Birthday Surprise, Change of Plans

All weekend J has been giving me hints, via Facebook, what he's doing for my birthday. Hints included snow, mountains, frank, and cheese. The moment I was given cheese I knew it had to be Switzerland. I guessed right. He was going to take me to Zurich, Switzerland. It was amazingly thoughtful of him since he knew I've been wanting to go back to Switzerland.

But the plane tickets were for four days, the 8th-11th. My issue is that I'm leaving back for the States on the 12th and I started to sweat at the thought that I'm on a plane on the 11th and the next day I'm on a plane all day. I really didn't want to go through that.

As much as I wanted to visit Zurich, I know that it's expensive there. I've looked at hotels and rentals for cheap but it became difficult. Right now, it's probably not the best plan to go since we're in the middle of moving out of the country and looking for our future home in Fort Worth. The last thing I want to do is spend money on a four-day weekend when we can save up.

I was nervous about telling J that I didn't want to go. I always hated confrontations but I know that he would rather have me tell him. So I did. I was afraid he would be upset but I found out that the plane tickets didn't cost much. "So what do you want to do for your birthday then?" he asked me. "I am very happy to go to dinner or have friends come over and we can do a birthday/going away party." The later sounds more fun.

Thank you J for the sweet and thoughtful gift. It meant a lot to me that you wanted to take me back to Switzerland. You always aim to please me and I am blessed to have a wonderful husband like you. I love you Superman!

Have you ever changed plans on your birthday?
