The Secret Revealed - and a New Ticker
The Secret Revealed - and a New Ticker
As many of you know, I had been harboring a secret for the last few months - a family vacation to STJ over this coming April break. I booked this trip last May and had to keep the secret until Christmas (well okay, I did tell you guys, but it was killing me!).
What I decided I would do was print the airline confirmation and wrap it with hubby's big gift, which he would open last - simple enough. Christmas morning is usually focused on the kids; parents opening a gift here and there, but no one usually pays too much attention. So during the process, I opened one of my gifts, which turned out to be my "big gift" - would you believe a pair of earrings from Coral Bay Jewelers??? Completely surprised and stunned, I said, "Well, in keeping with this theme, you have to open yours next." So he did - a new leather jacket - "Um, how's this in keeping with the theme?". I had to tell him to look at everything, and as soon as he did, he understood. "Cool!" was the interjection I remember hearing first. Then he said "This is a gift for you too" - well,okay, ya got me there, but it is a good one
An so the secret was revealed. I can finally post my new ticker. I can hardly wait!!!
