Surprises!

I love Fridays! We normally get the grand kids on every other friday and they spend the night, so thats a real treat for us. On this particular Friday we were not going to do anything. It had been such a busy week at work and then I think I had church meetings and things on several evenings that week. So when Friday came, I woke up with a head cold. Then it was an extremely busy day at work, had no time for lunch even. So I was pretty worn. I just wanted to go home get into my PJ's and watch a movie. Well.....that did not happen!

Harold said to me, "why don't you go rest for a little while cause I've made plans to go out" I said "I don't want to go out, I dont feel well and am sooooo tired".
I saw the look of disappointment and he hesitated...

My husband knows I don't like surprises....(he chooses not to believe me cause he loves Surprises and cannot understand that about me).

He had 2 tickets to see Julio Iglesias at the Arena and dinner. O boy! We argued that he should have warned me about it and we went back and forth on going or not going. Well we went afterall....

I chose to feel better and prayed for a burst of energy. When we arrived at the concert we encountered "Latin city" galore. Wow! For those of you that have followed my postings....you know how I feel about White Shoes. Well I am posting an example picture here for you. Lots of white shoes in the arena that day. YUCK!
Sorry if you like white shoes, there are exceptions to the rule but for me the rule is never.

We had a great time. I've always loved Julio Iglesias and his love songs. The concert was good, Julio is still looking handsome and still can sing even though he is older. I sat there and got all teary eyed when he sang songs that reminded me of our courtship years, when we were so young at 17 and 19. Where did the years go....

This was one good surprise! My hubby was so proud of himself afterwards. He did good!

Why you ask I don't like surprises? Well most of the time they are disappointing. Its not really what you wanted or you are mostly caught off guard and can hurt someone's feelings if you don't respond the way that they have envisioned it.

This Surprise was a surprise to me!
