27th Bday

I can't believe I'm 27! That seems so old...

The day started off with flowers and balloons from the hubby. Then a 90 minute massage at Massage Envy which was absolutely AMAZING!! Truly...the best massage I've ever had! Curtis also gave be a birthday card that said I get to pick a weekend getaway to one of the following:

a) SF Giants game

b) Disneyland

c) Sea World

I think I'm gonna pick A...since that also means I get to go home and visit my fam too :)

All I wanted for my birthday was to eat at Cheesecake Factory haha. So...we did! And it was delish!

Birthday present from Tyler and Jamie! They know me too well haha...

Also got a giftcard from my sister to my absolute favorite store! :) Which I just used today on a new purse since an entire bottle of Mountain Dew leaked into my old purse. Lame.

Sex

I've been thinking a lot lately about having a baby. It's crazy how in high school having a baby to me meant having sex with my husband. Now "having a baby" to me means Fertility Dr.'s, injections/medications, egg + sperm in a petri dish + uterus, etc. Sex isn't even in the equation! Crazy! Just my thoughts for today :) haha...

Group Date Night

Last weekend Curtis and I hung out with some of our favorite friends. We made homemade calzones - which were DELICIOUS - then played games until like 1am :)

The "fixin's"

Dough

Watermelon

I was craving salad from Olive Garden...so I brought some to share :)

Here's Curtis making his dinner.

He was a little nervous he would do it wrong...but you pretty much can't mess this up.

The girls: Kim, Jenica & Kim

Tyler and Curtis toasting the night away :) Nerds.

The boys: Tyler, Curtis & Dave

Curtis' 28th

I can't believe Curtis is 28!! :) Crazy! I didn't know what to do for his birthday this year. I requested the weekend off work and decided to surprise Curtis with a weekend getaway. I got a hotel in Vegas, tickets to a show, gift certificates for a massage, etc. I wanted to surprise him when he got home from work on Thursday. I had it all planned out to make these clues tied to balloons. I was going to have Tyson taken to the doggy day care and pack Curtis' bags so we could leave immediately....but then Curtis got home at 11:00am instead of 3:00pm. It still ended up ok. He just took Tyson to the kennel while I got things ready, and we headed out.

I bought some balloons...

and tied little clues to the ends. Curtis was shocked when he realized we were leaving today and the whole weekend was already planned out. He was super excited!

Clues...

Here's our bags ready to go :)

Thursday night we got into Vegas-went out to dinner, a movie, and a little gambling. I HATE gambling, but Curtis likes it. So I gave him a $200 budget for the weekend. :) He ended up winning $100 the first night...but then lost $200 the second day haha... He still had fun.

Us at the movies.

Friday we woke up early and got massages, walked the strip, went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory, and went to the Jabbawockeez show. It was SO entertaining! They are amazing dancers!

My favorite part of the weekend haha... :) Some random girl started dancing on the strip in front of the robot guys. It was hilarious!!

We walked by the Bellagio at the perfect time :) I love the water show!

Us after the Jabbawockeez show :) On Saturday we hung out with Curtis' brother Kenny for a little bit, then drove back to Provo and had dinner at Texas Roadhouse for Curtis' actual birthday.

Sunday my family all got together for dinner, cake, and ice cream :) We got Curtis' absolute favorite cake from Kneader's the night before. SO yummy!!

Happy Birthday babe!!!!!!!! The big two-eight.

I Love You Because...

Here's the "I love you because..." frame I made for Valentine's Day. I TOTALLY love this idea. It's so awesome hearing random things Curtis loves about me, or vice versa. It also makes you notice the small things your partner does that you absolutely love. Curtis wrote the cutest thing this morning...

How cute right?? :)

Now...this isn't necessarily something he loves about me, and it was probably something he saw in a Hallmark card, but it still made my morning.
