Heads Or Tails Tuesday!

It is time once again for Heads or Tails Tuesday!

This week's theme is HEADS: Surprise.

Here is a list of my favorite surprises:
  • For my 18th birthday, my best friends threw me a SURPRISE party! They really pulled one over on me.
  • I also SURPRISED my parents that day with one of my very few acts of rebellion as a teenager: I had my ears pierced for the second time without asking. I know! What a rebel I was!
  • I was shocked and happily SURPRISED to get an offer at the same company my sister worked the January before college graduation. It was the only place I wanted to work and the only company I interviewed with. That made my last semester fun!
  • I was SURPRISED that I met my future husband in a garage! You just never know where you will find Mr. Right! (This was literally a garage at a friend's house!)
  • My husband (boyfriend at the time) SURPRISED me once with a weekend camping get-away. He told me to pack my bags, bring my swimsuit, and come on over to his place. He had all of the food and necessities packed up and ready to go! He really put a lot of thought into that trip, and I have never forgotten!
  • I was SURPRISED when my husband popped the question! We had been dating for three years and we had shopped for rings, but he still managed to SURPRISE me!
  • I was SURPRISED when I found out that Princess was coming. I thought it would take longer. We were very lucky with all three kiddos.
  • I am SURPRISED every day with what my children can teach me. They laugh so easily and are so enthusiastic!
Happy Heads or Tails Tuesday!

What a fun list of surprises. I know they are all special, but the camping trip sounds especially sweet.

Those are excellent! The surprise camping trip is my favorite just because of the amount of effort involved in preparing. Sounds like much fun!
