Wonderful Weekend

Matt and I spent a wonderful weekend together. I had been planning for the past 3 or so weeks for Matt and I to spend time together and just relax and pamper ourselves. I asked my sisters to watch Thomas Friday evening and overnight and until the next late afternoon. I packed an overnight bag for Matt and I and had previously set up some appointments for the weekend. So I had been keeping this a secret and on Friday Matt pulled in the driveway thinking we were just going on a date to dinner and a movie and my sister were watching him for that. Little did he know that while he was changing I loaded the car with our overnight bags and pillows. So we set off. I told him that we had to make a stop before going out to eat and told him which direction to head. We pulled into the hotel and I told him that we were staying here tonight and we needed to check in and go see our room. He was totally surprised and excited! We dropped off our stuff and checked out the room (which had a king size bed with super comfy pillows and comforter).

We headed to Outback for a steak dinner and then back to the hotel. I will say this was for relaxation so what you are thinking that would normally happen next....didn't. First of all, Matt had a cold and hadn't slept good in the last three nights. Second of all I am 25weeks along and I was DEAD tired. So I ran myself a bath in the extra long tub and just relaxed for about an hour (which is so nice when you need to take some of the pressure off from carrying extra weight on your body). Then Matt took a bath and after that we literally sat in the bed for an hour both reading our books. It was so relaxing. Then we went to bed about 10:00 and enjoyed every precious silent moment of slumber:)

The next day we woke up and had some Chick-fil-a breakfast and then headed for the Spa. We each had an hour long massage that worked wonders. Then Matt dropped me off at my hair appt. and he spent an hour or so hitting golf balls at the driving range. We went and got some lunch and TCBY yogurt and then headed for our next stop. The movies!!! We had so much fun! You could say this was a belated 5year anniversary gift (or combine all of our anniversaries into this). For those of you who don't know me I am somewhat a frugal person. So even though it sounded like we spent a lot on this weekend (which some of it I actually paid for) but a lot of it was gift cards given to us a Christmas time or coupons I had saved. So for those of you who don't have a lot of money I definitely recommend asking relatives for gift cards for special holidays/birthdays, etc.
