Long story short, approximately 6 months later, with the Canadian's help, we finally had a wii in our hot little hands. NG was completely confused and surprised by the gift.
But what makes the gift even better is the unexpected benefit that I am getting from it. Because NG loves 'relaxing' after work by playing hours and hours of video games, I have been able to read, guilt-free, and still feel as if we are "spending time together."
Ever since I got the wii, I've been able to read 4 books. I love it. Thank you, Wii.
