Life can move pretty fast and if you don't stop to take a break every now and then, it will pass you by.
This last week was really busy for us. The kids and their after school activities, miscellaneous business meetings and birthday parties have kept us going non-stop. After all of the commotion, my wife and I decided that we would take the weekend off from the kids and everything we have going on.
My wife does everything she can for me, to help keep the house going as my business keeps me on my toes. I love her dearly and I wanted to give her something special for the weekend.
She has a boy toy that she likes to play with from time to time, but doesn't get to play with him as often as she would like. I know that it had been a while since they had a chance to mess around with each other, and I wanted to give it to her.
I called him up and said that we were going to skip town for the weekend, and that it was a special surprise for her. Once I told him what I had on my mind, he was signed up and ready to go. I told him to meet us at the airport around 7 o'clock.
On my way home from the office, I called my wife and told her that I wanted to take her out of town for the weekend, and that she should find a sitter for the children. Grandma loves to watch the kids, but I'm sure that she loves to give them back just as much, as they can be a hand full from time to time.
Grandma came to stay with the kids for the weekend, and as I pulled up into the driveway, I saw that my wife was already packed and ready to go. I could tell that she was more than ready for the get-a-way. That was all I needed to know, and boy was she in for a lot of trouble.
I loaded the car and kissed the kids goodbye. They were glad to see Grandma was staying the weekend, but no one more so than I. We told them that we would be back in the morning, and then we would go out for breakfast. With that being said, I gave Grandma a tight hug, a kiss on the cheek and we were out the door.
On our way to the airport, and my wife was extremely excited to get away for the weekend. She kept asking me where we were going to go, and I kept telling her that it's a surprise, and she would have to wait to find out. And if she is anything like your wife, she really doesn't like surprises.
We arrived at the airport and they folks at the FBO had the plane ready and waiting for me outside the hangar. We loaded our baggage into the plane, but her boy-toy was late. I played it off and went back out to the car while she finished getting ready. Just as I went out to the car, he came rolling in.
When we walked out to the plane together, her eyes got really big, and the smile on her face became even brighter. She walked up to him with an advanced pace and jumped up into his arms and laid her lips onto his. It was good to see this kind of excitement from her!
I smiled, because I knew that this night was going to be an extraordinary one, perhaps a night that she would remember for a long time. I have a pretty wild imagination, and often times my imagination does become a reality.
