For the last few weeks, Levi has been gushing about how AWESOME my Christmas present was going to be. I begged for hints, secretly not wanting them but hoping for tiny hints....he didn't & wouldn't budge! Every day, for two weeks, I would get a daily count down. It was like throwing salt on a wound! A couple days before Christmas, I started to get worried that my enthusiasm wouldn't match his enthusiasm. I didn't want him to think that I didn't appreciate his gift, but I was nervous over his excitement. He gave me two gifts, one that I could open with my family, then one that I would open at his place. With a box of chocolate turtles, I received a 32gb memory card. I wasn't exactly sure what it could be for, so I kept an open mind.
I was handed a small, yet heavy gift box, at his place. I opened all of his family's gifts first, and kept his last. I was nervous. As I ripped the wrapping paper, I saw in bright red letters the word, "REBEL"...then I knew....
I immediately started crying. How in the world could someone be this giving?? I just couldn't believe it!! I wasn't expecting anything like this, AT ALL!! Part of me was thinking it was going to be a tablet, but man, I was totally blown away. I just (and still can't) believe it. I've been wanting a new camera for a while and just haven't made it a priority.
Later that night, we went to Coronado and I started to put my Rebel to use....
I couldn't be more grateful for Levi being so understanding of my love of photography. Ever since our 2nd date, he's been totally supportive of me always bring along my camera to take photos of our dates and adventures. My heart is so full love and adoration for this sincerely thoughtful gift. I don't know if I could ever adequately express my appreciation for this gift. I feel like I can explore my talent of photography again and I couldn't be more thankful.
Thank you Levi for giving me the tools to express myself artistically again. I love you so much.
