So, I come home from school on Monday and there is a note on the door that says, "Please knock before coming in." Unfortunately, I saw it as I was opening the door, (but all is well). There standing is my incredibly wonderful husband with our video camera in hand and a big grin on his face. He was standing behind our new ROCKING CHAIR!! He surprised me and bought me this rocking chair while I was at school. He even put a pink bow on it. I was so surprised!BUT, here is the real story. I drive to school everyday because I'm lazy and don't want to walk. So, I had the car. Josh contacted the previous owner and rode his bike to his house to go look at it. He thought it was a good deal and bought it for only twenty bucks. To get it home, Josh rode 12 blocks on his bike with one hand on his handle bar and the other hand carrying this HUGE rocking chair uphill!!!!!!!! Can you believe that?!!! Then, he had to go all the way back to get the ottoman. He said his muscles were dying by the end, but he really wanted to surprise me. Now, if that isn't a good story, I don't know what is. Josh is seriously the most thoughtful, sweetest person in this world. He always does the most wonderful things. I can't believe he's mine.
I LOVE my new chair. Over Thanksgiving break, we're going to refinish it to have a darker brown wood and make a slip cover to cover up the ugly green. We're excited to have a project to do. I can't wait to rock my little baby girl in that chair and now, I have a great story to tell with it.

That is so incredibly awesome. Lucky you - and lucky baby to have such a great story told her someday.
When I told Roy this story he said "Yeah, Josh is crazy like that." We couldn't believe he could bring a big chair like that home on a bike. You are a lucky girl for sure!
That is AMAZING! Josh, you never cease to amaze me! You two are perfect together!
