Surprise incoming!



Wife had a surprise waiting for me when I got home from work today! Makes the time without my shattered GMT a little easier to deal with.

This floored me guys...my wife is the LEAST thoughtful person I know. Not meaning that in a bad way, it's just how she is. I NEVER thought she would do something like this. So the back story is that we put her through nursing school. I changed my work schedule to stay home with the kids while she was in school. I bought the GMT after she was out of school but had wanted it for 20+ years. We have 4 kids and it's chaos around here, not gonna lie, I do a lot of the house work and get the kids off to school most days as we have a 5 1/2 month old and I try to let her sleep when she can. She tells me tonight "you do so much for all of us and never for yourself" she's probably right but it still takes me to my knees that this person who admittedly says she isn't thoughtful does this. I am lucky, I am blessed! Thanks all for the comments.
