my husband's lies

My husband sometimes does not have the same ideas that i have.  So i am learning that if i want him to do something i need to let him know what i am thinking instead of getting mad at him after he doesnt do the thing that he didnt know i wanted him to do.  so, a week or so before my birthday i mentioned how i was excited about finally celebrating my birthday with him.  and i even mentioned that i wanted to separate valentines day and my birthday.  and i asked him if he wanted me to think about what restaurant we could go to for my birthday cause we needed to make a reservation.  but he said that he would take care of it.  so i made myself trust him.  but THEN, yesterday, the saturday before Feb 14, we were discussing the valentine's day/birthday plans.  and he HADNT make reservations yet!!!! yes, i can say i was disappointed.  but, still trusting him.  so when he said he felt bad because i was mad at him i made sure he knew, i wasnt mad, i was waiting to see if i would be disappointed on monday or not.

i should have known...
Israel cleaned the house friday AND saturday
Israel had the table and chairs arranged like we always do for parties friday afternoon
Israel had a very specific schedule..."So, do you want to go running, come back here to eat, clean and do laundry, then we can go about 5pm to get the sushi things and maybe eat something, then watch Chivas at 7."
Israel informed me he was going to dress weird.  and he did, his black dress pants and vest, white tshirt and white tennis shoes.
Israel made sure i had my keys, when i saw that he had his keys already
Israel suggested that we look to see what movies were out, even though we werent going to watch one cause he had to get back home to watch the soccer game. but then when I went to go look at the movies he walked away to answer the phone."
Israel decided to "keep driving" to go around the block to get home instead of the most direct way
Israel invited me to stay in the car when he went in to buy bread.  I thought he was being nice because i was complaining about being cold and didnt want to get out of the car, but really he was going inside to make a secret phone call and he didnt want me there.
so, as Israel was making distracting conversation, and i took out my keys to open the door, answering his question, i opened the door and screamed.  during my scream i wondered if perhaps i had unlocked and opened the door to someone else's house, but quickly dertermined that no, they were sitting on my couch and they were MY friends.  I was shaking for a good 15-20 minutes after my shock and surprise.  but it was good. Israel had pulled off a great surprise party for me.  Caitlin did a great job of  putting the details together.  I was completely surprised and happy to have my friends celebrate my birthday with me on the day that according to MY schedule was suppose to be 6-monthaversary-eve.

So, i dont have to wait until monday to find out if i am disappointed by my husband's lack of planning for my birthday.  I am very happy with my husband's planning of my birthday- i feel kind of bad for doubting him.
