numbers 18 and 36 (plus room 400)



last saturday, I surprised ward.



(which would be number 36 off the list)





I surprised him with a night at the ace hotel.



(which would be number 18 off the list)



sort of an unofficial very belated 14th wedding anniversary celebration, if you will. something to make up for the great wall of socks.



yeah, he was surprised.



and yeah, it was pretty fantastic.





that's all I'm going to say.



I do not kiss and tell.

The room is beautiful. I love the wall behind the bed. I need to do this sometime. After 17 years of marriage, I still have never done this.

Glad you had a great surprise up your sleeve. How fun!

And glad you are back to posting. The lack of your blogging has left a void in my daily computer time. :)
