Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile! I don't have any excuses other that I haven't had anything to blog about and the few times that I have thought about blogging, Mark was out of town and had the laptop.
Mark's most recent trip was to Phoenix, Arizona. He left April 5th and wasn't supposed to get home until April 15th! That is the longest Mark and I have been apart, since we've been married. I hate to say this but I actually did pretty well this time. I only cried once and that was over the weekend that he was gone. Unfortunately I think I'm getting used to Mark traveling so much.
If you know me then you know that I LOVE surprises! I love to surprise people and I love it when people surprise me. Now I'm not talking about jumping out of a closet and yelling SURPRISE and scaring people half to death. I talking about doing something special for someone when they're not expecting it. That is one of the ways that I like to show people that I love and care for them. In return I love it when people do little things for me. This leads me to the great surprise Mark gave me when he got home.
It was Monday night, April 11th and Mark had been gone for 6 days. He mentioned that he could wait to get home and give me his surprise. I started guessing right away what I thought it might be, t-shirt, jewelry, a new food he tried, he said it wasn't any of those. We did this for the next 2 nights and I could never guess it. Then on Thursday night Mark called around 9 o'clock. We made small talk for a little bit, asking each other how our day was and what we were doing. When I asked Mark what he was doing he said he was sitting in the airport waiting to board his flight. To which I said that wasn't funny and it was mean to get my hopes up like that. He said, " You're right babe, I'm sorry. But seriously I'm in Minneapolis and my flight boards in 15 minutes. I'll be home in about 2 1/2 hours." I couldn't believe it, Mark had changed his flight and was coming home an entire day early!!!! This meant so much to me and was one of the best surprises I've ever received. I'm so blessed!
