THNRBLT

Okay, so our tags are due this month for the van.  Lonnie really wanted to replace our license plate with the fallen officers one.  So...I did.  However, I thought that it would be neat to surprise him and customize the plate for our family.  When trying to come up with something I thought of many things...since I primarily drive the van I wanted something related to the Texas Longhorns, or perhaps something related to sports.  Anyhow, I came up with the idea to do something related to police work since Lonnie, his father, his brother, and his uncle have all served or are currently serving.  And yes, I do feel it appropriate to say they are serving!  Anyhow, I didn't want anything with our names on it so I came up with something else.  THNRBLT  This does have something to do with police work...it was Lonnie's class name at the academy.  

So the tags for the van came in a couple of days ago and I asked Lonnie if they mail the license plate or if I had to pick it up.  He said that it too should be mailed and not to stick the tags on the old license plate.  Really??  J/K  I asked him today if it takes longer for it to come if they have been customized.  He said, "You got it customized?"  I said "yes".  Well, what did you put?  THNRBLT  Needless to say he didn't get it until I wrote it down on paper for him.  He started laughing.  What kind of response was that...besides lame?  I told him that when I told his brother Brent that his response was "awesome".  Maybe Brent was the one I should have married!
