him who were registering children for the same age group as Lexi. So, he knew that he would get one of the spots if the director was infact right about the remaining openings. So, he tried to sleep and waited...all night! We texted off and on prior to the doors opening and in one text he told me that there was a lady who got there at midnight with her 6 month old baby and 2 year old little boy!!! This is serious stuff!!! I got a text at 8:21am saying, "She got in"! WOO-HOO! Lexi got the LAST spot available for her age group before they started putting kids on the waiting list. While we were planning for her to go on Tues/Thurs, those days were filled up by the time it was Bryan's turn to register. So, she will be attending Mother's Day Out on Mon/Wed next Fall and we are very excited about it.

One other thing...I asked Bryan in one of our texts if there were any other Dads there and he said, "No, no other Dads". See? Lexi is one very lucky little girl and I am one very lucky Mommy!

So, there you have it. Just one of the many reasons why I have THE best husband in the world!
