Surprise Anniversary Night!
I did it! I successfully pulled off a surprise night for Jonathan! :)
That is all clean laundry. It got completely out of control. So I drafted 2 little helpers to help me in my dilema.
They actually helped a lot, and all it cost me was some macaroni and cheese and belgian chocolate.
The rest of the day was a blur of activity, trying to get everything together for my special surprise. Getting stuff hidden in the car, getting everything straight with Ry and Tiff, getting all of Lyric's things together, all without Jon seeing me.
Finally, at 4:45, I come in in a new dress and he looks up surprised. I then toss him a new polo shirt and he asks when I got it for him. I told him a few days ago. He asks me why I waited so long to show him and I told him I wanted him to wear it tonight. He was like cool. So I told him, well put it on now, because we are leaving in 15 minutes. He was really confused, but we dropped Lyric off and then I drove to Truluck's where we had dinner.
Here we are outside
And me in my cute new dress:

My yummy crab legs:
John's Red Snapper (his was SO delicious)
I had told him I just wanted to surprise him with a great anniversary dinner and he was so excited. I told him I wanted to go see a movie later and so after we finished our dinner, he grabbed his phone to look at movie times, and so I handed him a card.
In the anniversary card, I informed him that we were going to the John Mayer concert that night.
He was SHOCKED! He is a huge John Mayer fan, but thought the concert was the first week of September, so he was not expecting it one bit. He kept thinking I was lying.
Then we get to the concert venue and get in line to pick up our will call tickets. Jon hands them the credit card so they can swipe it and pull our tickets and BAM, the power in the ENTIRE venue goes out. So we sit there for an hour and 15 minutes till the power comes back on. It was no fun:
Well we finally get in, and of course the concert hadn't started because all the power was out. So at least we didn't miss anything.
The concert was amazing, some guy opened, then Colbie Caillat, then John Mayer. He shaved his head, and didn't wear a shirt the whole time.
He is such an amazing musician. It was an awesome concert!
We were on the lawn, but had a pretty good location, and I brought a pillow and a blanket, so I was comfortable the entire time. Here we are during the show
Here are some crappy concert shots:
And finally, this is how I rock:
The reason this is a feat, is because I get too excited about things and end up telling the surprise, but this time, I did really well! :)
