...sURpRiSE!!!

So I have the best & sneakiest husband ever! So yesterday morning we were over at Doug's parents & I realized I forgot the flowers for his mom. So I left to go get them & upon my return I noticed that there must be someone over because there was a random car in the driveway. The closer I got, I saw that there was a bow on the windshield & that it was the Ford Edge that I had been wanting! :) I was a little baffled because Doug is not very good at keeping secrets. But he sure pulled one on me! He said he was always wondering if I knew, but I hate to admit, I never look at our bank account or credit statements. So he got pretty lucky! The cool thing about this car is that it was a rental & got totaled. Doug purchased it off an auction & rebuilt all the problamatic areas (the entire front end & drivers door) with the help of his dad & uncle.





Doug is so talented & quite the Mr. Fix it. I'm very proud of his hard work & can't wait to drive it!
