Throwing a surprise party for Ryan’s 30th birthday was pretty hard for me to do! In the last post I shared pictures of the food, games and fun that we had. The actual planning of the event was not hard at all it was the other stuff.
What other stuff you ask? Well….
-Being sneaky
-Going places and not being able to tell Ryan
-Having to keep the details of my day away from Ryan
-Talking to his family without telling him I had talked to them
-Acting like I was taking him out to do something for his birthday
-Just all of that stuff!
The great thing about our relationship is that we are best friends. We tell each other everything and are really open about what takes place on a day to day basis. The little things like an extra trip to the store for party supplies, talking to his mom on the phone or making cookies became things that I could not tell Ryan about because I was afraid he would piece things together.
All these little things adding up made me feel like I was being deceitful towards the end of it all. I wasn’t necessarily lying, but I was keeping things away from him.
I was explaining this to people at the party and they laughed. They thought it sounded a little silly.
So I want to know in the comment section below: If you have ever thrown a surprise party for your husband was it easy or hard for you to do?
I completely understand. I tell Gaylen everything, and I want to tell him everything, so as I was planning and making progress, he was the first one I wanted to tell, but I couldn’t. I felt really deceitful as well. I abhor lying, and I am terrible at it (even when it is “good” lying). I am not 100% sure I even surprised him, so since then, I have just told him we were having a party for him. It is much easier that way 🙂
I completely understand! I however, was able to pull it off according to Ryan. He probably won’t ever get another surprise party 😉 When I announced at the party that planning it has been the hardest thing in our marriage so far people laughed at me!
