Surprise!
Well, I’ve been fooled. I really have. And I’m hard to trick. All the signs were there…
1) I found a jar in a cabinet with cash in it. Rodney had hidden some money so I wouldn’t see any purchases from our bank account. But what did I do when I saw a jar full of cash in a cabinet? Nothing, I just closed the door and never thought twice about it.
2) Then he started cleaning the whole house, which was odd because I know he vacuumed earlier in the week, and I think he did it last weekend too. Hmmm…
3) Then he said he had to take the plastics to the recycling center. He sure was gone a long time.
4) Oh, and then he put clean sheets and pillows on the guest bed, which we never do unless people are coming over. Like a dork, I didn’t even inquire. I just stared at the bed, scratched my head, and went on by.
Rodney had told me we were going out to dinner tonight with some friends. So I was upstairs getting ready when I thought I heard the doorbell ring. But Rodney never yelled for me, which he usually does if we have company. So I went on getting dressed.
I came downstairs and saw one of my friends sitting on the couch. That was odd. Well then I saw birthday candles on the counter, and it all started coming together. Rodney was throwing a surprise party!
Nice job, Rodney. You pulled one over on me, and I had a great time.

It was great to come over and share your surprise! Thanks for the tour and I hate I couldn’t have stayed longer.
SURPRISE! I should have been sitting on that couch….now THAT would have been a surprise.
Surprise! Happy Birthday Nathan!
Glad you had sweet b-days. Hope all is going well with the revers-uncutness. hehehe
I didn’t get my invitation! Oh, wait–must be ’cause I live too many hundreds of miles away…
Anyway–good job, Rodney! Surprise parties are worth many extra bonus points in my book…you are a sweetie.
And you even got Petey to keep it a secret!
