We celebrated a day early since Gordie had off on Wednesday(12/14). We went to dinner at Olive Garden which was delicious as usual and then briskly walked the mall to get rid of that "overly stuffed" feeling. We really didn't know what else to do with ourselves without Baker! We didn't have enough time for a movie but knew it would be fun to get in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas traffic roaming the mall.
Gordie and I agreed that since we just bought a house and that in itself is a huge expense that we wouldn't get each other gifts this year. However, during dinner at OG, he slid a white folded piece of paper over to me and I just knew he had something up his sleeve! I think I remembered saying, Gordie...I thought we weren't exchanging gifts! Well, I opened it and to my surprise we are FINALLY going on a honeymoon...to...JAMAICA!!! That's right, we will be leaving January 13th and coming back on the 17th...spending a nice long MLK weekend on the white sandy beaches of the Couples Swept Away all inclusive resort!! He planned the entire trip himself and had it booked through a travel agency here in town but I given him a lot of credit. He knows my OCD gets in the way and usually takes over and he did such a great job planning the entire trip right under my nose without me finding out. Here's a picture of how he told me!
Ahhhh! We are so excited and cannot wait to go although I know we are going to miss Baker like CRAZY!!! He will be in good hands with my parents and the resort has an internet cafe so I'm sure I'll be making a trip or two or several down there. However, we are so in need of a little getaway and this was the most perfect present I never thought we would get to enjoy together. I can't wait!
So fun!
