A Surprise Weekend Getaway

It's amazing how God always knows what we need, sometimes before we even know!!!! Such is the case with my husband.  God knew exactly what I needed in a husband.  He knew my needs,  dreams and desires. God gave me everything I had ever asked for and what I had only dreamed of but never asked.
Eph. 3:20 says that "Now unto him that is exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think....."
And that is just what God did, He did exceedingly abundantly above. I'm still in awe at the amazing man God choose just for me.

This weekend my husband whisked me away on a surprise weekend getaway. And might I add. ..a much needed one!!!!! He had been carefully planning this for months.  It started off on Valentines Day with a sweet card telling me that I was in for a  surprise the next Saturday. He also told me not to make any plans for the next weekend cause we needed a slow weekend.
Well on Wednesday he sent me a txt that told me to pack and how to pack!!! He told me to also pack for the little man that he was staying with his Nana....whoohoo!!!! And the only other piece of information he would give out was that we would leave Thursday evening after I got finished teaching piano.
Boy,  Thursday evening could not get here fast enough! !!!!

When I was finished with piano,  the boys picked me up,  we had a nice dinner and we were off to Nana's house.  We stayed there for the night and had a wonderful time laughing at Arlee....

Yes...he is playing with sticky bra pads!!!!!
Oh this kid...lol

The next morning we snuck  out while the  little Chicken Nugget was still asleep and we headed off down the road....I still had no idea where we were going. We stopped and had a nice breakfast, but boy was it strangely quiet with just the two of us!!!!!

A few hours later we arrived at our destination...
Hot Springs, Arkansas. Neither of us had ever been. And it did not disappoint.

I got to start my weekend  off with a fun shopping trip to one of my all time faves...Hobby Lobby!!!!

Then after a little shopping and a light lunch my amazing Hubs surprised me again with an envelope!!..it had tickets for a dinner/theater. That is one of my favorite things to do...oh this man gets me

So we dressed up and went to dinner, then downtown for the play......

Afterwards he took me out for dessert. He totally knows my love language!!!!

The next morning he surprised me again with another envelope. This one was for a one hour massage.....a much needed one too might I add! 

 I also got an essential oil that will help with neck pain....I'm very excited about that happy! !!

After the massage we went exploring the city. We found the most quaint little toy store downtown where we got Arlee a few wooden puzzles. I have been on the hunt for some so I was thrilled  to find them. .. one became a little happy for him when we picked him up and the others I'm saving cause they will make a great Easter Basket gift!!

We went to lunch at the best little place, the Dixie Cafe. The food and the service was amazing!!!

Then we found a fun antique store. I found a couple of kid books in great condition. That is another item I'm always looking for.  Arlee loves to "read".
I also found a beautiful pottery bowl....and for $6.
Not too shabby..lol

I was informed that we needed to head back because there was another envelope awaiting me. Woo-hoo!!!!!
This sweet gift was for movie and popcorn. And this thoughtful feller picked out a movie I had been dying to see. Going to a movie is such a fun date for us but we never get the opportunity anymore..so this was a special treat for us.

 After the movie, we did a little more shopping. I found this lovely little lady sitting all alone on clearance.  She was begging  me to take her home. ..so of course I had to.  She was the the cherry on top of the Sunday.  It was amazing how this new spring purse was on clearance.  I had been wanting a blush colored one.  But I could not and would not pay full price for one.  But this very purse in the very color I wanted was there,  on clearance,  all alone.  Was this a coincidence???? Oh. I think not.  God had this little happy there waiting for me.

After an amazing and fast weekend, we packed up and headed home so I could get my hands back on my little firecracker 🔥 

As much as I needed this weekend and this getaway, I was ready to get home and love on my little man.

 All of my goodies... not included in the picture is the pottery (which is already in my china cabinet)
And the books and puzzles. Those have been confiscated by a 2 yr old and the Easter Bunny.

This was most definitely 

an amazing weekend to remember. Maybe one of the best I've ever had in my life. I was spoiled and made to feel like a princess!!..for that,  I will be forever grateful.  Thank you God for the amazing husband you have given me.  I'm undeserving and humbled.
