he got me

o.k. so for those of you that know john, you know that he isn't the best gift giver... until recently. last night, we had a date night, so i suggested that we go to the doghouse grill for dinner because we had a gift certificate. as we were driving up the the restaurant, there was soooo much traffic because there was an awesome christian concert that was taking place across the street at the savemart center. i was really bummed when i saw the sign because mercy me, jeremy camp, addison road and tenth avenue north was playing and i really wanted to go. but, i knew we couldn't because we had three kids to pick up at my in-laws house and mikey had school the next day. when i saw all of the traffic, i suggested that we try somewhere else because there was NO parking and it looked really busy. but, john was so persistent that we eat there, so i just gave in. while we were eating, he kept looking at his phone and disappearing to the bathroom- i just thought it was stomach trouble because he was in there for awhile. after we finished eating i was really ready to go because it was really cold and loud in there, but he had to use the bathroom...again (little did i know that he was on the phone with the friends we were meeting). at this point i was like- o.k. i will meet you at the car. remember, i was cold. when he met me at the car i started it and began backing out of the stall. he stopped me. he said we can't leave because our good friends jeff and melissa were meeting us there and we were all going to the concert!!! i was so confused. he suprised me and what a great suprise it was- sneaky guy. my wonderful in-laws were taking my kids back to our house and putting them to bed for us. we had such a great time at the concert and the bands were all awesome. isn't my hubby sweet!! i think so :) love you john
