Surprise!!

While Max and I were out of town, Jeff was holding down the fort. He told me that he had some surprises for me when I got back. I asked, "Good surprises or bad?" He told me that the good would outweigh the bad. I was disappointed that our schedules never seemed to match up so that he could Skype with us, but I soon found out the reason why!

I was surprised in the airport with this:

My sneaky husband had grown a BEARD in our absence! Now I have to admit that I am just not a facial hair kind of girl. I admit that it can look good, but I don't want to have to feel it when I kiss my husband! Max, however, does not seem to have a problem with it at all! At home, Jeff provided the evening's entertainment by shaving it off in stages and posing and taking pictures of each one. We were dying. Enjoy the progression:

I do have to say that he was true to his word. The good surprises did outweigh the bad. He had picked up my favorite Thai food for dinner, cleaned the entire apartment (and vacuumed), had roses on the table and had picked out and wrapped two little gifts. Max and I were sure happy to be home!
