The gift

I got stuff to put in an Easter basket for Drew & for my mom but as would be the case for me, I got home & realized I had left all of the stuff at school.

I hadn't completed the shopping for the contents of Drew's basket yet (plus I ate all of the Reeses Eggs. Whoops.)  so I just kinda gave up on the idea & went on my merry way celebrating Easter without Easter baskets for my loves. Oh well. 

But since I didn't put the stuff in Easter baskets for them I was left with some chocolate, lip plumping lip gloss & hair clips for my mom and Sour Patch Kids bunnies (his favorite) and a big pack of gum I had picked up for Drew. 

So last night I remembered the things & I was like, "Hey! Drew! I have some surprises for you! Close your eyes!" 

You know, because it's always mandatory that someone's eyes be closed when giving them a surprise. 

Anyway, he was thrilled with the candy & started eating the Sour Patch Kids right away & that was that until he was like, "Oh! I have a present for you in my car too!" 

I lost my beloved Camelback water bottle yesterday & I told him about it & he said he'd get me a new one so I figured that's what it was & I was pumped! 

We ran to his car in the rain & once we got inside he said, "I don't really have a present for you, I just wanted you to walk out here with me."

 I was sad but he quickly said, "Just Kidding!" and opened up the console and pulled out a watch.

It was a watch that was not in a box or a bag or anything that meant he bought it and it was ugly as hell and I know that boy. I was all "Drew, where did you get this?" and he started saying something about why did I have to know where it was from etc. etc. but I didn't let up because I knew. 

"Was this your mom's that she didn't want anymore?" No.

"Was this your grandma's that she didn't want anymore?" No.

"Ok well it says Chico's on it & I know you've never been to Chico's"

"What's Chaco's?" ::ha!::  That Boy. 

"Did you find it?" Laughs. "Maybe! But isn't it pretty?"

So now I have yet another thing that doesn't match a thing I own, is totally not my style, that Drew gave me, that I have to pretend that I like & wear at least once.

If you see that scar, no I don't cut, I scraped my arm on a bookshelf.




& this is just one of the reasons I seriously love this boy. 

 He honestly thinks it's pretty & never thought I'd know.

Oh my. This could have been written about my guy. Even though I've never received a watch, this is totally something he would do too. haha. Love that his intentions were sweet, even if the gift was a little sour! :)
