Last February I had flights booked to Queensland to celebrate our Chris (Stewey) and Tammy's engagement party. It was going to be a great weekend away with friends. We had the engagement party planned as well as a trip to one of the theme parks.
Unfortunately a few weeks before we were scheduled to depart I got the call that I was booked in for my reversal & splenectomy. At that time I had mixed feelings, although it would have been great to go to Queensland my reversal was something I had been waiting for a while. In hindsight with the complications, Queensland would have been soooo much better.
About a month ago, the opportunity came up again to go to Queensland to surprise our mate for his 28th Birthday. At that time I was starting to get overwhelmed with work so I was definitely keen for a break even for a weekend. Gemma helped organise all our flights and Tammy helped organise accommodation on the Gold Coast and kept it a secret from him.
On Thursday 12th September we flew out in style..... well Tiger Airways style headed to "BrisVegas". Once arriving at the airport Tammy picked us up and drove us to her parents place.
On the way we had to come up with ideas on how we could surprise him, I came up with some good ones but apparently no one thought to bring a bear costume. Instead we settled for us hiding in the laundry whilst we waited for Stewey to be a good fiancée and get Tammy a wine from the fridge.
Once at Tammy's parents place we all piled into the laundry which was attached to the kitchen. Tammy then went upstairs, crashed on the couch and told Stewey she needed a wine. Slowly Stewey went downstairs and into the kitchen, from our hiding spot in the laundry we could hear him speaking but we were unsure if he was going to come into laundry.
As we were contemplating jumping out, the door handle turned and the door started opening......... SURPRISE!!!!!! we yelled at him. Stewey who was obviously shocked jumped back then realised it was us. As he told us later you don't ever expect to find people hiding in your laundry. We were pretty proud of ourselves that it was so successful.
That night we had dinner and a few drinks before a relative early night ready for Dreamworld in the morning.
