Today I am flying to St. Maarten and going to see The Hunger Games TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For most of you this may not seem like that big of a deal, going to a movie- who hoo- but I haven't sat in a movie theatre since December and I couldn't be more excited to be in a movie theatre tonight with Lyndsey Tolman eating popcorn and watching The Hunger Games!
It all started a while back when Lynz and I were just daydreaming about how cool it would be to fly over to St. Maarten for the day to see the movie. I brought all the books back to Statia with me after Christmas and loved all three! Of course our husbands thought it was the most ridiculous idea they had ever heard. We tried hard to think of a way we could make some quick cash for the cause, and I remembered I had some birthday money saved, but we knew it would still take much convincing and after a few weeks of the boys giving us the silent treatment, we gave up the dream.
A week or so ago we were out eating some delicious chinese at our favorite island restaurant, when Bruce (the owner of the store) brought out our checks he had slipped 2 small papers with them...we opened them up and they had The Hunger Games logo on them- after a quick second we realize what was going on, our sweet husbands surprised us and had given us the go ahead to book our trip!!!!!!!!!!
We feel so lucky to have this chance to spend some time together before Eric and I leave the island for good. Lynz and I have become such close friends and we hope this isn't the last girls weekend we will have. We are more than excited for all the delicious food we will be enjoying- Dominoes, Subway, McDonalds all things we haven't tasted in months! Hopefully Eric will survive without me for one night, this will be our first night away from each other since we got married! He did tell me he would miss me, but that he was looking forward to having the bed to himself ; )
Time to pack!
{Be excited for my next post full of pics from the trip}
