Surprise Killer

I learned something new about myself this weekend...I am a surprise killer. Joel tried to surprise me twice and I ruined it!

Surprise #1

I had mentioned to Joel in passing that we should go to the Navy festival on the weekend because Chris Sligh from American Idol would be playing. I didn't watch AI consistently that season but I thought that Chris Sligh was pretty cool! So on
Friday night the day before the festival Joel and I went out to see a movie and after that Joel said that he had a surprise for me. I tried to guess what it was but he wouldn't budge...I couldn't get any info out of him. As we entered the Navy base I thought to myself, what can the surprise possibly be? We got to the building and a greeter asked if we were there for the VIP event (still no clue what it could possibly be). We walked in and it was just a bunch of people sitting around eating appetizers...then I look over and I saw Chris Sligh there chatting and taking pics with people. It turned out to be a meet and greet with Chris Sligh. It was so thoughtful of Joel to bring me to this event but I was hardly a fan of Chris Sligh I didn't know much about him...I just thought that it would have been cool to see him in concert (post American Idol). Plus I've never been one to be a fan of anyone...and I never really cared when I saw famous people...it doesn't phase me. I am also not one to randomly chat with people...it makes me anxious. I felt bad because Joel totally thought that I was a big fan of Chris Sligh...he didn't realize that I wasn't so much. I should have taken a pic and chatted with Chris Sligh so Joel wouldn't think that his surprise was a big failure...but I couldn't bring myself to do it! I AM a horrible surprise killer!

Surprise # 2

I had a horrible UTI (hopefully that's not too much info) and I was up until 4 in the morning. I slept in pretty late. I got up, opened the door, and saw Joel preparing breakfast for me (which was supposed to be a surprise)...he said "you get back in there right now"...I did so he could officially bring me breakfast in bed. He also bought me a dozen roses and an eye mask so I could sleep better.

Joel is so cute...I am so blessed to have a husband who wants to surprise me...I just have to stop being such a surprise killer!
