Second Birthday

So my birthday was back in July, but I got to celebrate it again this past weekend. My great friends, Sarah and Emily took me out for my birthday. We went to a awesome little resturant called Cibos in downltown Phoenix. We had wine, amazing brick oven pizza and crepes.... Mmmm! What more could you ask for? Then we went and saw Valley Youth Theatre's production of Peter Pan. It was so awesome. Seriously the little kids that played the Lost Boys were adorable!! We had a great night! Thanks friends for an awesome birthday celebration!

Big Night!!

Tonight starts the fall season of most TV shows. If you know my hubby.... tonight is like Christmas to him. So for any of you who love TV as much as us... Happy Fall Season Premiere Night!!!

Sick!

So in general I would say we are pretty healthy. Even with Nate working around kids all the time. But Nate caught some kind of bug or virus or something. He has taken 2 sick days in a row! And it looks like he will be taking tomorrow as well.

Schools have a new rule... swine flu worries... you have to be 24 hours fever free to return to school, or in his case work. Well that means that this morning he would have to have been fever free. Not so much the case. So that means 3 sick days. Very abnormal for him. My poor hubby!

So we are hoping for no fever tomorrow!!!

LABOR Day Weekend

So Nate and I finally got around to doing something with our backyard. My parents graciously offered to put the plants and rock in for us. We looked into what it would cost to pay someone to have pavers put in, but it was going to be a lot more than we were hoping to pay. We decided to try and attempt to do it ourselves. As you can see the finished product looks awesome!!!

The plan was to start with sand and pavers Saturday morning. We got the sand delivered and moved back to the patio area... just in time for the DOWNPOUR!! We watched it pour for 30 minutes solid. My parents left and Nate and I ran errands. We kept watching to see how much water evaporated. Later saturday afternoon we started laying pavers and got about half of the patio laid. We finished Sunday mid afternoon. It was hard work but we are thrilled with how it turned out. The last step is to lay rock around the patio and the plants in the back yard. And get a patio table and chairs. We are excited to use it this fall!!

New to blogging

I finally gave in and started a blog! I read through the blogs of a lot of friends and I love them, but just hadn't given in and done it yet. I am sure I won't post too often because I am not sure if our lives are all that interesting. But at least this will serve as a way for our friends and family to stay updated with us.
