In celebration of this momentous event, we rented a room at the Hilton in SLC last night. It was pretty nice, but I probably wouldn't recommend it or stay there again. Oh well, it was still fun!
For dinner, we went out to the Rodizio Grill. I had never been there before, and it was great! There were about a million birthday celebrations happening while we were there, so we got to hear the brazilian drums almost the whole time.
My favorite was the cheddar bread balls. I know, it's known for it's meat, but what can I say? I'm a cheese lover.
We exchanged gifts...Josh got me this:
Perfume with a spritzer!!! I was so excited. I had oh-so-subtly mentioned it to him a few weeks ago, and being the incredible husband he is, he remembered and got it for me :)
Our minds work similarly because I got him cologne.
In other news, Josh is doing a motorcycle safety course today. Why, you might ask? Because we bought a motorcycle!
This is it:
Pretty close, anyway. We haven't taken any pictures of it, but it is a Kawasaki Vulcan.
We are so excited!
Other big news:
Josh's nephew, Xavior, who is 15, is staying with us for 5 weeks! He got here 2 weeks ago. He's attending an academy out here, going to a youth conference for the academy, going to a Boy Scout jamboree thing, visiting his long lost friend, and hanging out with us.
I always felt like 15 wasn't that long ago until he got here. It's made me realize that I really am getting older. It's somewhat depressing, but also good to know that I have grown wiser and maturer than I was 7 years ago.
It's great to have him out with us, though!
Those are the big updates for now. School continues to go on and on and on...
We are crazier than ever before with work and school.
This is the first time I have ever worked 20 hours/week while being in school full-time and it is insane. We are both gone from about 8am to 8pm every day, which leaves little time for necessities like laundry and grocery shopping. When I looked in the refrigerator this week, I realized that it was a miracle we were all still alive. The direness of the food situation means one thing-Costco trip today! I love Costco, it's like a treat every time I go. Maybe it is the free samples, maybe it is the delicious food I end up buying, or maybe it is because we usually order pizza while we are there, but I love it.
I always tell myself that someday, I will become more diligent in maintaining our blog. But I'm not promising anything.
