A “Friendly” Disney Surprise

If you read my blog post on Friday, you knew I had something up my sleeve…a surprise of sorts.

Here’s the backstory:

Ever since I began running, my husband has been a steady support for me…always there with camera in hand. He’s followed me from the East Coast to the West Coast, sharing our vacations with races. This year, his birthday falls on Thanksgiving Day. I think that birthdays are special and deserve their own special day, so I proposed a plan – part thank you and part happy birthday.

I contacted his friend Randy and together, we devised a plan to get Jason on a plane to Tampa. I told Jason I wanted him along to keep me company at a Nursing Education Conference. I even had a conference itinerary.  Randy told Jason he would meet him on Saturday to fish from a pier in Tampa (so Jason knew what attire to bring with him). Other than those few things, Jason knew nothing about the conference. Neither Randy or I let the cat slip out of the bag (although it almost happened once or twice)!  When we arrived in Tampa and Jason saw Randy, it took him a little while for him to put everything together. Check out the video below!

Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more from Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party to running at the Boardwalk and an evening at the Food & Wine Festival. Have a great day!

Have you ever surprised someone? Did your surprise work?

Yes, Jason and I flew to Orlando this past weekend for two jam packed days of fun (and he didn’t know anything about it prior to leaving)! Am I crazy? Maybe a little.

Again, stay tuned tomorrow to see how my surprise all played out! It’s a good one! :0)

Tell me about your weekend! Any races? Fun times with family/friends? Please share! I wanna hear all about it!

Surprise Birthday Party

On Friday, I eluded to a few special events happening in my neck of the woods over the course of the next few weeks. The “surprise” happened to involve my mother, her 60th birthday, and a surprise party. She reads my blog at times, so I didn’t want to post anything to give our secret away!

Surprise parties are something my dad and I enjoy throwing, together. We surprised my grandfather on his 90th birthday a couple of years ago and we surprised my mother on her 60th birthday just a few days ago.  Two for two, I’d say we’re getting the hang of this!

We had a great night and really enjoyed spending it with friends, family, and special party guests!

Have you ever thrown a surprise party or had a surprise party thrown for you? Did the special party guest/you suspect anything?
