My Husband is the Best!

Marc surprised me the other day with a great gift; a night away. Very unexpected! He had made all the arrangements to have my aunt watch Andrew for a night while we took a little trip to Shreveport. We stayed at the Horseshoe Casio Hotel and had a great time. When we got there Marc had book a massage and a facial for me, yay! It was so nice to get to relax and be pampered. We had soooo much fun. Marc even doubled our gambling money by the time we left and that led our rooms and meals being comped; even better!

We both like playing table games and that usually means that you get to talk a bit to the people at the table with you. Well, the first night we met a retired Secret Service Agent. He actually had been on Nixon's Presidential detail. How cool was that. He was doing very well at the table and then did something that shocked everyone. He gave everyone playing at the table a $100! Can you believe that? How very generous!

Later that night night we met an older lady for the metorplex area. She was very nice and easy to talk to. Now that lady was serous about her being there to gamble. We (Marc mostly) played at or around table with her all night. Then the next afternoon after we'd checked out and ate lunch we went back to play a bit before heading home, she was still there. Yes, sitting at the same table, playing the same game and in the same clothes! After we sat down next to her she said "I can sleep when I am home, I am here to have a good time". She hadn't even left to go eat. Her friend came to check on here and ask if she'd eaten and she told her she would go in a bit. Um, I don't think her friend meant eating the olives out of her bloody mary, that was also what she had been drinking the night before. Luckily, in my opinion, there weren't very strong drinks there. She was very nice though and fun to talk to.

I can't say how nice and needed this little daycation was. I am grateful to Marc for doing this for me. Especially right now. If you read my Follicle Follies, you know why. Let's hope we weren't just lucky gambling. ;) I am sure that was part of his motivation in doing this, taking a bit of the stress out of TTC this time.

Meanwhile, Andrew had a blast at his GAM's house. He just loves her little dog Scooter. She told me that whatever they did Andrew would ask "Scooter come too?". How cute is that? He even slept in a big boy bed while he was there. Good to know he can do it, but I am not ready to release him from "jail" at home just yet. He is going to be there until I need the crib for someone else.

Now it is back to reality, even if I was only gone for one night. I LOVE you Marc, thanks!
