A Knock at the Door...

There is never really a dull moment when you live in an apartment building full of people who study full-time and have no other outlet than to come up with fun, practical jokes...so this begins our newest blog entry...a few weeks ago when dining with our friends, Dan and Steph (who happen to be IWU alum, so you already know they are great people!), at Subway, Kristen stumbled across a toy car in the middle of the parking lot. In an effort to cheer Steph up on her way to work (it was Sunday afternoon) Kristen gave her the small car as a gift. Steph proudly displayed the car on her dashboard and drove away. Never did we think that a month later this car would bring such laughter and excitement to our lives. That evening when out for a walk, Viktor noticed that the toy car had been gently placed on our windshield wiper...and so the fun began. We decided that we would package the small car in a large box and send it through campus mail as a surprise gift back at Dan and Steph. Who doesn't enjoy getting packages when you're away at school?!?! :) We believe we were spreading a little extra cheer with all the excitement that comes with receiving a package, but we must say that their next endeavor was much more creative than sending a package. A few nights ago we were sitting in our apartment watching a movie when we suddenly were startled from a large bang. Viktor got up to see if something had fallen off the wall, but nothing seemed out of the norm. We didn't think it sounded like a knock at the door, but when nothing else proved to be out of place, we opened the door to find a special surprise. Just as we were standing over the masterpiece at our feet, we could hear a bunch of commotion on the first floor...that would've been Dan and Steph running back to their apartment from their 4th floor delivery. For those of you who enjoy The Office... you will appreciate these pictures...(the car is embedded in jello)..

We're so thankful for the friends that we've been blessed with and the fun we have together!
