Christmas comes early...

Jared will be getting one of his Christmas gift, this Sunday. I bought him tickets to see Dr. Seuss: How The Grinch Stole Christmas at the Pantages Theater in L.A.. I know, it's not Sunday yet, so why am I posting about it now? Trust me, I wouldn't if Jared didn't know about the gift. But unfortunately he does.
As most of you know, Jared works every other weekend. This weekend is his turn to work. However, at the beginning of the week, he informed me that he would be getting Sunday off, since he traded shifts with one of his co-workers. Apparently, this coming Monday is his co-workers' daughters birthday. And naturally she wanted to spend her day with her child. Perfect, everything was working out in my favor, since I found these amazingly cheap tickets, yet great seats as well, on Goldstar, and therefore was able to purchase them. My goal was to surprise Jared with them. Little did I know, that Jared's supervisor hadn't approved the switch yet ~ something Jared also neglected to tell me. Ugh men! Always leaving out the important information! So, this afternoon, he calls me up to tell that he didn't get Sunday off after all. Of course, I'm freaking out. Ok, to be honest, I was a little pissed, since I was under the assumption that the switch was already approved by his supervisor. Not to mention, that I wasn't able to return the tickets nor would I be able to change the ticket dates on them. I was steamed for quite a bit, so I told Jared that I was going to give him part 1 of his Christmas gift on Sunday ~ the tickets to see the Grinch, which my sister would be enjoying with me instead of him. Of course, he was bummed. But there was nothing I could do about it. Jared shouldn't have forgotten to tell me, that they will still waiting on approval.
In the end though, everything worked out. Once Jared got to work this evening, his supervisor mentioned that another co-worker would  be able to come in as well.  Yeah, now, we're able to enjoy the musical together after all.

 

 

On another note, Jared passed he DEA panel interview, which mean he moves on to the next phase. The up coming phase is the medical and physical fitness examination, then the lie dectector and psych evaluation. Woohoo, these next steps shouldn't be too hard, since Jared his physical fit as it is. Oh, I also posted  a new post on my photography blog. So mosey on over to the other blog.

Delightfully,

Nina
