That Was Fast!

Today I called Matthew and asked him if he had read my new post petitioning him for a new camera. He read it while I was on the phone and then we hung up. An hour later he called me and told me if I wanted to I could come to his store and pick up a surprise. I was out the door ad on my way really fast. I just KNEW there on his desk would be a big box with my new camera in it. So imagine my surprise when I walked in and saw this: That was my surprise. The new Coldplay CD. Which by the way is awesome. I'm even making a special trip to Utah in November to see the closing night of their concert. So I was really happy to see that sitting there, but I really was expecting a camera. So when Matthew got back to the store from a meeting I thanked him with a hug and then told him I had been expecting something else, so it sure was a surprise. So I told him what I had been expecting and he gave me a chuckle. I was NOT being ungrateful and wondering where my new camera was. As luck would have it, Matthew shares building space with Video Only, had time to go and buy me a camera and was happy to go do so. I felt a touch spoiled but not too much. This is what I got:I don't know if this is my exact one, but it's close enough. I'm super duper happy because I went home with 2 great presents and I'm not even sure I deserve them. Here is the very first picture I took with it:

Here is me driving away from Matthew's store a very happy wife:Here is Sabine glad to be the recipient of the dud camera:

I always thought it was really cheesy when wives would blog about how much they oozed love for their husbands. I would read these posts and gag and roll my eyes because sometimes the posts were so mushy-mushy and lovey. But I must say that I was really lovin' Matthew today because he knew just what would make me happy today. And if he didn't know and just got it right anyway, I love him for that too. I'm grateful for everything that he does for our little family. I'm going to be taking alot of pictures now. AND I don't have to be embarrassed about my camera anymore. Thanks Matthew!
