Our 13th anniversary is Monday. He had planned a surprise night away for us! He asked his parents to watch our boys, made the reservation, packed our bags (was wondering where my jogger pants were) and set up dinner reservations.
I had no idea at all... Until his brother spilled the beans and shared the surprise with me. His brother knew I wasn't to know, but oh well. My dh is totally bummed, but I am so blessed that he did all that planning. It's the thought that counts right.
So Sunday night we will be staying at a coastal resort with cabins. It's actually where we stayed on our wedding night before flying out the next day for our honeymoon 
I can't wait!!

How awesome of your husband to do all of that! Too bad his brother sucks.
Is he ready to kill his brother? I know I'd want to beat my brother to a bloody pulp in that scenario.

Why did his brother tell you??? I have no clue what goes on in his head haha. He was talking to me about the grandkids (our two kids and his daughter) staying at his parent's house Sunday night. I looked at him like he was crazy and told him it was news to me. So sort of in a round about way, but still spilled the beans.
My dh was pretty bummed.

You know, for me the hardest part of getting away is the planning. What an amazing gift. The surprise being blown doesn't take away from that at all. You have a great attitude and a great husband. Enjoy yourself!

It was so awesome of him! We will still have a great time! He is a bit upset with his brother, but thankfully my dh can get over things fairly quickly.

my mom wouldn't tell my uncle anything that was a surprise to my dad because he would never keep his big fat mouth shut. If there was a party, he didn't know until that day. lol.
They're both gone now so it doesn't matter but man my mom would get PISSED.
Enjoy your weekend!!

First have a great time. Second I am really impressed with your husband.. My DH. Started to plan a trip away for our 25th anniversary. He contacted our travel agent back then but eventually thought I should take it from there. We had 4 kids & 3 dogs that we had to plan for.

Your brother-in-law's gaffe only spoils it if you allow it, too. And it sounds like you both are taking it in stride. The take-away is that he can never be told a secret again!
Have a great time! It sounds like a lot of fun and how nice that he tied it in to such a meaningful location.

My great grandmother was known for not being able to keep a secret. My mom had my brother when I was 13. Gram ruined the shower by saying, "I probably shouldn't tell you this, but...."  I wish I could say most of my memories of that woman are fond, but they are mostly about how selfish she was. |

Have a great time! My DH is like your BIL. He doesn't mean to spoil a surprise, but he just has no filter and blurts things out without thinking.
