I have never been good at keeping exciting secrets. I always get too excited and want to share it with everyone. Well I had a good surprise for Ty's birthday. I did so awesome and not slipping and telling him. He knew we were going to Salt Lake, but he didn't know much more. I made him promise me that he wouldn't look on the credit card because I had to buy our surprise upfront. I asked him every day if he had looked and he said that he hadn't. I'm so glad that he didn't!
We left Addi with my mom. Which was our first time leaving her over night. I must admit I teared up a little bit when we left. Just because I knew I'd miss her. But of course she did great! I'm so grateful that we have family close that we are able to do things like that. We were pretty excited to see her when we got back though. Anyways... we got out to SLC and we made it to the temple. It was so great to be there and enjoy the great spirit that is there. Then we went to Tucano's for dinner. OHHH it was so yummy, and we got soooo full. Then it was off to see the surprise.....
He is getting sang to
He thought we were staying at Little America. Which we have stayed there quite a few times. Whenever we go there, he always says "Let's walk across the street and look at the Grand". I always say no. So my plans worked out great! I was hoping it would work out this way and by golly it did. We pull up to Little America, and sure enough he says, "Let's walk across the street and look at the Grand". I said alright let's go. We walk over there and we walk into the front doors. I walk straight to the registration place, and Ty's looking at me like "What are you doing?" (having him tell the story is so much better, but you'll get the picture). I tell the guy at the front desk that we have a reservation for Herbert Jensen and Ty is still looking at me like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Then it clicked.. he says out loud, "ARE WE STAYING HERE?" I just nodded my head. He got this super big grin on his face and got all giddy. The front desk guy asked if we wanted to upgrade for $20 and of course Ty wanted to. He then asked if he would get us as high as he could. Sure enough we got a room pretty high up. Grand America is 24 stories and we were on level 22.
Ty had a perma-grin for most of the night and just kept saying, "I can't believe we are staying here." He was definitely surprised. He said it was one of his best birthdays.
I just wanted to give Ty something that I knew he would truly enjoy. He is such a great husband and dad to us and I wanted to make it extra special. We love our dad so much.

I am totally jealous! When we lived in Vernal and would come out stay at Little America we always would walk over to the Grand, it is amazing! I bet he won't ever forget staying there. I can only imagine Ty's face when you were checking in!
I love going to the Temple out here. The Salt Lake is my favorite for many reasons. It is always such a peaceful place to attend. Good job on keeping such a great secret!
