So I thought today could not get any better. Work was productive and I had just gotten my new Zodiac. Very nice.
But then my wife got home today with a surprise that blew me away.
It has been a tough month for us. Our 12 year old dog was put to sleep after she bit our 2 1/2 year old son for no reason at all. It was "her" dog and she is still to this day upset about everything that happened. I took care of all of the sad details with the dog, the hospital, everything, - like you would expect a husband to do. It was just sad all around, but in the end our son is OK and that is all that really mattered.
All the "stuff" with the dog and my son's medical trips was expensive and completely exhausting. These were expenses that could not be avoided and had to be paid. At the same time we all knew about the big SAN Reserve (5216) that was premiered on the Invicta shows. I LOVED that watch ever since the sneak peek pictures were released - ESPECIALLY the two tone black one. But I just could not afford it at the time.
Well tonight, and about 3-4 weeks later my wife comes home with a box and just says to me - "honey, I love you. This is your Christmas present and I just could not wait to give it to you. You have to have it right now." (Of course she also knew that we only had 30 days to return it if there was any problems, haha.). I literally had no idea what she was talking about.
I was completely shocked and had no idea what she had purchased since I was in the NBZ for anything really above a 50-75 steal from Ebay. Apparently she had pretended to go to sleep early that first night the watch aired on TV and run upstairs to our office bought the watch completely without me knowing it. She had it delivered to her office.
Like I said, I had no clue what was in store for me. While the pictures below suck since I took them with my cell phone quickly, I can not tell you how lucky I am to have a wife like mine. I am blown away by her every day.
