Happy Birthday Hubby!

Saturday September 24 was my good lookin'  husbands birthday! He turned the big 29! haha He's getting old! jk But we had a great weekend celebrating. We started off our weekend with a little getaway to Salt Lake to stay at the Grand America...  Yes we're moving up in the world!  Just kidding, we just decided to splurge and have a fun little one night stay at a very fancy hotel for his special day! It was amazing, we felt like real rich high class people haha! We then went to Old Spaghetti Factory and had some pretty amazing grub! Off we went to the movie after that, we went and saw Moneyball and let me tell you, it was a very good show! It was one of those movies that just made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside haha! You can't go to The Gateway without stopping at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and getting an apple pie caramel apple.... Oh my YUM! I am obsessed. I seriously have an obsession with fruit lately I don't know what it is, but anyways the next morning we got up and went to the Farmers Market for the first time down in Salt Lake and got some really yummy jam and some other fun treats. While we were gone I had my mom come and hang up a big birthday sign on our window so everyone around would know it's his birthday!! He was pretty embarrassed! That night we went to dinner with his family  to TGIFridays. His niece Alyssa has the same birthday as him and that's where she decided to go. We ended the night up at the Nelson house opening presents and having blueberry cheesecake and ice cream that he requested. It was a very fun weekend and he even got his own Denver Broncos pillow pet! We have a slight obsession with those ( I probably shouldn't say that out loud, but I figure nobody reads this anyways) Sunday we celebrated with my family. We played badmitten had some more delicious food and brownie ice cream sundays! I think we ate a little too much food, but you gotta splurge on the husbands birthday right!? Anyways, this is quite a long post but I just had to thank my husband for being born and letting us have an amazing weekend! I love him very much and don't  know what I would do without him! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!

~Oh Peach Days~

     That's all I kept saying all weekend as we were walking through huge crowds of people in the hot sun. It's kind of a love/hate relationship I have with Peach Days. I always get so excited for it... I love seeing people that I haven't seen forever, I love the food (probably a little too much), gotta love the Peach queen pageant and the parades, I love the booths and walking through them all and watching my nieces and nephews ride the rides. I don't quite love the fact that the Peach queen pageant was 4 HOURS LONG!!!! Way too long for a pageant. I don't quite love the fact that there were so many people that you can barely walk anywhere, let alone stop and actually look at the booths. I was very disappointed there was no candy being thrown in the parade! It was so hot outside for the most part on Saturday that its just exhausting! I am glad that I go every year though, it just wouldn't be the same without going to Peach days!
