Surprise!

I woke up to the sound of wrapping paper wrinkling.  I remember not being very excited about Christmas my sophomore year.  I wasn't very excited to open presents at 5:30 in the morning.  I got through all of my presents and I'm not going to lie, I was kind of disappointed.  Basically, I'd only opened clothes and a digital camera to replace the broken one I already had.  My parents surprised me by bringing out a huge box labeled "To Steph and Lauren" in big red letters.  We tore open the wrapping paper and the tons of boxes, and finally got to see our new present.  It was a brand new laptop. I screamed because I was so happy to actually have something to call my own.  The computer we had at the time was super outdated.  It was the best present I'd ever received because it was probably the most expensive.  It was the first time I actually felt like I had privacy.  I didn't even ask for a laptop, and it ended up being the perfect present for me. :)
