I usually only have class Fridays until noon, but last Friday I had to study for and take a test. I didn't leave Provo until about 5:30pm, little did I know that I was slightly throwing off Phil's surprise plans for the evening. I got home and hurried and got ready and we left. We started driving towards the DINOSAUR museum when Phil confessed that we actually weren't going to the museum or Denny's. Instead he took me to Texas Road House for dinner. That doesn't start with the letter D but we I love that place so I wasn't complaining. Before we were seated Phil snuck away to make a secret phone call...I knew the surprises were not over! After dinner he revealed the big surprise. He had booked us a room at the Little America hotel for the night. No, it wasn't our anniversary, my birthday, or any other special occasion. It was just a Friday night where my sweetheart decided to surprise me!
On the way to the hotel we had to make a Walmart run to buy toothbrushes. Background story... Shortly after Phil and I were married, he pulled a similar surprise where he took me to a hotel for the night. However, he didn't completely succeed with the surprise aspect because I noticed that several things from our bathroom were missing: both of our toothbrushes, my makeup bag, my brush, etc. I knew something was up. Phil didn't want to risk that happening again so he decided we would just buy new toothbrushes. Smart boy! And I truly was surprised this time. Phil covered his bases. He even bought a disposable camera, poster board, and glue sticks to go along with what he said we were doing. I would've never known.
We had such a fun evening relaxing and enjoying some time away from home, school, and work.
We slept in until 10 the next morning, which was so nice. Especially because Phil and I are both up by 5 or 5:30am during the weekdays. When we woke up, I asked Phil if he brought me a brush and/or a hair elastic. His response, "I didn't want you to notice they were gone. . ." Translation, no he did not haha. No worries, I just went home looking like a homeless woman.
On the way home we stopped at DENNY'S for breakfast. There's that D we have been waiting for.
It was such a fun weekend and we even came home with a little souvenir. . .
Hmmm...why does that souvenir look familiar?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun surprise getaway. Love those. You guys are doing pretty good at the Alphabet date stuff. It's a cute idea. My friend has been doing it for a while and is still going. Good Luck with E.
