AW: My husband is awesome

[glitzy07]

My husband is SO awesome in my book right now, but I can't even tell him that because I'm sworn to secrecy!

Our 1 year anniversary is coming up in September, and we were planning to go on this trip to a music festival, but it turned out that DH can't get out of work to go. I was pretty ok with the decision, but still bummed because a lot of my favorite musicians will be there and it's beachside. It would have been the perfect anniversary trip.

Last night my best friend came over and swore me to secrecy. Apparently DH approached her at her going away party (she's moving across the country next week ) and said that for our anniversary, he's going to cover her airfare so that her and I can go to the music festival since he can't go!

The problem he had was that I manage our money, and any purchases he made would be obvious to me. So he asked her to book everything and said he'd pay her as soon as he was able to tell me about the gift. Problem was, she didn't have enough money to cover both airfares, hotel and festival tickets right now with her move and we needed to book soon. So she came over and swore me to secrecy and we booked last night!

I can't wait until DH tells me about it! Hopefully I can keep a straight face and pretend that I didn't know...

I agree. I mean, I'm happy you get to go, but I'm giving your friend a big ol' WTF.

lol - I'm not going to disagree with you. It's sort of difficult for a non-planner to ask another non-planner to get anything done. As it is, in my 10 minutes of searching I found cheaper flights and hotel for both of us before we booked. She's definitely not the best person to ask for help in a surprise situation.

If it helps the situation at all, DH had already said something to me about paying for her to go, but I brushed it off and he knew I wouldn't do it.

I was also already suspicious becaue I inadvertantly saw a text in her phone from DH the other day when we were sitting next to each other, and they NEVER talk to. I asked DH about it and he told me to stop asking about it because it was "something for me." So I kind of already knew something was up.
