Surprise!

Just to catch everyone up, I tried to surprise my family by going to California last weekend. Too bad I cannot keep my own surprises if my life depended on it. I told too many people in my extended family and in my immediate family that my mother found out and when she called me last Thursday to see what I was doing...well our conversation went a little like this:
Mom: Hey Erin, what are you up to right now?
Erin: I'm in class.
Mom: You are talking on your phone in class?
Erin: Yeah. I will call you later.
(an hour later)
Mom: What are you doing? It sounds like you are driving on a highway.
(And by the way, the whole time this is going on Ammon keeps repeating "Erin she knows. She knows.")
Erin: Yeah, I am driving to Ammon's house....
(here is where it gets good)
Mom: Erin... I know your secret.
Erin: What secret?
Mom: I have my sources Erin, I know you are driving home this weekend.
DANG IT. Yeah.. It went down like that. I am so bad with surprises. When Ammon and I decided to drive home, he told me not to tell anyone because we were going to surprise them! And of course I am so excited to surprise everyone... Every SINGLE day Ammon and I would have this conversation: (This is not an exaggeration)
Erin: Ammon... I told Crystal we are coming. But don't worry I won't tell ANYONE else.
Ammon: Erin you might as well tell your mom. She is going to find out.
Erin: No.. She won't! I am not going to tell anyone else.
NEXT DAY: (literally)
Erin: Ammon...
Ammon: Let me guess, you told someone.
Erin: Alright so what, I told Jordyn. She won't tell anyone, don't worry.
Ammon: Erin. Why don't you just tell everyone. It doesn't have to be a surprise.
AGAIN... NEXT DAY:
Erin: (breathing)
Ammon: Who did you tell?
Erin: I told my grandparents. But don't worry! I told them to swear not to tell anyone!
Ammon: Who else do you plan on telling? I guarantee your family already knows.
This literally happened every single day for a week until we arrived in California. The only person that was completely oblivious to me arriving was my father (no surprise). Haha. Great weekend though! I am done with school in exactly 12 days! I will write more later! X O. E.
