My 27th

So never mind the fact that my birthday was about 2 weeks ago.. but it was a good weekend so I wanted to share some pictures. Something about this St. George living that makes me want to be outside and not sitting at a computer.

Anyway, the day before my birthday my mom planned a dinner for the family. It was fun because Alan's parents and sister were down that week for a vacation so we got to have both sides there!

This little dude's name is Gavin, and when he was a baby he looked JUST like Alan.

Never too old for the kiddie table.

My mom made my very favorite food. Italian Pasta.. it's basically a bunch of veggies, chicken, noodles and parmesan cheese. YUM.

Always ruining a picture.

Momma and Poppa Roberts

Baby Bro, Dylan.

I had a nasty cold that whole week, so I used a piece of paper to fan out my birthday candles.

I love being close to my family!

Then the morning of my birthday, I woke up and Alan had already left to work. I was feelin bad that he didn't even kiss me goodbye, but when I went into the bathroom to get ready there was this note above my sink.

I also got a package in the mail from my bestie, Lana, in SLC. Nothin better than a package in the mail.

Then that night we went out for sushi and curry.

I'm not even going to get started on how close I am to 30, but at least I'm in a good spot in my life and I feel like every day I become a better me. Thanks to everyone who helped my celebrate my day.

6 Years!

For our 6 year anniversary we decided to head down to Las Vegas for a night. We spent the day shopping (the only way I got Alan to agree to it is the fact that Henry wasn't with us) and walking the strip. When we checked into our room we found out that they had upgraded us to a suite and gave us a free bottle of champagne! We got ready for the night and went and ate at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, then went and saw the show Zumanity. It was an amazing night, and it was really nice being able to spend some alone time with Alan. I think that it's a great reminder of why we got married, and why we want to stay married.

Sorry for the lame bathroom shots, but I spaced on taking my camera! Duh!

I find myself loving Alan more today, than I did on our wedding day. We've been through some crazy things together, but it's only helped us grow together. There are some things that we say to each other every so often and there is a story behind them, but to spare the cheese and sap I'll just write them down so I never forget:
"I don't want much, I just want you"
"At least we have each other"

I love you sweetheart. Here's to another amazing year!

A few goodbyes.

The week before we left, we had something to do EVERY night. You don't realize how many people you care about, until you are ready to move. I understand that we didn't move that far, but it's still hard to say goodbye.

Last family dinner with the Mosers.

I didn't think it would be that hard to say goodbye to my coworkers, but on my last day it was hard to hold back some tears. All of my coworkers put together a lovely potluck for me, and gave me the chance to say bye to everyone at once.

My 2 work besties!

These plates were a little bit of heaven.

I also wanted to get a picture of Henry's first little buddy at daycare, Carson.

Henry's first babysitter, Alta.

Lana and Spencer also threw us a going away party with our friends. The girl knows me better than anyone else, so she stocked the house with candy and pizza.

They have the best backyard! They have little lights hung all over, a couple benches, a table and a fire pit!

Our last night in town we went over to Alan's parents house to watch the Utes (obviously not my idea) and eat The Pie pizza!

For some reason, Henry started walking around and giving everyone hugs.. multiple times. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Henry sure loves his family.

It was hard saying all those goodbyes, but luckily we will be able to see everyone soon! I have a feeling that when the nasty SLC inversion is in town, everyone will make their way down south!

The Move!

Before we headed out of Salt Lake we had brunch at Market Street Grill with some of the besties. That place is seriously amazing, and you know it's going to be good when they start out the meal with complimentary sweet rolls.

Our friends the Jones just had this little baby, so I had to get my lovin on him before we left. Henry was SO amused by him and wanted to be where ever Judson was.

I'm mad at myself for never having gone to Market Street before. The food was amazing, but so was the scenery. So glad I took my camera!

The night before we moved my dad, stepmom, mom and little sister all came up to help us out. Not only did they come up but my sister and Alan's sister's family came over to help as well. I felt so blessed that we had all these people willing to spend the evening loading the trailer for us. I also was grateful at that moment for my total OCD and moving habits. I had packed and labeled everything we owned so when they all arrived to help us move, the boxes were in one room ready to go!

Quick shout out to my dad. Seriously. This guy is amazing. We were a little worried that we wouldn't be able to fit all our stuff in his trailer, but with his mad skills he got it all packed in. I would love to give out his number to other people moving, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't want it as a full time job.

I have lots more to update, but this is the first night I've had my computer set up. Expect lots more to come!
