Big Surprise!

In September, I started thinking about something that I could give Travis for graduation. I thought it would be fun to surprise him with an NFL game. I asked my brother what the best game would be and he said Giants vs. Cowboys, so...I've been sneaking money away since then to surprise Travis with a little trip. Last Saturday morning his parents called to see if they could take Travis somewhere for his graduation. Travis thought we were going to breakfast. Instead, we drove to the airport and flew into Dallas. We had so much fun! It was really hard leaving Lincoln, luckily he was in good hands! Thanks for working so hard Travis!










I was lucky enough to get a picture with a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader! It's a nasty picture of me, but luckily it's an even nastier picture of him :)!

Oh My, Look at those stretch marks! Has he had his baby yet?

Your such a wonderful wife!! I bet he was just shocked and elated all at the same time! You should get the "wife of the year" award. Between that and actually playing softball with him, you deserve it!!

Beg to differ.... Titans/Steelers game for the top seed in the AFC through the playoffs would have been pretty sweet as well. Plus you could have stayed with some pretty awesome people in the Ville. Next time...Next Time...

I can't believe you were brave enough to stand next to that guy for a picture! He would scare me. I am so proud of you for pulling off such an awesome surprise. I am amazed he didn't find out somehow. You are good!

Wow Margie, you are awesome. I thought I had the creativity/surprise market cornered with my husband, but you totally do. Keep doing stuff like that. I'm going to keep lookin for good ideas from you to do surprises for my husband. The only thing you have to worry about is now the expectations are going to be pretty high j/k.

Margie- I wish I were married to you. (aside from the fact that you are my cousin and we are both girls) How cool. I would love to do that for my husband. TUSHAY!

Kristin Sokol said...

Um Margie. You are rad! Your husband had better worship the ground you walk on.

Oh...and what a lovely pic with you and the cheerleader. They say the camera adds ten pounds. Was she thinner in real life? She looked pretty heavy and had some gnarly stretch marks in the pic.

Margie, this is Erin (Thurgood) Pulley. I saw your link on Kiersten's blog. I have to say that your surprise is the best idea! You look fantastic, and your little boy is adorable.

Marg, I've been waiting for an update from you for quite some time. I want to come to Kaysville this month and get together with you and mel, and the kiddies of course.
