Oh Canada!!

Yesterday was just the best day. It was a nice day all around. :) I got to talk to Auntie Shirley for awhile and Dana. :) I got to pick out a bunch of Silpada Jewelry for myself and Tim surprised me with a really great anniversary present! Usually he calls a few times during the day or I call him....but not yesterday. He just showed up around 4:30. We talked for awhile and then he disappeared! I could hear Alaina and Erik "whispering" from the office...I'm a mom, they think I can't hear them!! I was told to stay in the kitchen and out comes Alaina and E with a big black bag. Inside was a new, big, cool piece of hipster mountainy green Llbean luggage. Very cool. Inside was a brown, North Face, hooded sweatshirt. :) Warm and cozy...I put it on right away! Am I going somewhere??! I was told to dig deeper....wow! A lunch box! Well, actually it is suppose to be a makeup bag with a zipper. Well, close!! And, I was told to dig deeper. I pulled out a slack of papers....on the top was the weather for Banff, Canada for next week!! Could it be??!! YES!! We are going on vactation! Just the two of us for 4 days!! :) I couldn't believe it. We went there on our honeymoon....its so beautiful esp. in the fall!!

Tim said he had a hard time keeping in his excitement for 6 weeks. He did good! He also said he had a lot of ideas.....south? Beach? Vegas? Washington? But, if you know Tim, you know he is a Mountain guy. We both LOVE it up there.

We picked up our babysitter and went out for a nice dinner. Last night was the first night I wore my boots with heels and slipped a little walking to our table! Luckily a lady sitting at the bar caught me! It was more that I caught her!! Little embarrassing moment, but it didn't bother me too much. Its just a funny thing to talk about. Those moments aren't new to me!

After dinner we went to Costco. I mean, what's a date without a trip to Costco??!! We didn't even need to buy anything b/c I just stocked up on Wednesday! So, it was a more relaxing stroll around the store to see what was new.

We were back at 9. A little early, but its sure nice being home when the house is quiet. And, that's when I gave Tim his card. Its actually the card I bought last year! Amy's little Vincenzo was born on the 2nd, so we buzzed up to MI and Tim had business in Nebraska. We weren't together anyway! I just saved it for this year....I guess the trip is the present for both of us. :)
