It's decided

For the past 8 months, Chad and I have been debating on where to go and what to do for our 10 year wedding anniversary. About 5 months ago the secret was out that Chad had been for some time now planning a "surprise" 10 year wedding anniversary trip/celebration in Las Vegas, NV for us and any of our friends/family that wanted to join in. Those of you that know me know that I don't like surprises. Now to give myself some credit, I had an inkling that Chad had something up his sleeve with relation to Las Vegas and the Bellagio, since that is where he proposed to me at. I didn't know all the other details he had told everyone already.

I didn't want to ruin his plans or surprise, but I just didn't feel like that was the trip I wanted to make. So since then we have thought we would go to Turks & Caicos to celebrate. My perfect getaway destination; a beach, somewhat private, sun, sand, drinks, relaxing, lots of rest, and did I mention sun??!! Well not really Chad's cup of tea. So then we threw in the idea of New York City. Cold, winter, snow, ice skating in Rockefeller Center, seeing a Broadway show, going to Serendipity, standing outside the Today show, cold, winter, and did I mention snow??!! Not really my cup of tea. Do you see our dilemma here??

Well a week ago I got a message from a friend who said she heard a rumor about Garth Brooks playing in Las Vegas. Hello!! Garth Brooks!! Las Vegas!! For those of you that don't know, I L-O-V-E Garth Brooks. To put it mildly. Funny, yes. Silly, yes. Not for everyone, yes. Ok, but still I was super excited. So this past Thursday there was a press conference at the Wynn Casino and YES indeed Garth Brooks will be playing at the Encore in Las Vegas for 16 weekends a year for the next 5 years! And yes, our anniversary weekend in February is one of those weekends. Yippee!!!!!!

Decision made!

We have booked our room at the Wynn/Encore Casino for a weeks stay in February. We have our airline tickets purchased. Now we just have to cross our fingers that on Saturday when we call in we can buy tickets to one of the Garth Brooks shows playing the weekend we are there. Just 1 minor thing. At this point I am crossing my fingers, praying, begging, and just about pleading this happens.

We have invited all our friends and family. There will be some renewel of vows ceremony and party/celebration somewhere, but at this point that all depends on the GB show we get tickets to.

Wish us luck on Saturday. I'll keep you updated!
