Early Mother's Day surprise!

Ben and Delilah decided to surprise me with an early Mother’s Day gift (since he’ll be in Norway on actual Mother’s Day).  They kept it a big secret (Delilah is so good at secret keeping), and I still had no idea what was going on up until the last minute!  

We left the house and did our errands, picked up pizza and drove to a friend’s house.  Now, at this point I’m thinking that maybe he’s gotten a babysitter and all the kids are hanging out while we go out…and before I thought we (the 3 of us) were going to go see a movie together…but then we walk in the house and he says, “Ok, now you and Krissy go enjoy lunch at Ayame and get a pedicure after.  Kids are here with us.  Love you!”  It was honestly such a sweet surprise to get away and just do something for ME, which I rarely do, and I know that he’s so appreciative at all the work I’ve put in with the move, finding a car, finding a house, etc…on top of just normal day to day stuff. It’s just nice to be appreciated.  I’m going to have to figure out something really special for him on Father’s Day, even though we will be apart. 

So after over 4 years, I had a pedicure. My feet look great. I have mermaid toes.  

Now it’s just Delilah and I for a few days, and it brings me back to the year apart in Korea and the 2 months apart during his training in 2014, and it’s strange but familiar.  

Having a garage sale this weekend, and anything we don’t sell is getting donated.  I’m not bringing more stuff to another house that I don’t want.  No more junk.  No more unnecessary stuff.  I want what we need/want in the new house.  

Now I’m currently almost falling asleep as I type this, so I need to go do my bedtime routine, stretch, and read until I fall asleep.  Hope everyone had an excellent week and wakes up to a beautiful Friday!!!

Ok, now onto the weekly stuff.  Ben worked evenings this week, so we were thrown off a bit.  

Planned for a yard sale all week with some friends, and sold quite a bit of stuff over the weekend.  Saturday and Sunday were spent outside hanging with friends and making some easy money.  

Found out what Ben and our friend Eddy have been planning in secret...they planned a FREAKING TRIP TO PARIS FOR US!  Amanda, Liz, and I will be heading to Paris via train on Friday morning for a weekend girls' trip!  
Catacombs!
Eiffel Tower!
Moulin Rouge!
Notre Dame!
(I'd like to go to the Louvre, but I'm saving that for another trip)

We are also going to the HARRY POTTER EXHIBITION!!!  Props, costumes, and basically a huge walkthrough of authentic Harry Potter stuff!  Like 10,000square feet.  I'm beyond excited.

I have never had a girls' trip before.  The only time I've left Delilah overnight, it's been with my mom and I've always come back early morning the next day.  
I obviously have full confidence that Ben and Delilah are going to have the BEST time.  

I'm so excited, and I just can't believe he planned this for me!  What a wonderful surprise!!!


We had a BBQ at Seewog on Saturday.  This is Eddy. Delilah loves Eddy.  

Delilah also loves Loki.

The gorgeous weather allowed us to get out on a new trail...and we found a log cabin!


Enjoy the week, I know I will!
