Can a husband give wife a honeymoon

Donation protected

September 20th, 1999, in 8th grade, I met this woman,Maricela. I am a STRONG MAN, a MARINE, a WARVET, a FATHER, and yet, it measures up to nothing next to what this WOMAN has done to and in my life. She has given me the best 17 years of life I could have asked for.
Through 7 pregnancies (2 miscarriages 5 children), my 2 Iraq tours (16 months total), 4 relocations, father incarcerated and deported, parents divorce, 15 different medications for her medical condition, 2 strokes, 1 heart attack, several deaths in her family over the years, and of course dealing with grumpy me, she still has the biggest heart and smile in our home. She is the GLUE that keeps us together. She is my rock. She's a stay at home mom and never would I be able to switch places with her. Her "JOB" is a lot more important than mine.
We had a court wedding Oct. 12th 2007 and our "church" wedding May 25th 2012. Both times I was unable to give her a honeymoon. I failed her. I felt sooo bad and of course she said "it's okay baby" "maybe next year." Between no babysitter, no money, and no time(had to work next day), it was just impossible. We celebrate Oct 12th as our official date and every year since 2007, as the date gets closer and my wife realizes theres just not enough money, no babysitter, and we cant afford for me to take days off work,it PAINS me to hear those 3 little words "maybe next year."
This woman, my wife, deserves a honeymoon......I just can't provide it. She is not materialistic, we shop thrift stores, she coupons, and we live within our means. There's just no room for anything extra.
I don't want to take her to the Bahamas, or the Caribbean, or Europe, or Italy, or even to Mexico. She doesn't need an exotic getaway.......she just needs to get-away. A cabin in the mountains or a room by the beach. No kids, no distractions, no boogers, no stinky socks, no washing clothes, no folding, no cooking, no cleaning, no waking up early, damn it no cell phones for 48 hours! 2 days, 1 weekend. I know she's tired, but she'll never admit it. I treat her like a Queen, but I would like to spoil her like a Princess, even if it's for only a short while.
If this touches your heart in anyway Please help me make her dream a reality and I will forever be indebted to each and everyone who has us in their hearts and prayers.
