There's No Surprising Michael

Most of us know that Michael isn't very patient. He will usually force me to open my birthday presents early just so he doesn't have to keep the secret any longer. He asked most people for money for his birthday so he can build a computer when he returns to the U.S. I decided to be a little sneaky and buy him something special. He has been complaining about the state of our shoddy box spring they call a bed here since we arrived five months ago, so I went on an internet quest to find a mattress topper.

I ordered it on GMarket with the help of the director and it came way sooner than the expected 8-12 day delivery. In fact, it came in 3 days. The box was rather large and said mattress on it, so it didn't take much thought for Michael to figure out that I got him a mattress topper for his birthday. Poor guy had to carry home his own birthday present.

We brought the box back to our apartment and Gizmo had a blast with the box and the mattress as it was airing out.

Our new mattress actually benefits both of us and was a joint present from my parents. Thanks mom and dad!
