Well congrats Laine, things go like that sometimes.

I had a couple of instances where people found out before I was ready and there was also the issue of my not being able to pass for guy after 5 months on hormones. Between those two it drove me nuts and confused the heck out of the people around me.
One friend found out when I did not bind my chest and laid down on the floor.

He was good enough not to say anything until after I came out on my own (a couple of weeks later). I ended up admitting my gender issues with my parents after the split with my ex. My mom asked out loud about how my relationships did not work out too well. I can say she was not expecting that answer.

With that said, it is important that you draw up plans and have some sort of structure. It reminds you what you have done, where you are going, and what remains to be done and said.
I wish you the very best of luck and hope that your coming out continues to go well.
