Last Christmas, Julie, my best friend since high school and soon-to-be maid of honor, said she had a present for me, but that she couldn't give it to me yet. Hmmm... interesting. 6 months passed and she appeared for our breakfast at Perkins with a "have a Merry Christmas bag!" Then, she said, "this is your present, but it's not."
After all the mystery, I thought, this better be good. ;)
She bought me a book of my blog - 365 Days of Unexpected Delights, which finished in May. It is pretty much the best gift I've ever received. It got here last week. Here's some pictures:

It's a BIG BOOK. I've barely read any of it, and it's hard to remember what I wrote an entire YEAR ago. My dad has actually been reading the book in order, and he'll laugh at things or comment, and I have to remind him that I don't remember sometimes. Or, he'll start reading it out loud. Maybe I'll get to read it someday... haha.
Anyway, Julie, I'm thrilled and I love having it all in a hard copy! My grandparents won't bug me anymore to print the entire thing out. Plus, I put in my Europe pictures, and they came out stunning.
Presents like these are so unique. THANK YOU! I can only hope that my upcoming present for you, Julie, is unique as well... stay tuned... :o)
Happy Fourth of July!
