Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Sadly one of the gifts I bought for Matt's birthday was due to arrive a few days late. I was excited about it and eager to give it to him, but it was hard to be sure if it would suit him.

When I opened the door to go out for exercise on Monday (3 days after his birthday), the package had arrived without me knowing it. In order to avoid delay I dragged the huge box into the house and stowed it in the side of our coat closet. Matt would arrive home before I returned, so I had to put it out of sight.

Out of sight, out of mind. By the time I arrived home, I'd totally forgotten about his gift! It worked out rather well in the end. I managed to take it out of the box, look it over and hide it until a good time to give it to him. Since we had game night Tuesday (playing with one of Matt's birthday presents), it worked out well to surprise him with his gift right before we began playing.

It seems he loved it! This is what I got him:

He mentioned it would be nice to have a new golf bag, but I picked a K-State one :)
