On our anniversary this year she bought me the guitar of my dreams. a cherry burst Gibson SG Standard just like Duane Allman played. I play slide guitar in a local blues band and she made my year with that.
WE both celebrated our Birthdays last night at a big party with me playing my new guitar. When it came time for gifts, she gave me the key to a 2012 Vivid Black Road Glide Ultra, 103, ABS and the works! I had been looking at it for a few months, and now Tuesday I ride up on my 08 FLHTCU, and home on my new bike. This woman is a keeper all the way, and I am indeed a lucky man to have her. Just thought I'd share the good news with you guys.
Bro, you are abundantly lucky. I've been married for 20 years and late last year found out that during the many years I spent trying to pay off our family debt and set some money aside for an SG my wife was wrecklessly spending us into 80k worth of additional debt. We had a celebration last year when I finally paid off the house and -thought- we were totally out of debt, oh what a fool I was. My bday gifts consist of me buying something for myself and giving it to my wife to wrap for me. I'm only in it for the long haul for the sake of our kids. Glad to hear someone out there has such a great thing going, and that you appreciate it too, congrats!

It's nice to hear about another guy as lucky as I am as far as having a wife who is understanding about our need for toys!
