Graduation Gift

It's a good story.

I came home from a long day at clinical a few weeks ago,

(right before leaving for Galveston)

and while chatting with the girls and talking with Joe,

I noticed men -

half a dozen strange men -

in my backyard.

My whole family broke out in grins.

While I had been at work,

these men had been busy digging up my backyard

and getting ready to pour my new patio

and I had no idea.

I went outside to see what was going on

and the men all high-fived my husband.

"Does she know about the hot tub now too?"

Hot tub?

Did somebody say "hot tub"?!

Joe's grin got bigger and he showed me the new spa that had been 

delivered  the day before and I hadn't even noticed it in our backyard.

The new pavement set in 24 hours and the men were back,

wiring our new hot tub and getting it set up.

I got to use it one time before going out to UTMB in Galveston for 3 weeks.

Best early graduation gift EVER.

My husband knows me well.

CHEERS!
