I LOVE Surprises

So last night I got home from a party and had a surprise waiting on the porch for me.....not one, but THREE pair of new swim goggles from my triathlon training partner.  Maybe he's just sick of letting me borrow his.....

But it makes me think back to Christmas and I can honestly say I NEVER tried to peak at my presents beforehand.  It ruins all the fun people!  Surprises are the best.  And when one is ruined for me, I get pretty upset....like the time my dad accidentally told me my little sis was coming for a visit and I had to act surprised when she knocked on my door.  Didn't work too well.  At least I got to see the enjoyment when she surprised my older sister.

Maybe my love of surprises stems from my love of adventures, trying new things and doing dares.  The new and unexpected adds a little flavor to life.  But, the question is......which one did I like first that influenced the others??
