Happy 25th Birthday Alan!

Wow I can't believe my hubby is 25 years old. I remember when he was just a little 18 year old who swept me off my feet. This year for Alan's birthday I wanted to do something really special, because you only turn 25 once. I surprised him the night before his birthday and took him to a "fancy" dinner. I think I may have liked the getting dressed up part a little more than him. We went to the Roof for dinner. It was amazing!! The food is so good and the view is breathtaking!

The next day was Alan's birthday. I made him breakfast decorated his door with all his favorite treats and gave him his presents. We both had the day off because my Best Friend was getting married and we had wedding festivities all day. It was great to spend the whole day together!


On Saturday Night we had a small get together with some of our friends and had a bbq. It was so fun! Alan is so lucky he got to celebrate his birthday for 3 days!

We had a good time celebrating! I am so happy that Alan was born and I get to share forever with him! He is such an amazing man and has accomplished so much already. I love you babe! I hope 25 is the best year yet!!

Road Trip 2012

In August Alan and I went on our "Babymoon" trip. Since we have been married, we talked about how fun it would be to do a road trip to San Francisco. We had this trip planned before we knew we were expecting but it was a great time for us to spend some last "just the two of us" time.  We left early on a Saturday morning and headed to Reno.

 

 

We had a fun time walking around and exploring the biggest little city in the world and putting a few bucks down on a table. This was one of our longest drives and we were pretty exhausted. It is a little embarrassing but we went to our room for a minute to relax and we both passed out and woke up at like 2 in the morning. We went back to sleep and woke up early the next morning and grabbed some breakfast and headed to San Francisco.

 

We only spent 2 days in San Francisco  so we had a lot to do in little time. We went on a tour to see Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge. We went to Ghirardelli Square and Fisherman's Warf. We took a short drive down Lombard St. We drove across the Golden Gate bridge to Sausalito, which was one of the cutest places I have ever been. We ate at the world famous House of Prime Rib- which was AMAZING!! We took a cable car to downtown and shopped til we dropped. There was a very strange man standing in front of me on the cable car and he did not understand personal space and that I did not speak Chinese. It was very uncomfortable. After San Francisco we headed to Newport Beach! (My Favorite place in the whole world!)

We spent two days at the beach! The weather was perfect, it was so nice! We put lots of sunscreen on because we knew I was going to be more sensitive to the sun but we didn't realize that meant every 5 minutes. I got very sunburned on my ankles!! It hurt! We enjoyed some lovely meals and a fun day of shopping. Alan had never really been to Newport so I was super excited to show him around and take him to all my favorite places. We will definitely be going back! After Newport we headed to Las Vegas.

We had a good time in Vegas! We stayed at the Mirage and it was so nice. The pool was fun and very crowded. Vegas in August is HOT!! We walked the strip at night and watched the Bellagio fountains. We also won some money!! The next day on our way to St. George we went to the Hoover Dam. I had never been and couldn't believe how breath taking it was. It was very cool to see. The last two days we stayed in St. George. We just relaxed, hung out at the pool, and shopped.

 

We had a fantastic trip! It was so fun to spend some time together and relax! Now we just have to wait for baby girl to come and we can start our new adventure as a family of 3! We can't wait!!
