The best kind of prize is a surprise!

Yes, it is a line from the new (and slightly creepy) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie.  I thought of this line as I was on my way to Boonville this morning to surprise Zach :)  I lied to him...I've asked him to forgive me so it's all good, and I only lie about his birthday, holidays, anniversaries, and, now, random surprises.  He left for Myanmar today (boarded his first flight about 10 minutes ago actually) and I have been telling him for about a month that I wouldn't be able to make it to see him off this morning...well...like I said, I lied.  I drove to the mall where they left, surprised the daylights out of him, and it was totally worth it!  I had his parents in on it, one of our friends from church (she went with me), and my entire family knew as well.  


So we're standing outside the Uncharted International Store, where they all had to meet, and I look at Zach's shirt and I held my sleeve up next to his...we had on the exact same color shirts from Old Navy that we both bought on Black Friday when we went shopping...you know you're meant to be together when...

Well worth driving to Evansville and back today :)

Hours of sleep I got last night = 6
Time spent on the road today = 4.5 hours
Gas money for the trip = $41.50
Seeing the look on his face after he saw his text that said, "Hey...turn around..." and turned around to see me walking towards him = PRICELESS
