My poor dad...
So, I just got off the phone with my parents. I'm turning 30 next month and H has been asking me for a while what I want to do. Last year was a bit of a bust, as we had just moved, I literally started my new job that day and H was back in NY doing work for his old boss. None of this phased me...trust me, I was just thrilled to have a job. However, I know he not only wants to make up for that, but also do something because it's the big 3-0. I've vaguely mentioned how it would be lovely to somehow see friends and family at some point during the time my birthday will be happening, but I realize it's crazy of me to actually ask this of people, so I haven't really given it much thought.
Anyway, while on the phone with my dad, he says, "Well, I guess we'll be coming up there soon! Next month, right?" and I'm like, "Uhhh..."...and he's like, "Oh, was I not supposed to say that? Uhhh, haha...ummm...maybe you didn't know that??" I feel soooo bad that he has now clearly ruined some form of surprise birthday thing that H has probably been trying to organize. Blahhhh...now I feel all awkward! And my actual birthday isn't even until the 30th...so much time to try to pretend I didn't hear that...I just want to rewind back 20 minutes...
Anyway...this being my biggest problem, I'll move on. 
Re: My poor dad...
Boo! I hate when a surprise gets ruined, because then it's hard to a) keep my mouth shut & b) how do you act suprised when you're really not.
My DH slipped about my bridal shower when I had it. I did ok acting surprised, I think.
I know - I feel so guilty for some reason! I am definitely not going to tell H...I don't want him to be upset with my dad...I mean, I know he won't be mad or anything, but I feel bad for my dad for slipping. I think The Nest is as far as this will go, just in case.
It's quite funny actually, now that I think about it, because my dad's 60th is this month and H and I are going back to NY to celebrate with my family and my dad still doesn't know we are going to be there...this year has been full of sneaky surprises with my parents both turning 60, their 40th anniversary and now my 30th birthday...2012 will be relaxing!
