Giddy As A School Boy

Devin is a pretty happy fellow. That is one thing I love about him. He really doesn't get upset or angry. He's just a happy-go-lucky guy. So my daily quest as his wife is to try and find things that make him really happy. Christmas was hard. I'd ask him what he wanted and he would just smile and say, "I don't know, I'm just fine." AH! That makes it so hard! Shopping for content people is SO difficult. Well, I had a bolt of inspiration one night. We were over at my mom's house and Devin was playing some Christmas songs on her piano. Ah ha! I thought I'd get him a piano book of Christmas songs. I did, he loved it. He took his book over to my mom's house on Christmas and just played and played. It was then that I realized that something had to be done. The following evening as we were loading up to go look at Christmas lights as a family, I asked my little brother if we could take a small detour to our house. My mom months ago told me that we could have the small electric piano that she wasn't using. Before now, we just never had the time or means to do anything about it. Peter said sure he'd love to help. They took it apart, put it in the back of the suburban, and long story short, we now have a piano in our house. Devin is SO happy! He sat right down and just played and played. I'm glad I found something that makes him giddy as a school boy.
Oh, and I love playing it too. :)
