Last December my 'bomb dot com' husband graduated from Utah State University with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Business.
We were a bit preoccupied at the time (uh, having a baby and moving!) so his accomplishment kind of went unnoticed.
Nick wasn't too keen on the idea of walking with the University this Spring so I decided to throw him a Surprise Graduation Party.
It worked out perfect.
Nick had to work half a day Saturday so I went to the park ealier and got a spot and was about to start setting up when Nick called - he had gotten off earlier than I expected! So I rushed home to meet him. (Huge thanks to my mom, Nick's mom and Ann for finishing setting up for me!).
I told Nick I thought we should go for a picnic and sent him to the store to get drinks. When he got home, I had a nice picnic basket ready - which he was NOT allowed to look in.
I proposed we walk to the park (because we were still a bit early for the party).
Nick had no idea I was up to anything.
Even when we got to the park and was walking up to the party he didn't notice -
I finally had to say, "Hey, don't you recognize all these people?" and then he finally realized that he had been tricked!
Ah, I LOVE a good surprise! (well, as long as it's not on me)

We have the BEST family and friends in the whole world.
Thanks so much you guys!
The party was complete with a Tiki Man Pinata
The Pinata was a hit! It attracted random kids throughout the park.
Nick finally busted the Tiki Man
(My dad nicknamed him Osama Bin Laden- Oh dad!)
Plenty of candy to go around!
The party must have been a success because I had a surprised hubby
and one tuckered out babe...
At the end Nick said he had just one question....
What was in the picnic basket we brought with us...
Food Storage.

Yay, congrats Nick! And I laughed out loud when I read the pinata's nickname.
Awesome :) So glad he was so supprised and so sad we missed it :( But congrats Nick! We thought about you while JOhn was walking...
Sorry, rebecca is my mom, but (Elise) made this comment ;)
You might be the best wife and the most prepared cause I wouldn't even have had food storage to use as a decoy. Way to go Nick!!!
