Eagle Eye is a Lucky Duck

My husband has to be one of the luckiest people alive. Besides marrying me, of course, he has a habit of finding the most random things in the most random locations. When we first got married he found a tv in a ditch. It had been there for months before he brought it home. It had been rained on, snowed on, and who knows what else....but somehow, Ryan got it to work and we are still using it almost 15 years later. Over the years he has found a brand new wet suit, an assortment of tools, money, and who knows what else on the side of the road. I don't know how he spots these things, but now, every time he starts to say..."what's that?" the girls yell, "Dad...don't stop...just keep driving!"

When we were in Vegas last weekend Ryan spotted something in the bushes on the strip. Don't ask me how...eagle eye strikes again...Usually I get annoyed when he stops, but this time I was glad because in the bushes he found an ipod Touch. Are you freakin' kidding me! LUCKY DUCK! It looks almost brand new! We kept it of course because seriously, who are you going to turn it in to in the middle of the strip in Las Vegas?! He took it back to the hotel, erased the memory and downloaded our stuff. The story gets even better. Now I know what you're thinking...how is that possible? But it does....when we were in Vegas in January, Ryan found some cords for an ipod. We didn't have an ipod, but Ryan kept them anyway and it's a good thing he did because....fast forward to Vegas 3 months later....he found an ipod.
