08-08-08

If you would have asked me a few months ago what I was going to be doing today I would have said having a baby. That was the plan I set for myself when I heard I was due around this time. Well as you know he was born 2 weeks ago and I am so happy about that because I did not want to be pregnant 1 day longer. So here it is 08-08-08 and what do I get to do? My sweet husband surprised me with an evening at the spa! A fabulous place called Beyond Spa. I recommend it!!

Yes that's right. Josh watched the kids and sent me to the spa for a massage, facial and pedicure. It was AMAZING!!! Much better then spending it in labor.


First I walk in (through the check in doors) a little nervous (I've never spent the day at the spa before) greeted by soothing music and relaxing smells. I tell the girl my name and she takes me to the waiting room with dimmed lights and soft comfy couches, and puts a warm neck pillow on me (amazing!) I fill out some papers and relax with my neck pillow a little then the massage therapist comes and walks me to my room


I get a 50 minute spectacular full body massage. I was a little nervous being basically naked with my post baby body (not that I'm so exotic otherwise) but I let myself relax and I loved it. The soothing music the great smells. It was heavenly. When my massage was done the massage therapist walks out and then a few minutes later without interrupting me at all the esthestician walks in and begins my facial. Very relaxing (and I'm not a huge fan of facials)





After my facial I get to relax a little then get dressed and go into the pedicure room for my vanilla orange smoothie pedicure.

I sit in the super comfy chair and am handed another warm neck pillow, a cooling eye mask and a drink of ice water. I get to soak my feet in warm water with real oranges!

As my pedicure comes to an end so did my day at the spa. I wish I could have stayed longer but I get to leave relaxed, refreshed and ready to go home and see my family that I was glad to miss. Thank you Josh for that great surprise. (sorry girls he's married!)
