I'm doing something crazy I planned a surprise getaway and I know she knows I
would never plan anything like this which is why it's crazy that I'm planning
something like this today's Danielle's 30th birthday
she doesn't think we have anything planned we're going to dinner tonight
that's what all she knows she's like oh we're gonna dinner great that's what we do
every year but it's her 30th birthday this year I wanted to make it really special
for her so I planned a surprise getaway I'm freaking out about it because she
doesn't know I've been planning this for like a week and a half two weeks now and I know
she knows I would never plan anything like this which is why it's crazy that
I'm planning something like this so this is how I'm doing it got a card I'm just
gonna put our hotel reservation print it out and slide it in there and give this
to her right at dinnertime so I'm excited this is like two weeks of
planning coming to fruition so here we go
okay Danielle's feeding the baby so I'm taking this opportunity to sneak out
with all our stuff and put it in our car we're leaving now it's about to be go
time
she's good happy birthday you picked a card because
I remember on Valentine's Day you said that they were all ugly.
The camera's making me a little nervous. Do I have to read it out loud?
If you can read my hand writing.
To my best friend!
I love that I get to spend my life with you that I get to laugh with you talk
with you begin and end each day with you that is really true we do I love
everything we share together most of all I love you very much
Danielle I marriage you Oh IN marriage you can do two things you can grow
together or you can grow apart through all the ups and downs in life if you
have stuck beside me even when you may not have agreed with my decisions
Lord, that's true you have deserved far greater things than I could even afford
to give you. What's this? yet you've been content and because of all this we've
learned to grow together man Jon. where many have failed in
What does that say? oh in their vows we have triumphed. you don't think so?
I was just wondering if you even remember our vows?
I do.
Learning from mistakes instead of holding grudges and I love you for it
so this weekend I'm more than glad to spoil
you like you deserve happy birthday love you Jon. spoil me?
what is this? It's a massage.
what is that what I have questions
Is this for me, for us? it's for us
What about the kids?
my mom is gonna stay my mom's gonna stay ok till
Sunday and our neighbors are gonna help Becka is gonna help. seriously? a lot and
Melissa's gonna help and I knew that this would not happen if I don't have
everything together so I got everything packed if I forgot anything we'll just buy it.
Oh my gosh I didn't even think about clothes!
I packed you clothes.
and I packed just stuff for the baby
and everything that I think we need and if we did something I just just get it while we're out.
okay I'm still a little nervous is gonna do it
me too
ok that doesn't make me feel any better
we're just gonna do it
well I was gonna go like to the mountains or something like that but I was like you know
what I like we'll just stay local do a little staycation if you will so
if anything goes wrong we're right down the street and we can go home if
we need to but hopefully everything goes well so that's the plan
okay I feel
excited I feel a little nervous leaving the kids always makes me a little
nervous but I do feel like I'm finally at a place of like being maybe I need it
yes you said it like 3 or 4 times in the last week and I was like YES I'm making the right decision.
I feel like I've been saying that a lot I just want...
well this is your birthday weekend extravaganza and this
is just the beginning of it the melting pot we ate at melting pot
okay I like
that now especially because I've always wanted a birthday weekend.
Does your mom know to message us if she needs anything?
yes I will text her tonight too and just
make sure that if you have anything that needs to be said we can send it over.
Are you happy?
I'm trying to! I'm a little bit like
We're in the middle of a hug almost.
Thank you.
happy 30th birthday you're old!
okay I am excited but I'm also nervous and I
will probably want to text your mom like 100 times
well go for it
if we didn't already put
the kids in bed I would be texting her already
no I need it
well you deserve it
I need a break.
Well let's go
Where we going?
the Renaissance yep North Hills yeah okay

nights guys. it says two nights!

some of the good stuff babe it's look at this room Wow yeah look at that oh my
gosh oh my gosh it's big quiet and baths are my love languages they
baby that's gonna be hungry but all my goodness okay I want to like I just took
a shower today I want a shower this is awesome this I'm
like officially about a thousand times more excited
very nice hotel I said Barry my voice went all crackly because I'm like
excited this is why all these adults are up late they're all party so I picked
this area because it's North Hills Renaissance Hotel and there's like shops
and all kinds of stuff around here so we can kind of like just hang out we don't
have to drive anywhere if we don't want to we can literally do exactly what I
said I always like I just want a day you know during the day or we can go just do
whatever like in my head that looks like going shopping walking to just stores
that I could never go with my kids in tow
and we just don't have enough time when we have a sitter for two hours like
right this is literally my dream I couldn't even have thought of it cuz I
didn't think of it I couldn't remember thought of this thank you thank you
something I'm just so excited I'm a million times excited now lit this is
gonna be the most epic staycation well we're here for two days so let's enjoy
it all right guys well thanks for hanging
out with us I think I did a good surprise
you know good surprise at first I wasn't sure how I felt about it okay
I'm gonna be honest here I was putting on a happy face for the camera because I
was like you know how I feel about this it stresses me out a little but being
here and really thinking about it on the drive
or like I can just text your mom whatever yeah she needs anything we're
close enough like Hello that's the benefit of a staycation if
you'd been like working on mountains I would be like no we're not considered um
no we're not but yeah I want to worry this is way better
oh this is amazing and like I say even just walking in the doors here like I
any like anxiety that I felt about it he's gone
I was checking just there to see if there was a little bit it's nothing
there's not all right it's exact well I'm gonna cut off because I'm ready to
enjoy this so we'll see you guys next video make sure you see the next video
because there's another surprise yet to come that she is most likely completely
unaware of so surprising or - thank you
