For Christmas this year, Rich said I would be getting my present upon my return. He told me to dress warmly and gave me the location.
I arrived to find this:
What is it?
....A giant igloo, that Rich made:
Inside you can see there is a table. The table is a kotatsu, or heated table and is connected to an extension wire that runs into the house. That made it quite cozy, despite the cold temperature.
I was so incredibly surprised. From inside the snow he pulled out a bottle of champagne:
And then gave me my first gift, which is the framed picture in the background by all the candles. Its one I saw in a shop in a nearby town, which he convinced the owner to give him!
Rich recruited his friend Brian to help out by delivering the food [a hot japanese veggie soup called nabe, which was incredibly delicious] and presents at key times:
I had mentioned that jewelery was a great idea for a gift... and I got hand-made light saber earrings! There is a set of blue and a set of red, for days when I feel like the dark side.
All-in-all, a fantastic present and so sweet.
