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?!

See, some guys DO read the instructions ;-)

Pulling out some of the speakers.

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 ;-)
