Miss Amber wants to weld? What?

Oh were does one begin on a tale such as this. First the deal with Miss Amber is she is renowned for being well manual labor/tool using inept and well to be quite honest there in lies the charm of this gal. You see it is no secret that the girls first run in with tools was when Miss Ryan asked her to hammer something over a year ago and well we all know that was well just the beginning of her Cowgirl Education. Since then she has learned how to use the screw driver both the Philips and the Standard and well if I have jacked those up or if they are the same type I apologize. (star one and flat one) As we discussed time and time again Miss Amber could take you through a Black Friday crowd of shoppers with the stealth of a secret service agent on a mission, but you ask the girl to build, assemble, or hang something and well there is a look of confusion, puzzlement, and utter shock. To say the least its simply just not the way she rolls.

This being said you can imagine the utter shock and horror that Miss Ryan had when Miss Amber up and texts that she is going to weld. Oh ya you read that right it is not a typo, the girl said she was going to weld! Straight up the reaction was "Saints preserve us!" Miss Ryan was understandably in shock and I doubt that getting the text stating "Just got told I can not wear a ruffle jacket or jewelry! Seriously?" from Miss Amber did not put Miss Ryan at ease! For you see silly Miss Ryan even made the mistake of recommending that Miss Amber not wear Carharts! Oh if that wasn't hysterical I truly don't know what is! I mean Miss Amber doesn't own Carharts bahahahaha.

Why was Miss Amber wanting to weld? Ah you see there has been much speculation about this. First thought was that she was on a Triple Shot high and had finally gone mad, then there was the concern that she was just excited because she saw sparkles and thought of fireworks and well you know she does like shiny things. But the fact of the matter is this, Miss Amber's fiance is building a custom chopper and well she has had the privilege of watching the metal cutting, welding situation that has been going down in the garage, and well ya its way sparkly!

You can only imagine the patience that Joe must have to not only be willing to teach Miss Amber to weld, but the pure frightening fact that she was using a scorching hot welder is enough to make any man shutter in fear! Not to mention as stated earlier the darling girl wanted to sport a ruffle jacket and rings, and necklaces about it. The poor man had to have been thinking "What in the world have I begun?" But like a champ he simply with no raise of the voice, or even under the breath "What the Haiti is she trying to do?" he simply just looked at Miss Amber and said "No you can not wear that get a shirt on and no jewelry". To which in true Miss Amber form gasped in horror, and was shocked about the whole deal but complied by wearing a hot pink shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes which for the record she didn't even try to wear heels to weld! (we were so proud;)

The Girl is Welding!
Here is the scariest part of the whole scenario! She LOVED IT! No lie the girl was a welding fool, and even Joe had to give her props for the effort, and her skill (which skill is used very loosely here but the fact that she didn't start on fire, burn herself, or Joe is speaking volumes for the whole scenario!) Now to say the least the girl surprised all of us and in a good way! She loved doing it, and it really goes to show that even though she may not be a cowgirl she is definitely always willing to try something new even if it is in hot pink ;)
