From Confusion to SURPRISE!!!

Last night my parents threw me a surprise graduation party!! They got me to believe that their homegroup was having a game night and I could invite one person. So, I invited Kate. Little did i know that most of my friends would happen to be "in the neighborhood" and show up to this "game night". And this is how it all went...

I was sitting in the dining room and I saw Whitney, Benji, and Lindsey walking up to my house. I let them in and they said they were at Borders and wanted to stop and say hey. So my mom asked them to stay for a while. Then the Patrick, Chelsea, and Gabriella showed up and said they were out looking at light's and thought they'd stop and say hey. At this point i was confused. Why would all of these people just randomly happen to show up at my house, when I already had something planned, and then why were they all invited to stay?? I sat back down to eat, and next thing I know...Annie and Aaron are at my door. This just pushed me over the edge. I opened the door and said, "What are you doing here?? Did someone call you to come here?? What is going on?!?!?!?" And I ran upstairs to my room. Gabriella was jumping on my bed, and I called Nicole to see if she knew what was up. She didn't answer so I left her a message that went a little something like this, "NICOLE, I AM HAVING THE WEIRDEST NIGHT EVER!!! CALL ME BACK!!!! SOMETHING IS GOING ON OVER HERE!!!" And with that I walked downstairs and there was everyone saying, SURPRISE, HAPPY GRADUATION!!!! And then it clicked and I knew exactly what was going on.

Mom and dad, you got me good once again!! Thank you for the party. It was a lot of fun. And to those of you who couldn't make it, don't worry...that was just a pre-graduation party...my prepared grad. party will be sometime this spring:)
