I think I've come to terms with the fact that I have the coolest wife in existence! Or, at least, a very tolerant one She text me from work about, paraphrasing here seeing as I don't have the texts anymore, "I got a surprise for you. I'm planning something just for you." She likes to drop me these little hints from time to time to tease the living crap out of my little brain about things she gets me or things she's going to do for me. The hints are usually very vague and are truthful about the object, but say absolutely nothing about it.

(ie. For our wedding anniversary recently, she bought me beautiful personalized picture frame with our wedding photo in it. The hints about it before hand were, "It's mostly silver coloured." and, "You could place it next to your computer." and stuff like that. Get the picture?)

... ok, went sorta off topic...

ANYWAY, so she starts teasing me that she's going to do something just for me that takes place around the 4th of July. There's only one thing I could think of that happens around that time, and that's AC, but I didn't think that could be it. See, she's not exactly what one would call a fan of furry artwork. She likes it that I like it, and that's as far as it goes. I've even stopped drawing her as a furre, just to respect her and not force my hobbies on her. So, I reply with, "The only thing I can think of is AC."

"Why's that?" she asks.

"Well, it's the only thing that happens around that time of year that is of any interest to me."

"Well, I'll give you one more hint," she says, "It involves aliens."

I had no idea where she was going with this, I thought she was being vague again. Maybe a new game is coming out that I overlooked the release date for that had to do with aliens, like the new AvP game (though that's a ways off). Idly, as my mind was on thoughts of AC and went to the website to see the nice big banner of this years theme, "OMG Aliens!" and lo-and-behold, she was planning on surprising me with a day at AC!

Long winded way of explaining that I'll be going to AC this year. It's just for a day, but at least I'm getting to go again. Had to skip last year. I think we've pretty much settled on the 4th, saturday. Not 100% positive. Anyone else out there going that would care to meet up, let me know. We'll figure out a way of contacting each other and setting something up.

Later! *peace sign*
