It's a Girl!

Yesterday was a AWESOME day! My parents got a great deal on a new Big Baby Taylor and bought it for me! ME! They didn't have to do that, but they did and I love them even more for it!
You see the story goes;
On my Dad's 2ND deployment he bought a Big Baby Taylor (guitar) to take with him to the desert so he didn't have to ship his other guitars there. Well he ended up staying in the states, and his Big baby Taylor ended up fitting me just right. And since I was picking up the guitar again he sent it home with me to practice well knowing that if I didn't play it, it would be returned. Well I played it, I adopted that guitar, my Dad even wrote a song about all his guitars and he says "my daughter Carrie plays my Big Baby Taylor!" . Finally he just started calling it my guitar, and then he was called up to go to Iraq again. So he sadly told me that he needed to take it with him. I was of course crushed but knew it was his guitar and needed to go serve it's purpose. It's not that he left me empty handed by any means, he left me with his Martin. Amazing guitar, just big. You see my strummin arm goes numb after about 10 mins of playing. But yesterday everything changed. My mom told me that I needed to come to her house between 3:30 and 4:00 for a secret surprise. We were running late and I texted her with approximate time of arrival. It turned out that her "appointment" was late as well so we beat her "appointment" there. We sat and I fidgeted until she finally told me the secret surprise.
I WAS SO EXCITED!!!!!
So then I had to sit and fidget until the woman finally called to bring it over!
She's a beaut! I don't know if I'm going to name her yet but I have decided...it's a girl!
