Excited!!!!

I AM TOTALLY EXCITED!!! This Friday, I turn 29 years old,and then on Saturday, not only is it Valentine's Day, but our TENTH anniversary!! Yes, I said TENTH!!!! 10!!! A Decade!!!! I know. It seems like not that long, but it has been ten years since we said I do. Jason was going to surprise me and he took the entire week off of work, so we could go away, but then Jetta had puppies. Since it is way too cold to have them outside (It snowed again yesterday) the puppies and Jetta are living in the kids bathroom. Why does this matter in this posting. because, we can't leave the puppies to go away. Jetta has to be let out every few hours during the day. Then once we go to bed, she is good until morning. Well, so, anyhow....back to the anniversary. So, we can't go away as planned. I was bummed. I really REALLY wanted to go do something. (Maybe try for a "Honeymoon" baby since we never had a honeymoon ten years ago).
So, on Saturday, I was feeling sad, and I said to Jay, why can't we just go away for one night. Maybe Stephi will stay with the kids. Jetta and the puppies are a big prob. All she would have to do is put her out before she goes to bed and again in the morning. The rest, Aiden can do (Aiden's chore is to feed the dogs and he is quite good at it.). He said, ok, why didn't I think about that. Let's ask. So, we called Stephi and asked. She said she would check with Mike (her boyfriend) to make sure he didn't haev plans and get back to me. Not even ten minutes later, she called and said, ok, I can do it. I'll be up Friday after school. She gets out at 9:50 AM, so that means she will be here before noon. And the kids don't have school, so they are super excited to spend the day with her! All she asked is that we come home so they can go out on Saturday night. So, we were SO excited. Then, I called my Aunt Judi, who lives in Vegas, and she said she could get us tickets to see the Blue Man Group for half price. (We've seen them twice before and really enjoy their show!) SO NOW WE ARE SUPER EXCITED!
But wait, it gets better. So, we were planning on going up Friday when Stephi gets here, seeing the show, and then staying the night. Then in the morning, having breakfast and then head home. But then Desi and Manny came up this weekend and they offered to come over on Saturday and stay with the kids so Stephi could go with Mike and we can stay in Vegas longer. So now, we get to stay all day in Vegas if we want. We are staying at the Trump Hotel. It is a non-smoking, no casino, hotel. It is brand new, and all the reviews say that it is super quiet! (Probably from the no smoking, no casino! It is perfect for us!)
Then, I was thinking, awwww man, I won't get to go to my birthday dinner at North Woods Inn. We were supposed to go on Friday, but now we'll be in Vegas. But Jay said that when the kids get home from school on Thursday, we can go. So I get my birthday dinner a day early with my family, and then get to go away and have a fun, relaxing time with my hubby. I can't wait! It will be great! I will make sure I take my camera and post pics when we get back. I"M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!
