Garrett was at work and I was at home doing my daily things. I noticed that I was late and decided to look up "pregnancy symptoms" online. I had a feeling that I should do a pregnancy test. So, I went to the store, picked up a pregnancy test, and after saying a prayer I took the test. I waited anxiously as time ticked away. Staring at the test I saw a second line appear and I was shocked! 
I had a goofy, crazy smile plastered on my face! I ran around the house and jumped around. After I had settled down a bit, I called a Christian clinic that gives free pregnancy tests and scheduled an appointment for the next day.
I didn't want to tell Garrett over the phone and so I was planning on waiting until he got off of work, which was about 6 hours away! Garrett called me about an hour later asking me to meet him for lunch. He never can get away for lunch, and I knew that this was the perfect opportunity to tell him. I wrapped the pregnancy test up in wrapping paper and stuck a bow on top.
Our 3rd anniversary was the next day and I was planning on telling Garrett that it was an early anniversary gift.
He walked out to the car, gave me a kiss, we made a little small talk, and I pulled the gift out of my purse. I said, "happy anniversary!" He opened it up and just stared at it...he had opened it upside down and he didn't know what it was! haha. I said, "it's upside down!" and flipped it over. It took him about one second to realize what it was and he just lit up and started laughing! He looked at me and said, "really?!" and I said, "yes! We're having a baby!" We just talked, laughed, and kissed and hugged the entire lunch break. He was thrilled.
It wasn't planned by either of us, but I know that it was planned by God. We feel so blessed to be having a baby. What a miracle.
