So today is opening night for the NFL Season. Marc has been waiting all year for football to start again! But this year he has an extra special reason. 
So here’s the story….
Two months ago I decided that I was going to surprise Marc with an HD TV for his birthday. Well, his birthday is in November, so I figured I have 4 months to save up and it would be plenty of time. With all of the photography work I’ve had lately (wow, weddings every weekend all summer, working with 6 different area photographers!) I was saving much faster than I thought I could! So I decided that he would be so much more excited and surprised to have it before football season! Well all of the plans were in place for last friday….with the help and hard work of our good friend Chris and another friend, Ron, along with both of Marc’s brothers…we pulled it off! I got out of work early for the holiday weekend and so did Chris, so we all got the old entertainment center torn down and a new one put up along with the TV installed….ALL before Marc was home from work! We even finished early and sat patiently waiting for his arrival home.
When Marc got home from work, Chris, Brett, Jon and I were downstairs waiting for him. He came downstairs and realized that his brothers were here – which seemed odd – and then he saw it – a brand new 42″ LCD HDTV sitting on a brand new entertainment center, where his old TV used to sit. (Bonus – we had one of his Xbox 360 games playing on it for him to see the awesome picture quality!)
“What the [insert explicitive here LOL] is THAT?! Where did it come from?!! WHO’s is it?!! OMG! “
ROFL! Who’s is it? Well, dear, to be honest we borrowed it and it has to go back tomorrow…hahaha. (Kidding of course!) He was completely shocked and very excited! So opening night football is extra special – in Hi Def – in our house tonight. It was a lot of work and a collective effort but it was sooo worth it. After seeing me be able to finally buy all of the photography equipment I’ve wanted (and needed!) I felt like it was time to get something for Marc that he’s always wanted. All he’s been sayin all week is “I can’t believe you guys went through so much trouble for ME!”
Who loves ya, babe? That’s right. LOL Now you can play all your Xbox 360 games in Hi Def, and watch football too. (Oh boy….what was I thinking?! Kidding! haha)
Below are a couple of pics of the new system. (Hello?! Can’t have a post without pics, can we? 
BTW – Thanks Chris, Ron, Jon & Brett for all your help!!!! Couldn’t have done it without you!!
