TW and I obviously had big news to share with our parents and instead of a silly phone call we decided to try to go incognito and write on their vehicles while they couldn’t see us.  The above picture is from TW’s mom’s school.   She’s a school teacher at Huntsville so we decided to go “tag” her car then call the office and have them page her saying she should go check her car after 6th hour.  We sat hiding in our car waiting for her to come out and waited some more.  She never came so we were like oh well the surprise is ruined.  We walked into the office at the school and of course everyone in the office had known by then, and then we walked down the hall to her classroom where she was trying to call us.  Apparently she did see it but she didn’t go outside.  She said she thought TW called to tell the office she had a flat and as she was walking to go outside another teacher caught her and asked if she’d seen her car and to come look out her classroom window!  She jumped with excitement.  :)

We actually told my parents first as they live in Fayetteville.  We parked our car beside their house, behind a building, and secretly snuck in their driveway and wrote on my mom’s car.  Well then we decided that wasn’t enough we wanted to write on their front house window.  So we snuck up to it only to be disappointed that it had a huge screen over it.  So then TW stretched out and wrote on the back of Papa’s (my stepdad) Expedition.  Well apparently my mom was supposed to be napping but she was standing in the living room watching him try to be sneaky and write it on his car!!!!  Funny story!

So of course there’s more.  We actually found out on January 1st while we were on a ski trip (actually in the hotel room) with TW’s family.  We found out before anyone got there and we had to hide any trace that we knew the whole trip!  That was so hard!  Then hide it for about 18 more days!  We wanted to make sure and have a doctors appointment as we did today before we told anyone and obviously wanted to tell our parents first!  And to top it all off we just had dinner last night for my birthday with our closest friends and my parents and didn’t tell anyone!  :)

Enjoy
