The Double Anniversary Celebrations

My husband and I have been married for over 10 years now, but our first Anniversary together is one that no on in our lives is likely to forget. Being that it was our first anniversary together and we were both very excited, apparently my husband and I both had the same thing in mind...we have to wow our spouse! I spent weeks coming up with the perfect laid plans for our anniversary. I booked hotels, restuarants, horse drawn carriage rides and etc. I was soo excited that I accomplished this all on my own right down to roses, champagne and chocolates without ever spilling a word or idea of it to my husband. I usually have a very hard time hiding presents, vacation plans and etc. from people as I get very excited, but this time I had done it. When my husband went to work on that Friday morning I was ready. I got up early, packed 2 suitcases of my stuff as well as his, loaded the car and took off to his work to pick him up early, which I had already okayed with his boss. When I arrived there however my husband was gone, and his boss said he believed he left already for my plans. I was super confused. I called his cell phone and he did answer but he said he was busy and would call me right back. I waited and waited and finally he called me asking me where I was as he arrived at home and I was not there! Come to find out he too had planned a trip for our 1st anniverasary and was waiting to pick me up and take me to the airport for our trip! I hurried home laughing all of the way..when I arrived we each told the other of our plans! Since my plans were within driving distance and his needed a plane, we boarded the plane and took off for his plans and just bumped mine back till we returned home. So, for our very first Anniversary as husband and wife we had 2 celebrations!
