As I already posted, my husband made a last minute decision to surprise me with a visit this weekend. It was amazing to have him home, and because he got let out of work early, he got into town around 5 (earlier than expected). Last time I got to see him was 2 weeks ago when I went down to SD to see him...and believe it or not...2 weeks (no matter how fast it seemed to have gone by now) can feel like a lifetime. When I look back I feel that it went pretty fast, but when I saw Matthew and hugged & kissed him...I felt like it had been forever since the last time I got to do that.
We went to dinner after he got into town, but other than that, we pretty much just crawled into bed and cuddled watching TV...he was pretty tuckered out from work and the drive.
Saturday, I already had plans made with my mom to go shopping for baby shower stuff. That was so much fun hanging out with Cathy and my mom for a few hours, but my mommy understood that Matthew was home and she got me back to him as quickly as she could, lol, and go figure...hubby wasn't there and wifey didn't bring anything (purse or keys) except the cell phone...so I called him to find out where he was at, and let him know I was locked out lol. He was on the other side of town getting gas and was heading home right then...later on to find out, he got gas all the way across town because he was looking for flowers to surprise me with, but didn't like any of them and when I called him he was just about to head into the store down the street from us to look at their flower selection. How sweet is he? He is so spontaneous and adorable. For no reason at all, he just wanted to get me flowers. Anyway, we went to Pony Espresso and he said, "Anything you and Kylie girl want." I laughed and said, "ANYTHING?" I was going to get a sweet tea and he asked if that was really all I wanted. I asked him, "What do you mean?" He said, "Well, I figured you would get a snickers thingy or something." I don't usually get those unless I have a free drink (which they don't do anymore anyway) because they are too expensive. I ended up getting a Spice Chai (Yum!) and we headed to Wal-Mart to look for a few things he needed for work. We got home and relaxed for a few when he asked if I was ready for dinner, I wasn't quite ready and he informed me that he didn't want to go too late...so we decided to go around 5:30. We played some Wii bowling, tennis, and golf to pass the time. It was so much fun, he kicked my butt at bowling and tennis and told Kylie that he beat mommy, I said, "yeah, with a tennis racket and a bowling ball (lol) but I beat daddy with a golf club." We headed out for dinner and I asked where we were going...he said somewhere I heard was supposed to be really good. We were heading toward Inyokern, so I'm thinking "Bernadinos is that great..." I asked him if we were going to the Lodge, he said no, that place is too expensive... Well, my husband is really good at surprising people, and sometimes I cant tell if he is hiding something or being serious...he was acting like he didn't know where this place was and he was looking for it, and because the universe is usually in his favor, it just happened that this steak house in Inyokern was closed, so he played off it and said, "What the heck, are they closed for good?" I told him I didn't think so, but its weird that they aren't open on a Saturday around 6. We kept driving....toward the Lodge...that was where he was originally wanting to take me, but he wanted it to be a surprise...even with my nosey butt always trying to figure things out, lol, he was still able to pull it off. We sat by the fireplace...it was dim and romantic. He told me not to worry about $prices$ just order whatever I want...I got the Fillet Mignon...it was perfect! Delicious! I love the salad up there...Matt thinks it tastes dirty, but its amazing and they are famous for it...well that and their home brewed IWV beers and sodas. Then we got a pudding parfait to share...it was so good! After dinner, we rented a movie and headed home. Just having him home was perfect, but everything made it that much more romantic.
Today, he had to head back, but we went to K-Mart first...still needed to find a few things for work (Wal-Mart sucks and doesn't have anything). While we were there, we browsed around the baby clothes and the jewelry. We have been trying to find a necklace for Kylie for when she turns 18 we can give her something we bought when she was born. We found 10K white gold necklaces for 12 bucks...no joke, so Matthew bought me one and we bought Kylie one...they are way cute. He left to go back around 1pm and I headed over to my moms for a visit...then came home and worked on the baby shower door prizes, favors, and necklaces for the "don't say baby" game. My husband made it back safely, and in 5 days I get to see him again for the weekend! I'm so excited...this was a great weekend...only 3 more weeks and he will be graduated and home for good!
