entry 10 Here Comes the Boom

Howdy MY readers
Have you ever worked so hard to keep a surprise and then ruin it yourself? That's how my weekend went. My fiancés birthday was on Sunday so I wanted to make the whole weekend a celebration. I had been planning all month to make her birthday extremely special. I had things for her to do Friday and Saturday during the day but I was most excited to give her the surprise Saturday night. I had planned with all her friends to meet us for dinner Saturday night in Scottsdale. Everything was going smooth and I had kept a pretty good poker face all day until I made an epic mistake. When it was time to go to the restaurant, I lost my cool factor and in a way spilled the beans. As we walked in and headed to the hostess desk I looked over and saw that not all of our friends had showed up yet. I then blurted out, "actually we will be back we are gonna go on a walk". As I looked at my very smart and clever fiancés face I instantly knew she was not fooled. She let me play it cool as we walked out of the restaurant but as we headed down the street she cracked a smile and said, " so how long do we need to stall until our friends show up so I can eat?" Luckily Karlie made a whole joke out of the thing and helped window browse with me to stall time. I was so upset because I worked so hard to keep it a secret for weeks and as it was finally unraveling, I ruined it. After our fake stalling was over we headed to the restaurant and met our friends for dinner, I had to admit to everyone I dropped the ball, but I was okay with that. As long as Karlie was happy and enjoying her time I was happy and enjoying my time....and trying to forget about my failed attempt. Once the birthday weekend was over I was sadly relieved. I love doing things for Karlie but it sure feels good when I don't have to keep secrets.
