New Laptop!

Derek gave me a big surprise yesterday. I got a new laptop! My first laptop!

Apparently he put it on layaway a couple of months ago and has been waiting for his first paycheck to pick it up. He wanted me to have it for Nano, so I can write on the bus more easily.

So, even though it's an anniversary present (11 years November 22), he gave it to me early.

I was completely blown away - I had no idea he had this planned.

What a doll!

Isn't he the nicest guy ever. He picked me up at the bus station last night and we went to the Pennywhistle for supper. I saw him get the laptop bag out of the car, but I assumed it was his and he didn't want it to get stolen/cold.

Then he sets it on the table and there's a bow and a card!

He said he was counting on my bad observation skills to get it to the restaurant without me noticing. It worked!
