My husband NEVER ceases to AMAZE me!

So.... several weeks ago, Brendon sent me a calendar request for a surprise get-a-way for Friday and Saturday night of my "birthday week." Immediately, I called him and asked how he thought this was going to work out being that our daughter is completely obsessed with nursing and 100% addicted! He said, "Please do not ask any questions... it is all taken care of and you will only be 45 minutes away in case of an emergency." I was still nervous... not so much for Katelyn but whoever was going to take care of her.... afraid they would go crazy with a completely out of control baby!

Anyway, I was told to be ready by 1PM on Friday.... my wonderful SIL and BIL came over to watch the kids and Brendon escorted me to our driveway which had a convertible Mini Cooper in it! I was totally shocked! Our neighbors had just bought it as there 3rd "fun" car but a week later found out they were pregnant and generously told Brendon to take it as she doesn't fit into it very comfortable now:)


Still have no idea where we were going until we pulled into The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa!

So, I was sitting on the couch in our hotel room waiting for the Bellman to bring our bags and Brendon tells me to come sit on the bed and close my eyes.... when I open my eyes, the whole bed is covered in ca$h!!!!!!!!!! I was like... WHAT THE HECK????? Did you rob a bank? He said all this money is for you to spend on yourself any way you want but every single dollar has to be gone by the time we leave tomorrow! The only rules are that you cannot buy anything for the kids or for me or for the house... it can only be for you!!!!!!!!! He had taken a consulting job a couple of months ago that I didn't know about and that is how he pulled this whole thing off without me seeing any money leaving any of our accounts... he is brilliant!

Then he told me that he had made reservations at two very nice restaurants and proceeded to show me pictures, video and reviews for both places so that I could decide which one I wanted to go to... yes! I am that high maintenance when it comes to choosing restaurants! I had heard about this restaurant http://www.sassi.biz/restaurant/photo-gallery.php and really wanted to go so this is the one that I chose and it was AMAZING! The service was phenomenal... I love when two servers wait on your table and the food was OUTSTANDING! My mouth is watering right now thinking about it!

After dinner, we hung out at the resort... it was the perfect weather that night and we didn't have to worry about the kids because it was just the two of us! It was just awesome!

The next morning we slept in....ahhhhh!!! Lovely! Then we went for a nice, leisurely breakfast then it was SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, my husband never ceases to amaze me in his creativity and his incredible love for me! I am one very lucky girl! After 7 years of marriage, he still makes me feel so special and shows me how much he values me! I love you and thank you so much for the best birthday weekend!
