I'm In Love

While I'm obviously still madly in love with my husband, I have to admit that I fell in love with something else today too. Yes--it's a "thing." Before I tell you what it is, I first must tell you the story of how we met.

Today Chad had a meeting in Lawrence, so at about 11:00 a.m. he called and asked me to meet him at home for an early lunch. A few seconds after I walked in the door, Chad excused himself to use the facilities. A few seconds after that, I heard a strange ringtone that didn't sound familiar at all. I started looking for the source, thinking that Chad had changed the ringtone on his Blackberry. The ring was coming from the charging station in our kitchen, but his phone wasn't even on the charging station, so I was completely confused. After another ring, I realized there was something behind the charging station making the noise. When I pulled it out to look, I saw this:


I knew immediately (after a split second thought of "who's iPhone is this?" that Chad bought it for me, because I'd already asked him for an iphone for Christmas, since that's when my Verizon contract was supposed to run out!

Isn't in beautiful? Here's another shot, just for good measure.

I almost took a picture of me kissing it, but I thought that might be a little much. :)

The point is, this thing is freaking amazing and I love it. I've been mesmerized pretty much all day long. Our evening was spent with Chad strumming the guitar while I downloaded applications and took pictures and videos. Here's one of the videos, which I uploaded to Youtube straight from my fantastic phone!!



How awesome is that, and how cute is my little Celtic? Chad thought the video was a little long, but I think that little guy is just precious!

Thanks to my wonderful husband for the terrific early birthday surprise today! I love you, best friend!
