Surprise! :)

As the days in my countdown grow smaller and smaller, I start to realize that my time here at home is running out.
T-Minus 9 days.
So this morning, I had this gut feeling that it was just going to be a horrible day. And I hate it when I wake up to those feelings. It just puts me in a bad mood from the start. It probably didn't help that I had to be up at 5am and be at work by 6am this morning. I have never ever EVER been to work that early. Plus, I didn't get off work till 3pm. It was going to be a long day.
A few hours past, and my dad showed up with a coffee for me, because he knows that I'm no morning person and coffee would help with my attitude. ;) As the hours went on, it only got better and better. Working in the evenings at the gym, you get all the grumpy people just getting off work. Working in the mornings, everyone is still in a really good mood and all happy. The hours ticked by faster then I expected and I was soon off from work, headed home to go get ready to get family pictures taken. The picture people were about an hour behind, causing everyone to be grumpy. I just wanted to be done so I could go home.
Then it happened.....

My brothers tackled me as my dad blindfolded me and led me outside where I was then put inside a car. I had no idea who I was with or where I was going! The car kept driving around, making two stops and picking people up. I thought I had a pretty good idea of where I was but where we were going and what was happening was a different story. The car finally stopped, I was led inside, sat down and the blindfold was taken off. Four of my best friends (Katie, Amanda, Ashley and Erin) had planned a surprise going away dinner for us since Erin was leaving this Thursday and I leave in a week. The Red Robing staff then assumed it was my birthday, sang to me and I got free ice cream. Let's just say our waitress was pretty boss. The activities following dinner included drawing pictures with sidewalk chalk outside some of our friends homes, drawing on their cars, and creeping on them during their bonfire.

So after all, my day turned out being quite good and my gut was wrong. :) I love my friends.
