shopping

so Ian comes to Keene to go shopping for a birthday present for Jahleh. Went to Target first where the selection was not exactly great, Ian's word for it was "tacky", some of it "gaudy". Did not have what he was looking for and he definetly had something in mind, so off we went to TJMaxx to find something else in the jewelry dept. He looked at a few things and "gaudy" was still the main word for it. In the meantime Jahleh and Ben were chomping at the bit because they knew Ian was coming to Keene to go shopping, but not really what for, anyway Jahleh showed up at TJMaxx in the middle of looking the jewelry dept. Ian was set on it being "expensive", Jahleh got told the purpose of the shopping trip, she was quite surprized. Ian has been thinking about this for like 3 weeks and of course the van trip had to be set up which it why it did not happen until now. So in the end she picked out her present, she told him it is often wise to let a women pick out her own present and she picked out a ring. "If that is what you want". He looked at the pricetag after she picked it out and still wasn't impressed but she told him it is not the price, it is the thought and she was just very pleased that he wanted to get her a present. All in all it was a tender moment
Ben just stands by his brother, there is so much love there. It's good for Ben to see Ian do things that are natural.
