yesterday tyler texted me half way through the day, "can you get someone to babysit tonight? let's go on a date, i have a surprise for you".
i was curious and thought i had it figured out but was anxious to find someone to watch riley. my normal babysitters were busy so finally at 4 i called kari and asked if riley could come play and she said yes! i put riley in front of a video so i could hop in the shower (i was still in sweats, of course) and hastily made myself presentable for this mysterious date. we dropped riley off and were on our way.
he asked if anything sounded good/bad but that he had a place in mind because it was fitting for the surprise. as soon as we pulled up to coconut kenny's, i knew. i waited patiently while we ordered and chit chatted and got our food. FINALLY half way through eating tyler presented me with a card and inside it read: "Thinking of you, me, and riley in Maui".
an early anniversary gift - to return to the place where our marriage and new life together began almost 7 years ago! i am still in total and utter shock and beyond excited. we will go in may (we'll be there on our anniversary) and it will have been almost 5 years since i've been back. we spent the rest of our date talking about every single thing we wanted to do, places we wanted to go, a few friends we wanted to see...oh the sweet memories we have from that place! and to take riley will be amazing. what more does a little kid need than a shovel and miles and miles of sand and ocean?
we are excited over here and totally consumed with thoughts of beach and sun!!!
oh, and in case you were wondering, tyler scored an AMAZING deal on tickets, plus used some air miles. very, very affordable. so go find yourself a deal!
