Birthday/Valentines Day

This year I had a wonderful birthday! Matt surprised me with roses two days before my birthday (which I already posted the gorgeous pictures of them), and then he spent the whole day with me on my birthday. We made breakfast (biscuits and gravy...yummy!) and then I opened presents. Matt gave me a gift card to Victoria's Secret. I desperately needed new bra's, and I have been complaining about that to him for a few months, so it was a perfect gift. After I opened my gifts we went to the mall to use my gift card.

Matt took me to dinner that night to my favorite restaurant, Market Street Grill. We had to wait 2 hours for a table, because it was Valentines day and the rest of the world was trying to eat at Market Street too, but we didn't care. I was probably the most fun we have had in a long time. We were both in such good moods that we didn't even care that we had to wait that long. Once we made it into the restaurant we ordered oysters and had a grand ole time. I even ordered dessert, which I never do, so that was a really fun treat!

I have a picture of us at the restaurant, but I haven't loaded it onto my camera yet, so I will add a picture later.

Thank you for all of your birthday wishes. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day too. :)

Happy Early Birthday to Me!

I just had the nicest surprise! Matt had 3 dozen roses delivered to me today for Valentines day and my birthday. He is a few days early which really surprised me. I love the roses!! They are gorgeous, and I just had to post a few pictures of them to brag about what a wonderful husband I have. He is such a great guy, and I am very lucky to have him for the rest of my life. I love you baby!

Nice....

This is just too funny to keep to ourselves.

We have a small backyard that Macy has all to herself. Every couple of weeks Matt will go out and pick up after her, but because we have had so much snow this winter we have been really lazy and haven't picked up after her since the beginning of winter.

For the last few weeks I have been getting after Matt about going outside to pick up the poop. Macy won't go to the bathroom if there is too much poop around her, so I have felt really bad for her since the snow melted. Last Sunday Matt finally went out to do the dirty job of picking up after her, and this is the after picture. I love the look on Macy's face. She looks so proud of herself. It makes me laugh every time I look at it. Yes, that whole bag is FULL of Macy poop!! Sorry if you think this is gross, but I had to post this hilarious picture. Enjoy!

Questar Here He Comes!!

Matt got a job!!! He starts work on Monday at Questar Gas. He will start as a meter reader and hopefully advance quickly into more permanent position. He was unemployed for exactly a month and a day. We are so excited that he got a job! Good job baby! I knew you could do it!

Sleepless in Seattle

Matt and I just got back from vacationing in Seattle. My best friend Deidra and her husband Chris moved there last summer, so we were able to go and spend some quality time with them and their cute little baby Andon. It was such a fun and relaxing trip. Matt and I needed a nice, relaxing get-away after the month we have had. Thanks Dee for letting us come and crash at your house for the weekend! We had a blast!!

We went to a really neat Tai restaurant on Friday night called Indochine that was in Tacoma. It was the prettiest restaurant I have ever been to. Deidra and Chris love Tai food, and Matt and I had never been to a Tai restaurant, so it was a fun new experience. We didn't have a reservation when we got to the restaurant, so the only table they had available was in a private room that was set up for a party that wouldn't be arriving for more than an hour. We were the only people in the room, so we felt really special! Andon was a good sport through most of the meal, but when Deidra tried to feed him a bottle it leaked and he was SOAKING wet, so after that he wasn't very happy.

Matt went golfing on Saturday while Deidra and I hung out and did a little bit of shopping. Poor Chris ended up having to work all weekend, but we still had a blast hanging out with him at night.

Superbowl Sunday was a lot of fun! We made 7-layer dip and Chris's brother came over to watch the game with us. Matt is always really loud when we watch any sporting event, and I don't think Andon was used to seeing someone get so loud all of the sudden. It was funny because he would just be playing on the floor, and Matt would jump up and start clapping or yelling at the TV and Andon would stop everything and just stare at Matt. At least it didn't make him cry or anything....Matt can get really loud!!

I was so glad that I got to spend the weekend with Deidra and her cute family. While we were there we realized that it has been about 5 years since we have spent more than a few hours with Chris and Deidra. As soon as they were married they moved outside of Utah and we haven't ever been able to visit them. It was nice to know that we are the type of friends that can stay close after not being together for such a long time. Thanks for the vacation guys! We love you!!
