Bruce's Birthday!!





So, I'll be honest. I'm totally a birthday person. It makes me so excited to plan birthday parties and stuff like that. This time it was even better. It was the first birthday that I got to plan for Bruce. Last year we were just in the dating stage, so I couldn't do much. This year, it was ALL MINE!

Thursday morning, Bruce's actual birthday, I got up before work and made some muffins for Bruce and Lydia and her family (who are staying with us for the week. So much fun!). Then, after work, Lydia and Tobin took us out to Rodizio Grill. Neither one of us had ever gone, but the food was fantastic. The pineapple was both of our favorites. Last night we threw a birthday party for Bruce's family. It was so much fun to have everyone over, but we missed Sarah and her crew. Hopefully we will get to see them soon. Bruce got a new grill for his birthday and is the grill master at our house. He had a blast handling all the burgers and dogs and now wants to try to do some ribs on the grill. I completely support that idea! After the BBQ, Emily and Curtis and Lydia and Tobin and the kids joined us at the drive-in movie. It was a cold night, but it was fun to see UP and The Proposal. Plus, you can't beat the drive-in movies. We'll have to do it again when it's a little warmer.

Tomorrow night, my family is coming over for another party. I'm glad that Bruce has so many people who love him. It makes me so happy. What a great husband I have!! Happy Birthday, baby!!

We finally get a HONEYMOON!





So, Bruce and I have finally gotten to go on our honeymoon. We are in beautiful Colorado for this week exploring where Bruce grew up and checking out Rocky Mountain National Park. I have to say, it has been so much fun to see Bruce in his role as tour guide. Plus, he gets to show me all of his favorite places. We went to eat at a restaurant called Beau Jo's yesterday. They have this amazing pizza and Bruce was so excited for me to get to try it. We also went shopping in Estes Park (compare to Park City!). This weekend we are going to a Rockies game before heading home.

The best part of the whole trip has been just sitting with Bruce. He is so much fun to just hang out with and I am so lucky to be married to a man with a little boy's excitement. It makes our life together such an adventure. Plus, I'm the worrier and he's the one who always reminds me that life is an occasion. That's our new quote. "Life is an occasion. Rise to it!" Thank you Dustin Hoffman.

We will post some pics from our trip as soon as we actually make it home! But for now, its off for more adventures!
