Weekend FULL OF SURPRISES

OK so I have the best husband....no really I DO! For the last couple of months Brent has been planning a "surprise" for me. I had no idea and when he first told me that he was planning a surprise I laughed telling him that he has yet to keep a surprise from me. He just can't keep it from me. He is always so excited and spills the beans. So I should have kept my mouth shut because he didn't breath a word. He didn't even give a hint. NOTHING...and it drove me CRAZY! I was very nervous because he led me to believe we were leaving the kids with someone and so that really was the hard part. I NEEDED TO KNOW! But he kept telling me to TRUST him....so I had no choice but to do just that. Through talking to my friend Collette I found out that Russell (her hubby) had a surprise for her too..... so together we tried to get clues, only to confuse me more. 

Well, long story short... Friday afternoon a knock came on our door and a nice car was awaiting for me to hop in with Collette in there. I was struck speechless as I didn't quite understand what was going on. All of the sudden I was taken away and Brent wasn't coming as I thought he was (he even packed his bag to throw me off). So at first I thought we were maybe just taking a joy ride but then we opened an envelope with a flight itinerary. 

WE WERE OFF TO VEGAS! I then thought for sure that my sister-in-law Sonia would somewhere fit into our weekend....How could I go to Vegas and not see her!!! But still got no answers, was only told that there would be someone there with a sign to pick us up. Well it was Sonia but not only was it Sonia it was my other two sister-in-laws. I wanted to pee my pants, I was so excited and shocked! So we stayed the night at Sonia's and then Saturday spent the day shopping and was told that we would be going to dinner and we all wanted to dress up! Then it was revealed that we were going to be staying the night in the Belagio....nice! 24th floor with a perfect view of the water show. We all got ready and were running out the door to meet Sonia's friend for dinner, which we just ate and I didn't feel like eating again. So I was kind of slow. Which only made us all have to run, run, run, so we didn't loose our reservations. As we are running around the corner in the casino we hit the MAMMA MIA  entrance and it all clicked. We really were going to MAMMA MIA! For those of you who don't know, I LOVE MAMMA MIA! It was absolutely the greatest. Anyone who hasn't seen the play is missing out! I got a couple of pictures before the security guy came and tackled me.... (just kidding but he really did come and point his finger at me). We then went out to eat at a great yummy place and went back to our room. Stayed up late talking and then passed out. Collette and I pushed our time to the max to get to the airport and were again running like crazy to get to check in. All that running and knocking people out of our way to find out that our plane was delayed we had lots of time. 

When I got home the house was spotless, smelled divine, and there were roses on the table for me. Just when I thought it the weekend was at an end it got better! Brent had Merry maids come in and totally deep clean the house...hello, did I say I love this brilliant man! 

Anyway, it was  a great weekend that will be remembered forever! Thanks to the love of my life for being so sweet! I want to just eat him up right now! I love you babe!

Thanks Collette for being my partner in crime for the weekend...(too bad the guys don't know what we have up our sleeves this time...they forget who they are dealing with!) 

And THANK YOU THANK YOU to my sister-in-laws for making such a perfect weekend. It was so good to see you gals and makes me miss you guys that much more and wish we didn't live so far away. I think this needs to become a tradition that we do each year. A getaway from our kids and hubbies and some much needed girl talk, shopping, and FUN!
