Full of Surprises!

Well lately, life has just been chuck full of Surprises!! And let me tell you; I LOVE surprises and these have definitely made it to the top of my list. The first one, Sheldon kinda told me he was going to give me a surprise, but was secretive about when I would get it, how I would get it, and where I would get it. Well, I ended up figuring out that it would be in the mail and was checking the mail 50 times the next day until it got here. I was so excited when I opened the mail and their was a package in the mail box! I started shaking. I opened it up and inside was Sheldon's cologne, that I LOVE the smell of, pens, and a lovely letter. The pens is a thing between me and him. He gave me this pen a while ago and that I use as my journal pen. I recently told him that my pen had run out of ink and I was so sad. Well low and behold, he sent me a package of the pens I like for my journal. At the beginning of the letter he said that while we were camping, I had mentioned that I never get any mail and it makes me sad. He said, I don't like it when your sad because it makes me sad, so I thought I would send you a little something. Isn't that so cute! It was perfect. (THEY ALSO GOT IT ALL ON VIDEO!)

Then later in the week he said I would be getting another surprise, and slipped that it would be when I come home. Tuesday, he asked me what I was doing for the evening, and I said homework. He asked me if I wanted to have a phone date at 8! About 8:30 he called me and asked me what I was doing. I said, "oh I just got out of the shower and am ready for bed." He said, "ready for bed huh, that's soon. Well I decided to give you your surprise in increments. In about 30 seconds a package is going to be at your door." I said, "WHAT!!! Ahh, Sheldon I'm not dressed. Is someone going to be there? Are they going to knock? Do I have to answer it?" He said "Well...I guess you don't have to if you don't want to? He just got the text, he's there, he's there.".... -knock at the door-... I was shaking but answered it....and...GUESS WHAT.....!!!!! It was him, he was my surprise. It took me a few seconds to focus that it was him, but then I flipped out and ran to him. I was so happy, best Surprise EVER! He came up with Mooch, Mike, and Josh.

Well, now it is my turn for the surprises. When I went home for the weekend, Sheldon went to the temple Saturday afternoon and left his car at the Bishop's house. Sheldon always leaves his car unlocked and keys in them, and guess what, I know how to drive stick! (since he taught me) So I went and moved his car and parked in our garage, so he wouldn't flip out when it wasn't there when he got home. I wrote a note on the sidewalk in chalk, and it said, "Missing Something, Visit your favorite Person!" In the meanwhile, we cleaned and vacuumed out his car and I put a picture of me and him at temple on his steering wheel.

Sheldon also let me borrow one of his books about the temple. The author is actually a professor here at BYU-Idaho and he had mentioned that he would like to get his autograph. So I kept the book and brought it up here with me. I got a hold of the Author and met with him and had him sign the book. I also put quite a few pictures of me and Sheldon together in it. He has been asking me for pictures of us for quite a while.

I must say, it is so fun planning and getting surprises and has been very interesting!
