Surprise!

Thank you to all of you who told me to enjoy my weekend
after having a not so wonderful week last week!
I enjoyed every second of the weekend, and I'm ready to take on the week :)
.

As always, Monday is all about Smell the Roses!
If you're not sure what it is, no worries, you can catch up here.
Last week's task was to surprise someone just because &
I think this has been my favorite task so far!
I love taking the time to give someone a thoughtful surprise,
whether it's a compliment, meeting them for a lunch date OR...
buying them tickets to a baseball game ;)

I decided that I wanted to surprise Adam. He's there to pick me up when I'm down,
to listen when I feel like talking nonstop, and of course to snap some shots when
I'm in need of some blog pictures!
(Although, my mom took these first 3, because I hadn't given Adam the surprise yet)




Instead of just handing him the tickets, I decided to get a baseball and write the game
info right on it. A little more creative & now he has a little keepsake!
.

Adam's a huge Rays fan & I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that he loved his surprise :)
Take this in...you rarely see a picture of him with a real smile!


We played catch with the ball, and I thought it looked cool dirtied up. 


Did you surprise someone this week?!
Grab a button, link up & let me know :)

This week's task:
Meet a need.

There are tons of needs that need to be met all around us on a daily basis.
Maybe you want to take a homeless person grocery shopping or volunteer 
for a local organization or pull your neighbor's weeds...it can be anything, the sky
is the limit :) So get out there and lend a helping hand, lovelies!

.
And because you guys are SO wonderful,
I have a little surprise for you in honor of last week's STR task :)

I'm giving away a small ad space for May!
You only have ONE day to enter to get to it!
I'll announce the winner on Thursday :)
Good luck!
