Can we please discuss what just came in the mail?

This past Valentine's Day was the first Valentine's Day me and Matt have spent together in four years thanks to training and deployments. Rather than worrying about gifts, we decided our fancy dinner date would just be our gift to each other. After all, as cheesy as it sounds, we were happy just to be together (and we love food, duh).

Well I got home today and found a package on my doorstep. I was kind of mad at first because I knew it was a gift, but then I opened it, and found THIS:

I'm sure 99.9% of you can't identify this band by the picture, but this is a special edition double LP of City and Colour's album Bring Me Your Love. If we had to pick one album to be the soundtrack to our lives, this would be it. And this is the band we snagged tickets to see next month to celebrate my new job.

The fun part about this is that I don't have a record player. I have wanted a record player for a really, REALLY long time. So getting this record leads me to believe that a) there is a record player hiding somewhere in my house right now or b) Matt has a plan to take me shopping for one. I can't reach him right now because he's busy with his students at work, but I cannot wait till he walks in the door tonight to find out his plan (but not before laying a big juicy wet one on him)!! Andddd I can't wait to make over a perfect little table to rest this bad larry on!

Assuming Matt didn't go out and buy a record player without my input - does anyone have record player recommendations?

Aren't husbands just the best!?
