Birthday Surprise

Today is Richard's 25th Birthday. 
You may remember my first surprise-IRONMAN. Richard found the dvd *less than 24 hours*after hiding it, and he wasn't even looking.

This wasn't the only surprise he ruined (unexpectedly, I may add).

I also planned on taking Richard to Wendy's for his birthday dinner.
We used to go to Wendy's quite a lot when we lived in Provo. However, we hadn't even gone once since living up here. NO JOKE-The DAY after I thought of this idea, Richard and I were out running errands together. When we were done, instead of heading towards home, he made a different turn and drove right to Wendy's! He said, "We haven't gone once since moving here. I thought it would be a good end to our day together!" I couldn't believe it!

Lastly, for sentimental reasons, I was going to buy some IBC rootbeer for him.
In a creative response to him asking me on my first date, I bought some IBC rootbeer for him, and left a note saying, "I B C'n you at the football game" So, how was this surprise ruined? Last week, there was a sale on 2 liter bottles of pop. But 3 get 3 free. So, Richard came home with LOTS of rootbeer.

After this incident, I just came out and told him all my other thoughts and surprises for his birthday, because I couldn't handle it anymore! It was all way TOO funny. So I made one more trip to buy him a present. You'll never guess what I got him. Except, I'll just tell you cuz I don't care--a toothbrush. Yes, Richard, you get a new toothbrush for your birthday. 

Happy Birthday Silly Man.
