Easter Part 2: The Rebel

As I mentioned in my previous blog I organized an amazing Easter egg hunt for Jared in celebration of Easter. He had promised to organize one for me but was waiting for "something" to come in the mail. He seemed super excited about the hunt and was finally able to put it together yesterday when I came home from work. As I walked in the front door I saw a beautiful Easter basket with Peeps, Reeces peanut butter bunnies and a plastic egg. Inside of the egg was a clue. These clues then led me all over the house in circles, to our mail box and then finally the trunk of our Honda. The last clue I found was a description of a date we had been on where we went up to the Snow Bowl and ate Burger King cheeseburgers. He then told me to get into the car. Sitting on the front seat was the burgers and some fries. My taste buds immediately started going crazy. As we drove up to the Snow Bowl I had to distract myself from eating all of the food. We got up to our favorite look-out, over looking most of Northern Arizona and devoured our food.

After eating I wanted to play with our Aerobie, the high performance frisbee. Jared then asked me to grab it out of the car. As I went to grab the Aerobie I spotted a professional camera bag sitting right next to it. Feeling weak I looked at Jared with unbelief in my eyes. Sitting in that bag was the EOS Canon Rebel XS that I had been wanting. I just recently registered for a photography class in the fall and really needed a new camera for it. I did not dream that I would really own the camera I wanted. The ironic thing about the location where Jared choose to give me the camera is that this is the exact location where my last camera died. Now I will always remember this place as where my new camera came to life. Tears came to my eyes as I realized what an amazing husband I had. I tell him all the time that I spoil him, but the truth of the matter is that I am beyond spoiled.

On the way home from the mountain, and after taking a plethora of pictures Jared then told me that if I ever wanted, I could surprise him with a Nintendo Wii. Maybe one day I will. Until then, all I know is that I am the luckiest women on the face of the earth.

I love this man.

I love my life.
