Up until a month ago, Dan was getting a laptop from me. He'd look at them every time we went into an electronics store and I was planning on selling my laptop so I'd have some extra cash to get a really nice one for him. Then all of a sudden, he decided he didn't want a laptop, he'd rather have a desktop for our office. Fine. I'm so glad I hadn't bought the laptop yet.
So, I was at a loss. Over the weekend we drove by our favorite antique store (yes, it's his favorite, too) and we saw that they're going out of business and everything is 20-60% off. He had seen an antique Bausch & Lombe microscope (keep in mind, he's a chemist, he loves this stuff) with a case and all kinds of accessories in there a few months back but it was too expensive. I asked my FMIL to take a ride by there today to see what the price was and it's well within what I wanted to spend for him. I can't wait.
He wanted to take a ride there this weekend to visit the microscope, I'm going to have to put on my best surprised face when he finds out that it isn't there anymore!!
he's going to be so excited to open it on our wedding day!! (which is 54 days away, holy crapola)
