Money can't buy you LOVE!!!!

if you have spent over 5 minutes with the real me, then it is no surprise to find out i am a self confessed control freak, which i have recently found out is a full blown case of OCPD, that resides just under the surface of what i like to refer to as a strength.....(not so sure to many others would agree ) so naturally when going away for even a weekend, i must plan it out weeks in advance, list must be made, shopping must be done, outfits must be chosen, ironed and stacked by which day or evening they will be needed. Books and magazines must be gathered.details must be checked out so as not to miss any thing. now believe me when i say i truly wish this wasn't the case and i could just go.....but i can not, or should i say i have not, that is until last week when mike totally surprised me . as we arrived home from church last sunday afternoon, and it was now 6 plus hours on my feet with no time outs ( and with RA that is about my limit) so all i could think of was an ice tea and good book out by the pool, said you have a half hour to gather some clothes and were leaving for a few days................now to say this went over well would be a out right lie at best, i FREAKED!!!! but only on the inside so as not to ruin what he had planned.and as i stood there unable to move, my mind racing a million miles a minute as to where to start, i glanced at mike and the smile on his face and i stopped.  he was so happy he had planned and pulled off a surprise ( to my knowledge this has not yet happen in 36 years...yes i said surprise as in good thing) and i just couldn't ruin it with all my craziness, so i did what anyone with OCPD would NOT do willingly...I grabbed a few items and a coat and was ready to go in ten minutes, as was he.he was still smiling as we pulled into our rv storage lot and he saw the smile on my face, (to say i love camping is a understatement by far. i feel such peace in the great outdoors and i would have to say, most of the fond memories as a child were when we were camping).one glance  and i could see how much love and thought had been put into this very  moment of surprise. hearts of red, blue, pink and purple covered our trailer inside and out. roses were scattered everywhere, this was truly one of a kind piece of art that i will forever hold in my heart. he had stocked the cupboards with lots of yummy treats and filled the fridge with all my favorites right down to the cocktail onions and virgin bloody mary mix, which i must have each and every day. as i was busy checking it all out, he had us hooked up and we were ready to roll.....so whats a control freak who is trying..... to do.....yep you guessed it ...Roll with it....I can truly say that this was by far the most relaxed vacation i have ever spent and my heart and mind is forever thankful to mr. m for the love he poured out and all the special efforts..........Happy Valentines Day to me.......!!!!!!
