My sweet and wonderful hubby surprised me with a very special birthday present this year!
This was a HUGE surprise to me! I have loved the Toyota Rav4 for a few years now. I used to point them out to hubby whenever we were out and about and tell him how much I liked them. Over and over again. About a year ago, he finally told me to quit talking about them. LOL!
Earlier this week, he asked me if I could take a day off from work to make a trip to Des Moines as he wanted to go to Costco for something. This was a very unusual request... Des Moines is 3 hours from us (6 hours round trip in a day) and he is never the one to initiate a trip. I am usually the one who does that!
Hubby can't keep a secret. He just can't! He blurted out the big surprise almost immediately as he was so excited: we were going to Des Moines to pick up this car as my surprise birthday present!
My birthday isn't really for a few more weeks. And yep, it's the big "Five-O" !
Thanks for visiting!

What a fun gift! Happy Early Birthday to you! Great job by your hubby. Did you still get to go to Costco and fill that new car with treasures? :)

We did make it to Costco and filled it up! Lots of great shopping there but the only other store I made a quick dash into was TJMaxx. And I found something there as well!
Wow, found you from Brenda's Welcome Wagon. We have a lot in common. I am an Air Force Angel as well (at least that is what I call us military girls). My Dad was stationed in San Antonio while I was in high school, and I have many fonds memories. My brother and his family live in Iowa City. And I am also a graphic designer/web designer. Great to meet!! I hope we can stay in touch, I am now one of your followers!!
I just love the bow they placed on it and the card too..your hubby is so adorable to do this and get them to make it so special for you.
Oh wow, happy birthday! What a fun birthday gift! I would love to be able to give my spouse a new truck for his birthday someday!

Happy Birthday, Carolyn!! What a great surprise! And the car is beautiful!
I am popping over from Cozy Little House, which is featuring your blog today. I love what I have seen here...we live on a lake in Michigan...mostly just in the summer and occasionally during the winter. What a great life!!
You have a new follower!
XO,

Congrats, you lucky dog! I'm in desperate need of a new car but I've got to hang on a little while longer. My Honda Odyssey is about to turn over 200,000 miles! Yikes! Love your new Rav 4!
Wow what a nice birthday present!
So happy to meet you I found you today from Brenda's Welcome Wagon post.
Looking forward to getting to know you

I came across your blog while I was searching for ideas for a graduation party and did not realize how interesting blogs can be! I have bookmarked yours to read and some others I found from yours. Is there an easier way to follow blogs?
The Rav 4 is a great car! I speak from experience with personally owning one. Two really. I bought my 2nd one last year.
Happy Birthday, Carol! Stopped in from Cozy Little House. What a neat gift you got and I'm glad you were surprised. Love those Ravs, too.
Aren't you the lucky one. Happy birthday to you. Beautiful vehicle. I'm visiting from Brenda's Welcome Wagon.
Wow! Maybe you should turn 50 more often!
;-)
WOW, what an awesome birthday gift!!! You are a lucky girl. I LOVE your new "ride"!
Happy Birthday, early!

Happy Birthday and congratulations. What a fabulous hubby and awesome car. I would say both are keepers.

Well after a day of tornados I am thankful I still have my home. I'm finally able to sit in front of a computer and answer mail.
Wow, the eagle is fantastic for all to enjoy in your neighborhood.
Happy Birthday, and what about that sweet husband, I'm going to forward this comment to mine. Maybe he'll take a hint too! I'm going to be your newest follower..

Thanks for the comments and the birthday wishes!! I'm pretty excited over my new car!
Happy belated birthday to you and Bravo to your husband for a job well done!
Even though your husband blurted out about his big surprise for your birthday, I can still imagine the ‘surprised’ look at your face after seeing his dazzling present. =) This Toyota Rav4 is definitely STUNNING! It evidently has amazing features that allows you to have a smooth and safe drive all the time. =)
