so Jen - you changed your signature - does that mean Kyle knows? If not, how is the scavenger hunt going? or how did it go?
Ugh. Well.... he knows, so we're enjoying the idea of being excited together!
Otherwise -- Let's just say that the scavenger hunt didn't go as planned, as he got all grumpy about it

It's a long story, but he just wouldn't get into it. He was a serious party pooper! I think it was mostly because his last rotation is the month absolutely from hell, and he's been in a rotten mood ever since he found out he couldn't change it. He's driving to Georgetown (so...120 miles a day, on $3.00/gallon gas) for 12 hour shifts (so being gone for at least 14 hours a day) in a field he has no interest in.... not a happy place around here, to say the least
We got about 1/3 of the way through the clues and puzzle pieces and he was so daggone irritating about it that I (after a minor tiff) just put the pieces together, made a little book out of it, and gave it to him that way. At which point he felt REALLY, REALLY bad... especially after seeing how many pieces there were, and knowing I had more planned.
I waited until the next morning to show him the rest of the clues, etc and tell him that I had other people involved as well. He felt even worse, but was over the brunt of it so now it's just in the past... and we're looking forward to the trip!
Don't worry -- I gave him an extra earful for the work you put into it, and he really WAS impressed by the clues. I'm sorry it didn't work out as well!
