Wow, that's an amazing amount of trust and it's cool to hear how well it's turned out!
Ever had a partner buy something without telling you?
Not quite. However, I did buy our house without hubby seeing the inside first. He was happy it had a big kitchen and a fenced backyard. It sure made move in day interesting as all he had to work off of at first was a hand-drawn floor plan. That was in '89 and we're still here. He must like it. ;~D
