SURPRISE!

A month's worth of planning culminated in one happy ending, well, not a true happy ending, which I wanted to give but I was too tired. Sorry excuse of a good girlfriend that I am.

The worst part of the whole thing is that I couldn't tell my love what I was up to. Duh, that is the whole point of a surprise, but there were certain happenings that I wanted to share when they occurred. I realized then that I tell him almost everything. So he would ask, 'what did you do today?' 'uh, nothing'. I hate lying.

BUT, I had so much fun planning for him. I couldn't wait to see (well, hoped for) the smile on his face. There were a few obstacles. A few times when I thought all I had done up to that point was for nothing, even up to that day. But it went down and the smile was there and that made everything SO worth it all.

Some people don't take surprises well. I wasn't sure if he would be that type, I was nervous, but he smiled. It seemed genuine. I needed to keep checking, to make sure it wasn't just for the audience.

I love him. I wanted to do more. He does so much for every one in his life. I just wanted his day to be one big continuous smile. There were a few frowns, hopefully the smiles outweighed them.

The worst part was having to get up in the middle of the night, the best part of waking up is waking up next to him.
