Item #8 Complete

Well it has been 2 weeks since I started my blog and I guess I should give an update.  Believe it or not, I can now cross two items off of my list completely.  Number 8 on my list was to surprise my husband in a big way.  This last Saturday I accomplished just that.  Marcos had to take a 2-day trip out of town for work, so I took advantage of that time to get together a HUGE surprise for him.  What I did was transform our office space into his very own "man cave".  Now he has been talking about having a "man cave" for quite some time, but I don't think it was something that he thought he could have any time soon.  So, I cleaned out any girly items from the office and hung Star Wars movie posters on the walls.  I also bought some glow-in-the-dark star decals to put on the walls to go along with the Star Wars theme.  I also bought a Darth Vader throw and intended to buy a futon using a Groupon that I had, but that didn't happen just yet.  Instead, I put a couple of air matresses together to represent the future futon.  Finally, I traded in my Wii gaming system and bought him a PS3 (something he had REALLY been wanting) and a new 32" HDTV.  Yes, I frantically put together all this in basically a Saturday morning.  Of course he was VERY surprised...then concerned about how much I had spent...then the happy set in and I'm pretty sure he loves it now.  Something told me he wouldn't be too mad about me spending a little on him. He rarely spends money on himself, so I'm glad I was able to do it and surprise him while I was at it. So #8 is officially complete and I have been nominated for wife of the year.

Here are some pics...wish I had gotten his surprise face though:
