Birthday Boy

I have been waiting to write this blog post for a while now! Actually since February! I planned the best birthday surprise for Shawn and it took everything inside of me to keep this big secret from him. Everytime I was around my family, they would just laugh because they couldn't believe I wasn't telling him yet. In fact, I think everyone in Kaysville knew about it besides Shawn. I'd tell everyone! So thanks everyone for not telling him!! HA.

I've actually had everything booked since February 26 to be exact. So for almost 3 months, he had no idea. It was really hard the closer it got. Especially because there were many nights, Shawn and I would be sitting next to each other on the couch and a Disney commercial came on and he'd say "Lets plan a trip to Disneyland" and I would say something like, "Not right now hun." It was really hard. The day before was a lot worse. I was getting way too excited. I kept myself really really busy that day and away from Shawn so I wouldn't spill the big surprise.

The night before, we packed our bags. That was hard too because I had to tell him what to pack without telling him where we were going. And make up some excuse why we had to have a suitcase instead of a little duffel bag. After we packed up our things, we were laying on the bed talking and and it hit me that we were about to go to Disneyland the next morning. I got REALLY excited and Shawn could tell I was getting hyper! Then we went to bed, and it was the worst sleep ever. I woke up at 7am and decided to go make him breakfast. I surprised him with breakfast in bed and told him to hurry and eat and get ready.

We both got ready and it was about 8:45 am at this point, and I told him to sit on the couch.
This is how I told him:

 It was hilarious. When he opened it, he just looked at me and said, "We are going to Disneyland?" and I just started laughing way hard. and I said "Yeah babe, we are leaving in an hour!" and he did NOT believe me. I finally showed him the tickets and the flight itinerary and he almost cried! He grabbed me and gave me the biggest hug and kiss! It was perfect.

My mom picked us up and took us to the airport.

This was our first time every flying together.It was really fun. We got on the airplane and the whole time Shawn kept saying, SERIOUSLY EM! WE ARE GOING TO DISNEYLAND! 

 Once we landed, I arranged a driver to pick us up, so he was waiting for us. He picked us up and took us to our hotel to drop our bags off and straight to Disneyland we went! Oh my gosh, if you guys don't already know this, you do now. We are OBSESSED with Disneyland. We were more excited than little kids. This was our 3rd time to Disneyland together and we haven't even been married for a year! HA! We are crazy.

Thursday: So fun. Not very crowded. We went on almost every ride in Disneyland.

Friday: Disneyland was open from 6am-6am. Yep, 24 hours! But we weren't that crazy. We went to California Adventure all day. We got there around 8:30 and around 3pm it got really busy. We left the park at 11:30 and there were more people entering the park than leaving. It was getting reallllllly crazy.

 This was really cool. We got to watch a 12 minute sneak peak of Maleficent.

Saturday: CRAZY busy. But still so fun! And his birthday!

Sunday: We came home. And it was so hard to come home. Our trip was not long enough but it was so fun to get away with my husband for a little bit. I can't wait for our next vacation!

Coming home from vacations are always hard because you have to go back to work. Spending every second with him was perfect. Monday we spend the whole day side by side. It was memorial day so we didn't work. It was nice to be with him all day. I love him so much and I'm so glad that I got to do this for him. He deserved it. And I hope it was a birthday he will never forget :)
