The wife left...

[Dingo]

...and seemed to be in a hurry. Had just come home to pick up the youngest for a routine MD appt. I stretched, grinned, surveyed the empty house all to myself, and went upstairs to grab a jacket so I could tuck in for a horror movie on the couch. I walk into our bedroom, and there on my pillow was...

A brand spankin' new Fender acoustic/electric guitar that I'd been lovingly caressing in Guitar Center the day before, with a "I love you" note attached to it. It's not my b'day, our anniversary, any special occasion. She just had some extra money from her tax return, and wanted to surprise me! Evidently she'd been secretly talking to my brothers for a few weeks, trying to get them to covertly figure out which guitar I wanted. I still play on the old $80 no-name guitar I got 10 years ago from a Media Play store closing. Its been a good guitar, but it has so many buzzes and loose parts that it's getting harder to play. Anyway, we were poking around Guitar Center yesterday, and I fell in love with the Fender after playing it. Decided I was going to save my money for unexpected expenses.

There's just no down side to this woman. I think this is the nicest, most thoughtful gift anybody's ever given me. I've played it so much today my fingers hurt. :-)

[Bailey Guns]

Very nice! A much happier ending than I imagined from the thread title.

[blacklabel]

Awesome surprise! You've got a good one!

[Dryfli]

Good women you've got!

[GlockDog47]

Wow lucky dude!

[Slapps74]

Yea I was thinking the worst! I came home one day after dating my wife for about three months and there was a brand new Honda RC51 in the garage and she was sitting on it! She makes sure I get what I want before what she wants or needs! She is a great woman and it sounds like you have the same. Congrats

[waxthis]

Pure awesome. Your a lucky man, and the fingers will be just fine.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Mine just went to the grocery store.

[mackbamf]

That's what it is all about right there. You are a lucky man indeed...

[UncleDave]

Yeah mine surprised me last year with a Colt Delta Gold Cup I had been drooling over. The good ones are hard to find, but they are out there!

[sniper7]

Great surprise! From the title i thought this was another divorce thread! Glad it is far from it!

[bogie]

Congratulations on your guitar and keeping your marriage intact!

[wARmachine15]

That's awesome man.

[laportecharlie]

Happy new guitar day!! You're one very lucky dude.

[vossman]

Or she's cheating on you and covering her tracks by mentally thowing you off her trail with lavish gifts.....just saying.
And Im kidding, but its always a thought!

[BuffCyclist]

That is truly spectacular and you've definitely got a keeper!

[Singlestack]

Jackpot!!! Now you should do the same for her...

I recently left something in the bed for my wife. She said it took an hour to air out the bedroom.

[jackthewall81]

Scared me for a second. Awesome wife you have! Wish my girlfriend would leave a LaRue OBR on my pillow...

[Mtn.man]

Yeah, but who cares, just keep giving you the good stuff and keep her stud muffin quite.

holy **** that's awesome!

[jerrymrc]

Three pages and nobody has asked if she has a sister. I am proud of the membership today (unlike other days but then i think I stole that) [Flower]

[DavieD55]

Man, that is really awesome. [Beer]

[Troublco]

Ain't it great when you've got a good one? Congrats!

Now instead of saving for a guitar, you get to save for a small, ornate shiny object.


(Or you had best be)

[splogan]

Ya got a good one

[n8tive97]

Yup, she's a keeper...

[rockhound]

Nice, was expecting another divorce thread

This is what I was thinking... Maybe some earrings or something... Chick dig earrings, or is it diamonds? Either way, wait a few weeks until she's forgotten about it, then surprise her with something.
Is it time to start the COAR band? I hear Big Bear is pretty damn good with brass instruments. [Beer]

[liberty19]

Awesome! A great woman is hard to find these days. I got one too and wouldn't trade her for the world.

[griebel303]

Dang! Your wife is a good woman! Definitely a keeper

[Jolly Green]

Thats awesome! You have a winner there!
