One thing Calvin knows well about me is that I don't particularly like surprises. I can't wait to find out how a film or book ends so I don't mind spoilers, in fact sometimes I enjoy the experience more if I know the ending going into it. So Calvin spilled the beans on the birthday gifts he ordered for me. One of them is a book called "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin. I am SOOO excited to read it. A book that excites you is one of the most wonderful pleasures in life as far as I am concerned. I particularly enjoy memoirs and although I hate to admit it, I also love me a good self help book. This one seems to combine both genres and I'm really excited about getting into.
Here is a clip of the author talking about her project:
The other gift is a copy of Bon Iver's album: For Emma, Forever ago. I got teary eyed over this one because I adore this album and he knows because I used to listen to Nita and Andy's copy of it on repeat constantly. Calvin had quite a good little record collection when we got married. He ordered this album for me on vinyl so that his collection can become our collection. Dreamy, right?
