I woke him up and told him to shower and get ready for work then to let me know when he was ready. I finished getting dinner in the oven while he was getting ready. When he was ready I had him come into the family room where I had the candy bar poster on the couch.
He read it and then I told him to follow me. I had him stand outside the bedroom door while I went inside so I could get his reaction on camera!
When he walked in he was totally shocked!!
He gave me a big hug and kiss and we both cried.... yes, you heard that right WE CRIED OVER A GUITAR! He was speechless.... he just kept saying 'Thank You!' 'Thank You!!' I had him get it out and take a look at it.
Then we came into the family room and he played for a bit. We ate dinner and talked for a while. It was a great evening together.
Just look at that cheesy grin! He has the giddy/excited look on his face holding his new guitar!
Aahh, the sweet sound of an Ibanez guitar! I must say I don't know much about guitars but this new shinny guitar sounds amazing!
What a good day!! I am so happy Jared loved his surprise.
I think I just scored enough points to last me a few months... or years??
Looks like someone has some catch up to do!!
(I still like flowers... or diamonds Babe!)
Just kidding!!
He told me after I gave him the guitar that he had a surprise already in
motion for me! He knows that I want to go back to school and has been saving money to get me a new computer! How cool is that. I am amazed that he would even do something like that.
I actually went and met with the nursing advisor at UVU today. My news from her was less than exciting! If I started going to school full time this fall I could apply to the nursing program in fall of 2010. There is an average of 160 - 250 applicants per semester, with 40 applications accepted per semester with the average GPA of 3.98 of those accepted!
Sounds almost impossible to me! My GPA is 3.68 which I would have thought was pretty good but apparently not as great as I thought! So I guess we'll see if I change my major or what happens in the next few months!! It feels like my dreams are not as close or as easy to obtain as I would have hoped!
