Surprise, Surprise!!

I drove up to Story City to surprise Dave this weekend. It was totally a spur of the moment thing. It was not planned at all. Deanna suggested it during the day on Friday when I told her I was leaving work at 3 to avoid over time. I wasn't sold on the idea. 1) because I didn't have anyone to watch my dog and I knew if I went up there Friday night we would probably stay at Dave's, and 2) I wasn't really sure how Dave would react. I figured he would either be really happy, or really annoyed.

I went back and forth and back and forth. Finally at about 4 pm on Friday I decided to do it. So I grabbed some clothes, loaded up Buddy and off we went. I rocked out in the car to my iPod so I wouldn't get to excited on the drive up there. And Deanna kept my company thru email.

We both arrived at her house at 8, we had a beer freshened up and headed up to Alden. The boys had gone to a buddy's house to work on their snowmobiles and were going to go up the town bar to celebrate a friend bday. Deanna made Nick promise not to tell Dave.

So we get to the townie bar, and I didn't even look I didn't want to know where he was, or anything. Deanna walked in and everyone was like "Hey", I walked in, and Dave was like Wait, what are you doing here.

Just a couple of minutes before we had been talking on the phone and he asked me what I was doing. I didn't want to lie to him so I told him I was going out with some friends. I was trying to keep things very vague so he couldn't say I lied, but he asked me for specifics so I had to lie to him. As soon as I got of the phone I told Deanna I felt really bad for lieing to him. Deanna and I were both sure by this point that Dave knew I was on my way up. But everyone swears he had no idea.

So when Dave does see me and it finally sinks in that I am there, he has come over to where he is and gives me a hug in front of everyone. I should mention here HE HATES pda. HATES it. Then he has me sit next to him. I don't think he let me be away from him for more than maybe 15 minutes. Every time I got up and talked to someone he would eventually ask me to come back over by him. And HE offered up a couple of kisses at the bar. More PDA!!!

It was a pretty awesome night. I was so glad I got to surprise him, and I am so glad he enjoyed the surprise. Now I just have to wait 2 weeks to see him again.
