So, it's Christmas morning and I am unwrapping gifts with my family and my girlfriend. A particularly large gift box had been sitting under the Christmas for three days, and it was of persistent interest to me not only because its size, nor due to the fact that my name was written on it, but also because of how excited my girlfriend was to see me open it. So excited, in fact, that she made sure that it would be the last thing I would unwrap.

The hype is unbearable, I've exhausted my list of guesses, and now that it's Christmas morning I still have to wait? I can attest now having seen it that it was worth the wait. I eagerly opened the box, and underneath the folds of the box was... a phone book. Hm. Guess it was there as a counterbalance to dissuade any preeminent probing or shaking I may have attempted beforehand. Sneaky. And under that?

Observe:

My girlfriend had spent a total of fourteen months (off and on) designing, cutting and sewing this 5.5 x 6.5 ft (basically, queen-sized) quilt. These were fourteen months during which I had no frikkin' clue of what was going on under my nose and behind the scenes. To say I did a backflip upon unwrapping it would be an understatement.

I love my girlfriend.
