I couldn't be happier

I just wanted to post and declare to the world that Chris is about the nicest person in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!! He "owed" me a surprise (sometimes when we play games, we'll say, "Okay, if I win, you'll pay for a movie," or something. I owe him a ticket to see a show). I said it didn't have to be big, just something I'd like. It could have been anything; have a picnic, plan a fun day, a card he made, etc. I wasn't going to be picky. Just wanting a surprise.

I got it. Today. I'm still thrilled!!!!!!!

He got me something I've been drooling over for several months anytime I went to Borders in Carson (because why go to Borders in Reno? There's a Barnes and Noble, which I infinitely prefer!). Are you ready for this? Okay, here was my surprise: A complete set of an unabriged reading of The Chronicles of Narnia books--all 7 of them! Plus, they're read by amazing performers! Check this out: The Magician's Nephew performed by Kenneth Branaugh, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe performed by Michael York, The Horse and His Boy performed by Alex Jennings (who I saw as Professor Higgens in My Fair Lady in London and was AMAZING!!!!!!!!), Prince Caspian performed by Lynn Redgrave, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader performed by Derek Jacobi, The Silver Chair performed by Jeremy Northam, and The Last Battle performed by Patrick Stewart. I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I began listening to The Magician's Nephew on my way to Dayton this morning, and am at the point about where Digory is about to follow Polly with the rings.

See why Chris is my favorite right now? I hope he got a good deal on them. I know that the cost is much cheaper than what it could be (it says so on the box), but I still hope he got a good deal on them.

Talk about a surprise! I like his surprises.

Oh, and if you're in the area, go see his production of The Last Five Years at the BAC. The music of this show is phenomenal (Even if you don't live around here, pick up a CD. Jason Robert Brown is such an incredible composer!). Yes this is a shameless plug, but I know the show's incredible, Andie and Josh are gifted, and Chris directed and produced it. Plus, it's helping to raise money for the BAC, so they can put on more great theatre, concerts, art exhibits, etc.

The title comes from the song "Thank Goodness" from Wicked.
