I told him I wanted to go hiking if the weather cooperated. He let me think that's what we were going to do, but little did I know he had plans of his own. On Saturday he went to work in the morning while I did stuff around the house, and when he came back I thought we'd go hike. Instead he suggested we go up to BJ's in Tacoma for lunch. He said my face lit up (I LOVE that restaurant, and very few things make me as happy as food. Sad but true).
We enjoyed a nice (and very filling) lunch at BJ's, and while we were there he kept looking at his phone. When I asked what he was doing, all he said was "Looking something up. Don't worry about it." I don't like surprises or being kept in the dark, but I played along because I knew he wouldn't tell me.
(By the way, blogging keeps making me realize that I never take any pictures anymore. I need to work on that!)
I started trying to guess where we might go, and my hunch was right. He took me go-kart racing! He had gone for Grant's bachelor party, and I was jealous. He had also mentioned potentially doing that for his own bachelor party, and I was jealous again. Why does he keep getting to do these fun things without me? Luckily I'm engaged to such a wonderful man, and even when I said I wanted to go hiking, he knew I'd enjoy go-kart racing even more! Despite a small fire (someone's go-kart caught on fire right before we began racing--it was put out quickly and thankfully no one was hurt), and Jason ignoring the fact that "these are not bumper cars" we had a blast! I was proud of myself for not being the last one of our group, and also for not crashing or getting stuck.
Our day was exactly what I needed and more than I could have hoped for. Sunday we went to church and fast break, and then enjoyed spending some quality time with our friends. Shaun did a gallon challenge, and Eliza did a cinnamon challenge. Both very entertaining...and gross. Then we got to wax Shaun's body. This was all part of a "game" that we play, and it was so much fun! :)
