a beautiful betrayal (is happening right now)

dearest jesse hubsface,

i have a horrible confession to make: i have been lying to you for months. because of my egregious mendacity, we can’t go to the lake this weekend. in fact, there is no lake trip happening and there never actually was.

see, we have other plans…we ARE going somewhere. 

 in fact that's why we're at the airport as you are reading this. we're not actually here to pick up lena and head out to a lakehouse in south carolina with 3 other couples. she's here to pick up judah and our car.

because we're going somewhere really special: just the two of us. 

a place with no diapers or jobs or responsibilities or chores or stress of any kind…we’re going on a real-live BABYMOON to celebrate our upcoming 4th anniversary and the impending arrival of miss layla embry.

so, do you want to know where we’re actually spending the next 4 days and 4 nights? i’ll give you a little hint:

we’ve already "mooned" there once before

that's right! we're going back to the place we spent our honeymoon! aka the all-inclusive, multiple 5-star restaurant-having, hot-tub-in-our-room, 24-hour room service-providing, mexican paradise resort.


i have been saving up like crazy little by little for over a year for this vacation and got amazing deals on our flights and our stay, so don't worry about how we're going to pay for it. all you have to do is remember the spanish translations for "beer AND wine please," "we'll try one of each of the desserts," and "can you leave it on the doorstep because we're naked?"

you are such an amazing father and husband and you deserve this. let's go check our luggage (2 bags checked for free EACH!) and talk about how hard it's been to keep this a secret from you for the past 5 months since i booked it.

resort staff: please brace yourselves. you may think that since i am pregnant that you are making more money on me because i won't be partaking of the alcohol that is included in our reservation. that would be a foolish assumption. i am eating for two and will more than make up for the lack of drinking. i hope you stocked up on meat and cheese and carbs: i'm coming for you and i have a score to settle.
