A few weeks ago James was working on a secret something and asked me to (1) pick out my favorite picture and (2) pick out a font (text style) that I liked. I thought about it for a while and since I didn’t know what he would be doing with said items, I told him for the picture to go ahead and pick any of the dragonfly pictures I took over the summer from out in our yard. For the font, James printed off TWELVE pages of fonts and I went through and narrowed it down to a few that I liked and then finally to the one we both liked the best. I had no idea what James was going to do with all of this, but I figured he might be making some kind of personalized birthday card or something else along those lines.
Ok, fast forward to a week or so later and I received a box from Amazon in the mail. James asked what it was and I told him I had gone ahead and bought a birthday gift for myself (before my birthday) because I had been wanting it since before Christmas it had gone on sale. James asked what it was and I told him it was the Flip Video Camera. He got a strange look on his face and told me I’d have to send it back since he already got me one for my birthday and it was on it’s way.
Can you say HUGE whoops? I really had no idea he was going to get it for me, especially since I had been wanting one since before Christmas and hadn’t gotten it. I figured he had forgotten and when I saw it on sale at Amazon, I just went ahead and got it. **Note to self: Never do that again!** I felt absolutely awful and apologized again and again, which James accepted, but didn’t make me feel any better. 🙁
Ok, now to the present. I had returned the Flip Video I bought and we were waiting for the one James got me to arrive. Due to the snow and bad weather the previous week, it had been delayed, but showed online that it was out for delivery. And yes, there it was waiting for us when we got home! I told James I could wait until my birthday to open it up, but he told me to go ahead and open it!
So, I sat down and started opening up the box!
And what was I so excited about??

Personalized Flip Micro Video
A Flip Micro Video Camera that was absolutely amazing and completely customized just for me!!
The dragonfly is a picture I took over the summer out in our yard, so points for it being (1) a picture I took, (2) a dragonfly, and (3) from our yard! The font was the one I picked out and fits perfect with my name across the top! No worries about someone not know that it’s my camera!! 🙂
So, extra double bonus points to James for being the most amazingly thoughtful husband ever!!!
Yet, that wasn’t it! There was even more accessories for my new Flip Video in the box as well!
Overall, James got me the Flip Micro Video Camera, action tripod, 2 carrying cases, a wide angle lens, waterproof pouch, and an outlet charger (normally you just plug the camera into the computer to charge)!
–Update– What I couldn’t include in the initial post was that the reason I decided to go ahead and get the Flip Video (and the reason James independently did as well!), is that we both thought it would be great to have a small and easy to use video camera around once the baby comes!! I guess great minds really do think alike! 😉
