Trip to Boston!

Now that Tray’s birthday is over, I can reveal what the final clue represented. The other clues were also numbers that I knew he wouldn't be able to figure out. I just wanted to drive him crazy for the day. :-)They hinted around more toward the Garden (where the Celtics play), but 0437 was our flight number that left at 7:05 the next morning. After all the hints and the box with the tickets, it still didn’t hit him that we were going to Boston. He just assumed it was for Atlanta since we had talked about going the night before. I believe it was Ben and Eric who asked him if he realized where he was going. Thanks to Christy and Laura taking pictures, I have the exact moment it sunk in.

SURPRISE!!!!
As you can see, he was very shocked. This is something that I had been thinking about for almost a year, but wasn’t sure if I would be able to pull it off. However, I do owe a lot of credit to Kim. I was able to use her mileage for a free ticket and she wanted to do the hotel as her gift. Thank You, Kim!

My whole family knew I was just as excited as he was, if not more. This is OUR team and that may be why I love them so much. It's a team we can both cheer for. No“divided house” here. Below, I’ve posted several pictures from our day. Oh and before I forget, thank you Jennifer for watching our baby!!!(Max) . We received a good report when we returned, and were informed we had a very polite dog. LOL His Nanas did not have to be called one time. :-)

For it to only be one day, it was such an amazing trip. I honestly can’t think of a word that would even come close to describe our experience. It just all happened too fast and we tried to soak up every second!

Oh-I told Tray I had one more surprise for him.

Look who's turning 30!

Happy 30th Tray!

Yes, the day is finally here and I’ve been counting the days to say that. I tried to tell him as soon as the clock struck 12, but last night I was informed he was going by Oregon’s time since that was where he was born. Whether he wants to deny or delay it any longer, my husband has turned the big 3-0!

Tonight, we will be celebrating with his family at his favorite restaurant, J. Alexanders. I want to make this birthday as special as I can possibly make it. I can’t begin to describe how excited I am about his gift. Since Tray has taken the whole week off and is home today, I have left several clues for him to find and figure out. I know he’s found two, but I hope he’s found the third since it would lead him here for the fourth and final clue.

Clue No. 4: 0437

Tray, you are such a wonderful husband and friend. I hope you continue to enjoy your day at home with our Max. I love you very much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
