Surprise Weekend

My husband decided to pamper me Valentine's weekend. He started off by telling me to pack a bag for the weekend and that I was not coming home until after church on Sunday. I was not allowed to ask any questions. We had plans for lunch on Friday and the big surprises started after that. He arranged for me to have a half day of vacation and then treated me to a pedicure, manicure, facial and a prenatal massage. Once he joined me later that evening, we had dinner and spent some time together at the casino in French Lick. He's so amazing. It was just such good timing as I have been really stressed with the work situation and experiencing a lot of lower back pain with the pregnancy. I needed this relaxation time. On Saturday I had my baby shower with family and close friends. My family then joined us for dinner in French Lick and a tour of the West Baden Hotel. Alex, Breanna and I crashed in early. Just when I thought all surprises were over, I arrived home to another surprise Sunday after church. I thought my family was coming over for pizza and after lunch the girls were all going to go to Home Depot to pick out paint for the nursery and the guys were going to stay back and watch the IU game. Well, those weren't exactly the plans as my nursery had already been painted and decorated by my family. While Alex and I were away for the weekend, he made arrangements for my dad to paint the nursery on Friday evening. Then, when my family left us in French Lick Saturday evening they came back to our house and decorated my entire nursery with everything I got from the shower earlier that day. They had everything taken out of boxes and put together. I was soooooooo surprised. Thanks to the wonderful husband I have and the great families we have, this will be one weekend i will never forget.
