Amazing!

So I go into the store today to take a picture of the tree so that you all could see it whether the guy buys it or not - and it was gone! He bought it!!! I guess that when Tara told him (I don't even know his name) how much it was, he was a little shocked! He said that if we had time to switch out a few ornaments without making it look "cheap", that would be great, but if we didn't, then he would take it as it is now. Tara even told him that if they wanted us to take some ornaments off of the back if it is going to be against a wall or in a corner, we would. But when his wife came in and saw it with him today Tara said she waved her hands at her eyes and said that she was trying not to cry - she loved it so much! So I guess when he saw her reaction he said "I'll take it. How can I not after I saw her reaction to it?!" Tara even said "Are you sure?" and he said to wrap it up! AMAZING! He spend $1562 on a Christmas tree!!! I hope it got home okay. I guess that they bubble wrapped it and stuck it into the back of an SUV. I can't believe that! The tree probably came apart because it was in segments like fake trees are. They tipped us $40 to get a party tray or something, but Tara gave me 20 of it since I hurt my fingers so bad wrapping those ornaments on! They hurt for 3 days. So that's pretty awesome. I've never been tipped before for doing something for someone. I am all the time putting arangements together for people, and they never tip me! Oh well, I don't expect it. I just like to do it. We may call them and ask him to bring us in a picture of the tree so we can see it in it's home (and I can post it). So that's how the story ends! He bought it! Maybe now I'll go buy some new shoes...just what I need - right honey?!
Mike just told me he'll never buy me a tree for $1500. I told him he doesn't love me enough. :) Then I decided it's probably a good thing because I'd be too picky and would just want to do it myself - because apparently I can!
