Frustration and A Huge Surprise!

Hmm, how shall I start this blog entry. First of all I need to try to express the extreme frustration that came before the big reveal. Soooo, about a week and a half ago David told me that he needed me to help him out on Feb. 25. He had also told me that he would need me for the whole weekend. I thought that maybe one of his employees wouldn't be able to help him so I asked him what he would need me to do. He said "Stuff". So then I ask him what stuff and he said "Taxes". Hmm not much information for needing me all weekend and on such a specific time. So I continue to try to get some information out of him and he was being deliberately vague. Hind sight lets me know why but I have to say that while I was going through this I was getting really upset with David. So I continued throughout the week to try to figure out what he needed me to do. Finally Wednesday comes and I was talking to my visiting teaching companion and setting up a time to go out with her. David told me that I couldn't go!!!!!! What the heck was that, I mean what in the world could be more important than doing my visiting teaching. So I asked him if what he needed me to do was more important and he said yes. Then I was really getting ready to blow when David told my I could either trust him or feel stupid later. So I calmed down a little, I can't lie I wasn't completely calm but could anyone else out there honestly say that they would be under the same circumstances. Any way so I wake up on Thursday thinking I have no idea what I need to do at the office today but it's going to be big and a lot of work. I dropped all the kids off at school and then went to the office to report for duty. I get there and David asked me to pick something up, then I had to call a number that no one would answer for at least 30 minutes, he had me sitting waiting for him because something came up that he had to take care of. I have to say by now I was really ready to blow but I was trying really hard to be a good wife and didn't want to get upset for nothing. David decided that we needed to go to lunch but when we left he told me that he had hurt his leg and needed to take a pain pill. Oh my was I really worried and even asked him if he needed me to take him to the hospital. He told me no he would be okay once he took the medicine so I hurried home, trying to go slow over the speed bumps. As soon as I got home I jumped out of the car and ran inside and brought him his medicine and a glass of water. He took it and I was ready to take him to lunch when he told me that Mike had called and wanted to show me some cabinets for the kitchen. So I started to get suspicious. What in the world has my darling husband cooked up. Mike drives up and backs the trailer into our driveway. I was waiting for David to go over but Mike said that I needed to come see because it was for me. When he opened the door I got the best surprise of my life. There stood my bestest friend with some balloons. She had flown all the way from Tennessee just to see me. I have to say I was so excited that I screamed and then ran to give her a hug. I couldn't believe that she had done that just for me. I felt sooo loved!!! I really can't express how much this meant to me. She knew that I was under a lot of stress and needed some help and she came and relieved the pressure. Thank you Michelle for such a wonderful surprise. I will remember it for the rest of my life and into the eternities. You are truly my eternal friend whom heavenly Father sent to help me through this life. I love you bunches. Teresa
