So I finally found out where I am going for my surprise vacation in December! :)
Brad decided that he couldn't hold it in anymore, and my family was dying to talk to me about it!
So yesterday morning I woke up and Brad told me that he had a couple clues for me and they were videos from the place that we are going. I am not so good with languages or anything to do with other countries...so it was a little difficult for me to even guess. Then the last video he showed me I noticed a flag in the background of it. I had recognized the flag only because I did a report on this country when I was in sixth grade (haha weird I know) and because my grandma's family is from there also. So brad told me to take a guess but that he wouldn't tell me if it was right or wrong. Then the last thing he had on was from skype and it was a piece of paper that someone had wrote on that said
"Guess where you are going!?"
and then I was supposed to read it outloud and the next part said...
"I am going to SWEDEN"
Yes I am going to Sweden! I cannot wait. One of Brad's mission companions, Michael, and his wife Aurelie (that they taught on their mission) is flying us out to come visit them in SWEDEN!! They were on skype and I finally got to see who is being so nice to us and flying us out to visit them. They are the sweetest, most nicest people ever! I met Michael already because he came to our wedding, but I haven't met Aurelie yet and I am so excited to finally meet her!
It's so crazy to me because Sweden is a place that I've always had on my list of must-go-to's. I've heard so much about it from stories from my grandma that it was just always a place I wanted to visit, and I'm actually getting the opportunity to go!! I cannot express exactly how excited I am! :)
That is not the only surprise I got. After I read where I was going, they told Brad to read it also. It looked like the same paper so we didnt think anything of it.
He ended up reading...
"I am going to BELGIUM!"
That is where Brad served his mission and they are flying us to visit Belgium for a weekend while we are over in Europe! Brad was so surprised and so was I. He hasn't had the chance to go back yet and he has wanted to so bad! We are both so so excited!
It's hard to think how real it is. It wont be real until I'm actually there I think. We both feel so blessed. We feel beyond blessed, and we don't know what we've done to have such amazing people in our lives.
We leave in 23 days! I cannot wait! :)
