I Could Have Sworn It Was Mothers' Day



So, a few days ago Brandi calls me at the pharmacy and says, "I have your Fathers' Day present and I'm not sure how to hide it. Should I just give it to you now?" I replied that it would be fun, but that whatever it is, she should wait.

Then, today, as I'm leaving for work, she says, "Well, I have a surprise for you this afternoon."

After I get off work, we head to Brandi's mom's house for Mothers' Day dinner. My brother-in-law pulls up and has a new Kawasaki Teryx on a trailer. This didn't strike me as terribly odd because he works at the dealership that sells them. I just assumed he must be delivering one or demoing it or something. Brandi and I had looked at them a few times and had talked about how much fun one would be. I saw it on the trailer and jokingly told my brother-in-law that he could drop that off at my house if he wanted.

Well, a few minutes later Gavin and Pacie come running up and say, "Dad, come look at your new wheeler!" I laughed and said, "Yeah, wouldn't that be fun." And then I notice everyone is staring at me and Brandi has her camera out taking pictures.

Needless to say, I love it and have the most wonderful wife in the world...and not just because she surprised me with a new Teryx. Now, I've just got to figure out what I'm going to get her for Fathers' Day.

SWEET!!! You do have an amazing wife! Oh and if you could remove those pictures before Shane sees them...that would be great (wouldn't want him to be too disappointed with his new weedwhacker) J/K
Looks like tons of fun!

Well, it isn't quite the jeep you used to have when we were in Dixie, but I can still see you driving it to work. ;) Your wife is pretty awesome, but then it is Brandi and I don't cross Brandi (I have a vivid memory of playing a game where I think my life was threatened), she is quite the woman.
