Second Birthday

Here is a fact that you might need to learn about me, one that Richard has already had to learn many times. You can't surprise me! I'm way too curious for my own good and somehow I always ruin surprises without even realizing what I am doing. I even ruined Richard's proposal because I knew he was going to do it and 10 seconds after he had proposed I couldn't keep it in any longer and I blurted out, "I knew you were going to propose today!" and totally popped his secret romantic bubble, as Richard puts it!

So anyway, Richard tried once again to be a sweet thoughtful husband and surprise me with a second birthday, since the first one didn't work out as well as he wanted it to. I have had scones for breakfast on my birthday for a very long time and I was disappointed that I didn't have them this year (Richard goes to work at 7 and I'm not even up by then so it wouldn't have worked). But Richard doesn't work on Fridays and since yesterday was the 5th, exactly a month after my bday, he decided he was going to make me scones and give me a 2nd bday. Unfortunately, he had to get them the night before but we were at his brother's until late and he had to take me with him to the store. He said, let me just run in and grab something. I kept asking him about it, wondering what he could be getting that I shouldn't know about until finally he said something like, Kelli please stop asking or you'll ruin the surprise.

Just like my mind usually does, it immediately went a million miles a minute trying to figure out what he could be getting at the grocery store that would be a good surprise for me and I thought it might be scones. But I made the mistake of saying, Ok fine I'll stay in the car while you go get them..... Richard knew right then that I knew what was going on and that I had guessed yet another surprise. I felt bad....but was very excited to get my scones!
He woke up very early and made me a delicious breakfast. Then he made a great dinner and had candles burning and music playing when I got home from work. Then we went and saw a play at BYU, which I also guessed we were going to, and had a blast there. Then we came home and watched a movie and had root beer floats. It was an AMAZING 2nd birthday and I'm so glad I have a sweet husband who went to all that work for me! Even if I always ruin it :)

Eating my delicious dinner!

Sorry Richard - but this post is HILARIOUS!!! I'm the exact same way Kel. Although I DO keep it inside. (There are still several that Tony doesn't know about that I knew!! :) That's why he's thrilled cause for the first time he has something planned and I don't know what it is. Maybe cause I'm so stressed. Just tell Richard to get you more stressed so you won't guess it. ha ha Happy Second BDAY!!
