The Big 24!

So it was my birthday and I turned the big 24. To me that really sounds old. We had a fun day, Zak took my to the Sky Box for lunch. I got Salmon and Zak hates the taste, smell, pretty much everything about salmon, so as I was enjoying my meal he could hardly stand sitting at the table!! Zak got a pizza that was gross, so we sent it back and he just got some fries. Then the waiter brought out some ice cream for me!! Zak had a lighter and candles that he brought, and then whistled the birthday song. I love it. After lunch we went to the arcade side of Sky Box and played around like little kids. Again I loved it. That night Erin also came over to see me and wish me a Happy Birthday. She is amazing. One thing I loved was getting texts and phone calls all day long from so many loved ones. It was a great day for me, and I feel so blessed to have a husband that made it even more special for me!!!

Happy Birthday!!

What better way to spend your birthday? In Arizona, with your wife, and in a nice hotel. Zak turned 23 today!!! This morning when I woke up I hear Zak's sweet voice ask if he could open his presents. So I said Yes, he turned into a little boy and got so excited. I love Zak so much and I'm so grateful we found each other. Happy Birthday Love!!!

-Relaxing in Arizona-

We have had such a fun time down here in Arizona. We've been able to stay in some amazing places. These are some of the pictures, the first one is a view in the hotel. The second is one of us waiting for the shuttle, the third one is the view from our room. We then went to another hotel and the sunset was so pretty, that same day we went to the pool (Zak loves his feet!). It's been perfect weather, and we are so glad to have spent the week with just each other!

Arizona Here We Come!!!

So the time has arrived, we're going to Arizona!!! Here are two of the places we'll be staying. So amazing right? There is a lazy river at one of the hotels, so Zak is thrilled to just relax and float around and around. It will be such a needed and great vacation for us.

Our First Christmas Tree..

Last night Zak and I went to "Rick's Tree Patch"(I made up the name of the place, but the owners name really is Rick!) to pick out our first Christmas tree together. I was so excited because my family has had a fake tree for a long time. We looked around for a bit and then found the one we wanted, we had Rick come and get it for us!! He put it in the truck and we came home and set it up. It looked perfect and there is nothing greater then the smell of a pine tree. Today I went and got all our decorations and it looks so cute. I love Christmas!!

Game Night!

had such a fun night playing Wii out at the Bartholomew's house. I love the video of Zak because he looks so into the game, very serious!! Then there's one of me getting a strike. We love our family, it's so fun being with them and playing games all night long. We can't wait to do it again!!

Halloween!

Halloween is my favorite holiday and what made it even better is that Zak got work off to spend the day with me! We had a Jack-O-Lantern pizza and carved our pumpkin. We helped hand out candy to all the kids, then we watched Transformers. Some of the family stopped by to show us their costumes and all the candy they got. It was a fun night and I can't wait until next year to do it all again.
