Hotel Del

Over the weekend, we surprised my mom with a 50th birthday surprise... a trip to San Diego!
We stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado, a hotel she has wanted to stay for years!
We surprised her with a scavenger hunt the night before which led her to our favorite restaurant and our waiter brought out a little pink bag. Inside was a luggage tag! After minutes of being confused, we told her that she would need that luggage tag tomorrow morning and to pack her bags for somewhere warm!
The trip was awesome, we kept surprising her with little things along the whole way!
We then surprised her with a dinner cruise along the bay of San Diego on Saturday night. We spent lots of time at the pool, beach and at the shops along the hotel!

In case you are interested to know how Josh and I came to be... I will be the first to tell our story.
Believe it or not, we actually went to preschool together! I don't remember him and he doesn't remember me, but we have a poloroid to prove it!
We actually grew up in the same neighborhood. I moved away in third grade and long story short, we met back up in High School. My best friend took him to sweethearts and I thought he was the funniest, corkiest person ever... Exactly my type!
So after being friends for quite some time he finally decided to take me on a date, a double date. Our first date began with me having to pick him up from a parade ( he was selling big stick ice creams) and to my arrival noticing that he was wearing a wife-beater! Which was funny, because I am pretty sure that I spent all day getting ready for him :)
I think he put a nicer shirt on over the wife beater to get dolled up for I-Hop! We shared our first first romantic dinner over a funny-faced pancake and orange juice!
When walking me to the garage door that night, I think he kissed me... He was so nervous that he did it so fast and paced back to the car faster than lightening... It was true Love!
He went on his mission in February 2005, and we wrote almost every week. I dated lots of people, but no one measured up to my "Shu Shu!"
We then dated when he got back for about a year and then decided to tie the knot in Hawaii and the rest is history still being written!
