I got mega points for that!

I decided to buy Dave a present yesterday, as a surprise. And he was VERY happy!
A 20" flat panel LCD monitor. Only problem is this...I can't say to him "why are you always on the computer?" when he has a great monitor like that! Believe it or not, he actually left the house last night! I was a bit surprised. But we had to go to an 8 year old's birthday party. Holy crap there were a lot of kids! I picked up little Marshall (born July 10th) and he proceeded to fall asleep in my arms. I put him down, and ended up with Benjamin (almost 5 months old). After a little while, he fell asleep too. What does that say about me that it takes me no time to put kids to sleep???
When we were getting ready to leave, Dave's sister-in-law said "we're grabbing a bottle of wine and going home!" and that turned into dave, me, and his 2 sisters going to his brothers house to drink beer and talk. It was SO much fun! It's not often we get a chance to hang out in a small group like that because Dave has a HUGE family. With his parents, siblings and their spouses/significant others/kids/grandkids, there are 37 people. I have one brother, one sister-in-law and 2 nieces...WAY different! Anyway, when his family gets together it can be (and usually is) a crazy mess. So just the 6 of us hanging out was fun. And we get to have the whole family together today!! Woo hoo!

It took me so long to count Dave's family, I no longer know what that paragraph says. Hope it makes sense!

Somehow I read the first sentence as "I decided to buy Dave a present yesterday, and surpise! he was very Happy"

I was confused until I re-read it as it made it sound like it was a surprise that I liked it.

Anyways it is the bestest present ever!
