Jamie (my DH) his birthday is May 19th. Keep a couple things in mind. First I am terrible at keeping secrets from him. He knew just about all of his christmas presents months before christmas even arrived. Also note that I am a rare breed of female..I LOVE sports..well most of the them any way. I am not big into tennis or golf but I love love love football, baseball, basketball and hockey. I do believe that this may have been on of the reasons my husband married me :). We are both huge Boston fans as in the Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox and Bruins.
We live in New Jersey (currently). This year for Jamie's birthday I really wanted to do something kind of different for him. I mean he always likes to get video games, itunes gift cards, clothes, ect but I wanted something that he would really enjoy and remember. So about 2 months ago I was driving to work and I heard on the radio that the Philadelphia Phillies were selling 6 packs of tickets and that the only way to get Phillies Red Sox tickets was to purchase one of these 6 packs. Well to make a long story short I did my research and got Phillies tickets for 6 games including the Red Sox, the Mets on the 4th of July and some other games. We have approx 1 game a month until September. I was smart and had the tickets shipped to my work because I was worried that he might check the mail (which he never does) and find them. So needless to say I have been carrying them around in my purse for the last 2 weeks because I can't think of any place to leave them in our teeny 1 bedroom apt that he might not find them.
So here is the plan. I have told him that I want to go out to dinner on next Friday night to celebrate his birthday and mine (I was away on mine so we never did anything). My plan is to have a card for him, this would not be out of the ordinary seeing as we are celebrating his birthday, and I am going to put all of the tickets inside it so when he opens it they will all fall out and he is going to be completely suprised.
Hopefully I can keep a secret until then!
