Greatest Valentine's Day Gift EVER

Leading up to the big day, my wife had mentioned that she got me a V-Day present that will actually cover our anniversary and my birthday in the process.  I tried to think of more expensive items that I had mentioned wanting and the only one I could really think of was the Tritton 5.1 surround sound headsets.  Those are pricey, but not really three gift-giving occasions pricey.  So, I thought she might have gotten me a PS3, but I don't know if I have shared my growing interest in getting a PS 3 with her other than maybe an off-handed mention.  Also, my wife tends to know better than to get me any sort of electronics as a gift without getting the exact make and model number of what I want.

So, last night, she handed me my gift.  It was too small to be a PS3.  It was too light to be the Trittons.  So I started opening it.  Couple of Reese's PB Hearts (a Valentine favorite of mine), a pair of Atlanta Braves boxers, and a little container that looked like the containers that the McDonald's apple pies come in.  I opened up this container and it was full of a bunch of folded up papers.  Here is what the papers said though:  April 18, 2008, I will be in Atlanta with my wife, sitting directly behind home plate (18th row up) watching the Braves play the Los Angles Dodgers. 

Now, this may not seem like much of a big deal to some, but we live in Amarillo, Texas, so there is a damn expensive flight and hotel involved.  Plus, I have been a die-hard Braves fan since 1982, yet I have never seen them play in Atlanta.  In fact, I have never been to the state of Georgia.  I frequently get asked how I became a Braves fan when I am not from Georgia  and my answer is always the same: I have always loved baseball, was born and raised in Oklahoma (no professional team within 300 miles), but I had cable (so could follow the Braves on TBS).  To give you an idea of my devotion, check out the following pics:

The guest bed is in my room.  The comforter is actually a Braves comforter, but we keep it covered so the dog doesn't get hair all over it.

My wife and I went to Disneyworld for our honeymoon.  That isn't unusual, but what makes it relevant here is that we scheduled our wedding so that we could see the Braves play a spring training game while we were on our honeymoon (the Braves spring training facility is in the Wide World of Sports portion of Disneyworld).

Anyway, without belaboring the point further, I could not be more happy about my Valentine's Day present.  w00t.
