I am Thankful and Grateful : Day 27

I am thankful for little surprises.

My wonderful husband was able to keep a secret from me for a month.  He planned for us to go to Anna Maria Island and stay at the condo our friend gets.  And this was a huge thing since we don't have a lot of money.  We just had to have the gas to get there.  After last week I really needed it.  Even more so after the last couple of months.  My stress level is through the roof.  So it was nice to unplug and be ALONE with my husband.  We have had my parents or his watch the boys, but we just would go out to dinner.  We have not had a night alone just the two of us since the night we got married.  We didn't meet up with friends, or go to someones house, or with a group of people any place.  Just the two of us. Its not that I don't like to be around our people.  But its really nice to get to go away even for a night and be alone.

We had several walks on the beach and we enjoyed being together.  It was one of the best gifts that he has given me.
