A Risom Rocker from Design Within Reach.
I know you are probably like, uh...ok. At this moment in my life, preparing for the baby is taking number 1 priority. Well, I need a rocker to feed and put the baby to sleep.
He surprised me oh so cleverly, too. I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast (which, btw, has now become a ritual). He was getting things out of his car. He comes in from the dining room and says to me, "Honey, look at all of these magazines you have". There was a stack of magazines I had not read, is what he was referring to. I said, "I know. I need to catch up". He then proceeds to rummage through the stack and tells me, "Oh and look this mail is for you".
I look at the envelope, addressed to me, and saw that it was from Design Within Reach. The night before, coincidentally, we had been looking at the website for rockers. I thought to myself that's weird, we were just looking at the site last night. I look at my name and noticed that the handwriting was familiar. I noticed there was no stamp. Finally a light bulb lit up. *Ding
It was his handwriting, full name and address. I informed him that it was his handwriting. Not looking at me he began to chuckle and told me to just open it. I did and found a sweet card with a picture of the rocker above and the color swatch of the rocker.
Needless to say, I was ecstatic. It was the exact rocker I told him I liked.
Then I realized the price of this rocker. I thought to myself, "Oh, shit. How am I to top this for Father's Day?"
