Lucky Girl....

Good Morning all, I hope you had a great weekend. I surely did... I am one lucky girl this morning. William and I got to get away by ourselves for the whole weekend. With NOT one kid. We haven't done that since January 2004. So it was a much needed break. I wasn't really sure about leaving Landon for that long but I enjoyed every second of it. My wonderful wonderful husband surprised me with reservations at the Reunion Tower, which for those of you who don't know, is the big Ball Restaurant you see down town Dallas. It was absolutely fantastic. It's like a one time deal, ya know. Not like you can afford to eat like that more than once a life time. But it was so wonderful. The food was phenomenal and the view was spectacular. It was really neat to see all of Dallas like that and especially when the sun went down. He got some sweetheart getaway package deal. So we also stayed the night there. Oh man was that wonderful. I've never slept so good. The bed was something else. We also went to the Sixth Street Museum (the JFK Museum). That was very interesting. It was neat to learn more about it all. I didn't really know that much other than the basics. Then, on Saturday William took me to Granbury, Texas. There's all kinds of neat shops to visit and then that evening we went to a 50's show (like a Branson show, but on a smaller version). It was nice as well. Best of all though was that hotel room had a Jacuzzi in it. That was super nice. I tried to be all romantic and lite a bunch of candles and then had the bright idea of adding bubbles. Yeah! not so bright. Don't do that. I just added a tiny bit but as you can imagine they kept growing and growing. William and I had too laugh. All we could do was keep trying to keep them all off the floor. I finally said, well it would be nice if I could see you. But the bubbles took over. Even though, it was still romantic. It was the thought that counted, I guess. I just have the best husband ever. He's wonderful! I can truly say He's my very best friend and the complete love of my life. I could absolutely want for nothing more. Through all the tough times we've had in the last few years, he has 100% stood by me, held me up when needed and encouraged me to keep going and continue being the best I can be. It's not been easy and there's been times I've wanted to give up but He's been right behind me cheering me on. God has so richly blessed me. Oh, and yes, Williams parents survived the kids. And they were not waiting in the car when we got here either. (We joked all weekend that we might find them waiting in the car when we got home.) They all seemed to have a great time together. And as usual, my house was spic and span when I returned, with all laundry done and ready to go. How lucky am I? I also have a wonderful mother-in-law. She almost always leaves my house way cleaner than when she came. She's a jewel. Anyways, just thought I'd share my weekend. I hope you all have a great weekend too. Although, I'm sure not as fun as mine.... LOL :)

LOL... No, but William and I laughed and said we sure wish we had the camera. I had left it with my in laws because they forgot theirs. I sure kicked myself later though. I sure needed to take pictures. Especially of the bubbles. LOL...
