This week I've done a few things that have completely surprised Dave.
First, fly-fishing. I didn't actually go fly-fishing, but I did attend a fly-fishing class on Tuesday.
Granted, it was a Relief Society activity.
And David was the one teaching.
But, still, I was there and tried my best to learn how to cast a fly line.
David is blown away thinking I might fish with him someday.
Second, hemming. Yes, I did indeed hem a pair of pants for David.
Dave often jokes that he had to a have daughter so his buttons can be sewn on
and his pants hemmed.
He's not far off.
Except, I think he should learn how to do those things himself.
Not his daughter (or wife).
But, Wednesday I took pity on him and hemmed a pair of pants for him.
David is blown away with the knowledge that I can actually hem.
Third, first drives.
Carson got his permit yesterday.
Dave and I decided long ago that he would be the one
to take the kids out on their first drives.
But since I was on a roll surprising Dave,
I took Carson on his first drive.
It was only in the CV high school parking lot.
I only said "Carson!" once.
Dave was blown away when he learned I actually did
take Carson on his first drive.
What a fun week.
Should be good for a few reciprocal surprises for our anniversary.
Which is coming up in a couple of weeks.

Your last sentance is known as "hint language"- only took me 40 years to figure it out.
Great job on the surprises
Dadio
I think he learned the term "hint language" in CEO training - it's been "new to me" over the last little bit. On the other hand, your dad has been pretty good at surprises for several years. I survived 5 first drives - just never first drives with a stick. Way to go.
HAHA! I cannot believe Carson is driving. I better get with it and accept the fact that your kids are going to grow up whether I'm there or not...boo! I hope David doesn't 'surprise' you with a fly fishing trip for your anniversary! =)
