Reason #2,387,462,378 why my boyfriend is amazing

Dec 11, 2009 21:02

Nathaniel and I had talked a considerable amount about what he was getting me for Chanuka, because it was a shirt and he wanted to be sure it was just what I wanted and that it would fit me, and because I hate surprises. I ordered a Chanuka present for him online a little while back, to try and make sure it would get there by today, and tried to decide whether I'd open his present as soon as it arrived or wait until the final night of Chanuka, as is customary when you receive only one gift from someone.

Today Nathaniel IM'd me to say good night, and asked if the package he'd sent had arrived yet. I said it hadn't, and he asked if I was sure, since it would be sitting on the front porch and wouldn't have come in through the mail slot. I had checked when the post arrived today and it wasn't there, but I went down to check again - and there it was! I swear he's psychic. It was quite a heavy box, which had me curious as I was only expecting a shirt. I brought it up and Nathaniel stayed online while I opened it.

This incredibly sweet, thoughtful, wonderful boy got me eight presents, one for each night, and didn't tell me. His logic was that he knows I hate surprises, so he just didn't tell me I was getting a surprise. Annoyingly, I found this hard to argue with.















I really am the luckiest boy alive - not because I get stuff, but because I have this amazing thoughtful boyfriend who's always thinking of me and doing sweet things for me. I don't know what I did to deserve someone this wonderful, but it must have been something pretty epic.

... oh yeah, also, happy Chanuka to all those celebrating.

nathaniel, my actual life
