Okay.. wow. Since we've been married, over 11 years now.. I have longed for a Kitchenaid stand mixer. Every birthday, mother's day, Christmas.. I would ask for one, knowing that it was a tad expensive, but worth a shot.. lol. I was supposed to get my grandmother's, but long story... it got sold at a garage sale.
Annyyyywwwaaaayyyyss..... today, the boys and I went up to the airport to pick Eric up from work. He said he needed to go to Canadian Tire to pick up a few things. While making a small return at the Customer Service desk, he asked me, "What colour do you like?" Not knowing what he was referring to, I said "Bluish-Green".
Fast forward a few minutes and we're walking down the isle and he pushes the cart up beside a display of Kitchenaid mixers! He had been waiting for a decent price on the 475 watt professional series with the bowl-lift.. and needless to say, I am now the proud owner of this!!!

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!? LOL.. I think I'm in loooovvve *swwooon* Christmas baking is going to be SO much better this year!!!
Anyways, I had to share.. off to play now :)
