the best gift ever...
i got the biggest surprise of my life today. i have to admit that there was much planning and tons of manipulation in order to pull this amazing surprise off.
for the past month, i had thought my best friend was avoiding me since she was canceling all of our plans that we made. yup, for a month she bailed and it did upset me. i even vented to J about it and all he could say is, "you can't be mad at her, i'm sure she had her reasons". a phrase i found pretty unjustifiable. anyways, as the days neared my birthday (it hasn't arrived as of yet) i focused on the baby shower since that's what meant most to my best. they both started dropping hints that they bought me something jointly. then one day, my best told me the big secret to why she was avoiding me. she was trying to bring J over for my bday weekend so he was able to spend time with me. unfortunately, it wasn't worth it as the time would have been short and i'd be going down in a few weeks. so, naturally i said the sentiment was sweet but all i wanted was time with my best friend. to be honest, i thought they had bought me a macro lens or a telephoto lens as i wished for.. since they said the gift would be arriving a little after my birthday.
so..today, i spent the day with my best friend to get our manicures and pedicures done. she was on the phone with her boyfriend for quite a bit. i couldn't reach J all day and was getting worried. i guess i ended up just believing that J was busy or his phone died (as usual). his dad was acting all weird when i called and i was just confused. i went back in the shop and looked at her dead on, and asked "Where's J?". She looked at me with a concerned face and said, "is there something wrong?". after some time i just forgot about it. my best friend dropped me at home after our nail session and trip to the liquor store, she asked me to close the door behind her. a few moments later she knocked (i thought she forgot something..again). she then said, "oops, sorry i forgot your gift in my car".. i turned around and there he was.. J was standing right there on my driveway with cake and potato wedges in his hand. D's boyfriend was behind with J's luggage in hand.. i have never had tears of joy like i did today. it was an unbelievably and surreal feeling to know people loved me that much to do something that crazy for someone like me. someone so undeserving of such a sentiment.. i was just completely blown away. i have never felt so touched, so loved and so special in my entire life.. and you know what, it feels so good! D,P & J.. i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you... =')
when you think you know, you really don't actually know.. and this time it was a great outcome!
