My Husband Bought Me A....

Garmin Forerunner 305!!! Yep, you read that right! Let me tell ya about the surprise...

As ya'll know, I have a NikePlus and recently asked hubs if I could borrow is Garmin 305 for the upcoming 5k...

Well, he knew that I secretly wanted one, but wouldn't admit to it. My NikePlus works great and I saw no need in spending $180 on myself a new watch, when mine worked just fine. Besides, I could just borrow his - is what I kept telling myself...

Well, he sent me a text this afternoon letting me know that they were having a problem at work and wouldn't be home till later than usual. Nothing new, this happens a lot and to be honest, I was napping on the couch... Well, later on, I sent him a text asking if I should go ahead and eat dinner. He said yes. So, I ate dinner and watched a little tv.

He came home right around 7pm and pulled the Garmin out from behind his back! I flipped out!! LOL He said he left work at 4:45ish and went to our Best Buy. They didn't have the watch. So, he drove to the Shackelford Best Buy ( a good 40 min drive ) and they didn't have the 305, but had the 405. He knew I'd pitch a fit if he bought the 405 since it's so expensive. So, he had the store call the Benton Best Buy ( another 25 - 30 min drive ) and they had one left. He had them set it back and then he drove to Benton! How sweet is that?!

I can't tell you how excited and happy I am! I have the best husband! He knew I secretly wanted it, but wouldn't spend the money - so he bought it for me as a surprise!!!! Awww!!

Don't worry, it's charging up right now for tomorrow's run! And the name? It's name is Happy. Because that's what I am!!

Awww! That is so sweet. Girl, you will LOVE it. It does spoil you quickly. I have had mine for 1.5 years. Coincidentally, tonight I forgot mine when I went to run. Now, I don't know how far I'm running, I don't know my pace, it's awful to forget it. Good Luck!
