This is how it
all started:
Phil: “I got you a present”
Darby: “Oh you did?!” (insert HUGE goofy grin)
Phil: “You’re going to love it”
Darby: “oooo I am? What is it? And what for?”
Phil: “Surround Sound, and just because”
<long pause>
Darby: “Is that a gift for me or a gift for you?”
Laugh-Out-Loud! Yes, my husband got me surround sound. This is not normally a gift I would choose, or even really consider for myself. Typically I’m a jewelry and shoes kind of gal, and fortunately my hubby has fantastic taste in these areas. So I was a little shocked when this gift was presented to me. Phil purchased and installed the system himself back in May; he is so handy, I think I’ll keep him ;-)
One day when I came home, the huge box was sitting by the door. Who doesn't love big boxes?!

Destroying the house with wires…..
everywhere while the system was being installed. You can't even see the wires now.

Needless to say, NOW I CAN HEAR!!!
To be honest, I didn’t really pay that much attention to the new sound system, until NFL preseason started back just because that’s pretty much all I watch. Now, let me tell you, I’m in heaven! Now I can clearly
see hear why I did, in fact,
NEED this gift. We have 6 speakers around our living room catching every single sound from the field. I had no idea how much sound I was actually missing before.
I love it! Thanks babe for a wonderful gift, even if it might have been a gift for you too ;-)
