anniversary debrief

So I made it through the entire weekend without screwing up anything that I had planned....it was a total success! For those of you that didn't know this weekend was our celebration for our 4 year anniversary. I must say that I did a pretty good job this year, and I'll describe a bit for ya.

Last week while my wife was out of town on business I met up with a buddy of mine and recorded myself singing a song that I used to sing to Hannah while we were in college. The song's called "nothing fancy", look it up, it's a good one! Anyways, after recording the song I even had a label made for the cd with a picture of us looking at each other. The plan was to take her out to eat and have the restaurant plan the song through their system for everyone to hear. The only problem was that when I went to the restaurant to set it up they told me that they only had radio...no way to play the song....so I improvised. I went and borrowed a small sound system from a buddy of mine and took it back up to the place. The lady told me that she would set it up before we got there, they were really nice about helping me! The second part of the plan was for the waitress to bring out Hannah's gift after we finished our meal. The gift was a shootsac (bag for Hannah to keep camera junk in while shooting) and she has been wanting one for a LONG time! The last part of the plan was to spend the night at a resort at the beach....just the two of us ;-)

Here's how it all went down: We arrived at the restaurant. As we were walking up to our seat everyone was looking at us, mainly bc they wanted to know who was going to sit at the table with the music playing next to it. Some of the women we passed were just amazed at how sweet I was....thanks ladies! Hannah was taken back by the whole thing, and couldn't believe that I put myself out there like that.....it was a bold move I must say, but she deserved it! I will have to admit that it was a little weird sitting at the table with my song playing for everyone to hear while we just looked at each other smiling...Hannah said I turned red, but I didn't care. After the meal I actually had to go and remind the waitress to bring out Han's gift, but I acted like I had to used the restroom, and played it cool. She LOVED the gift! Then we left, caught a movie, and went to our extravagant room.....that place was CRAZY nice.....and did I mention that was free?

We woke up the next morning and went to eat a nice breakfast together. After that we headed off the the pool, and chilled out there until it was time to leave for dinner. The pool was nice, but the sunburn is still kicking my butt!!! Overall a GREAT weekend retreat!

The only bad thing about the whole thing is that now I have to do it up even bigger next year!!!!!!!!
