My HUBBY is the BIG 3-0!!!!

Hello! Ok... So I haven't updated my blog since we got out Engagement pics done like 7 months ago. SO... After Liz telling me that I HAVE TO... Here I am UPDATING my blog.

My fabulously wonderful husband hit a big mile stone a couple weeks ago (August 15). He turned 30!!! Yes... my new husband is 30! Needless to say... He definitely was NOT looking forward to it. He said he was OLD. He's not old, and he definitely doesn't look 30.



See... SO NOT OLD. ha.

Anyway... He wanted to do a lot of things for his birthday... And being that it was a big one... we did EVERYTHING!

So his actual birthday was a Saturday... So we started celebrating on Friday. We went to dinner with out friends Liz and Bobby, Katie and Jo, and Devin and Ashley. He wanted to go to Claim Jumper... so we all went, ate food, and then came back to our apartment where we sat around and talked and ate Justin's favorite thing... CHEESE CAKE!

Then it was Saturday... and what did Justin want to do? EVERYTHING... He wanted to go to Monterey, Carmel, and Santa Cruz... yes... all in one day. SO after our long Friday night, we got in the car at 7:00am and drove to Monterey to go to the aquarium. It was so fun. We loved it! There are so many fun things to see.










Then we were off to Carmel-By-The-Sea. I am in love with it. It is beautiful. White beaches, and beautiful water. It was so fun to be on the beach. We weren't exactly prepared for the beach though. Me in pants and a t-shirt, just in his regular clothes... so we just walked around and talked to some people and just enjoyed being there. We will go back, and I will be laying there on the beach. I Love it. Here are just a couple pictures of the beach.




So after the beach and the amazing beach houses that we saw... someday I'll have a home there haha... we were off to Santa Cruz! On the drive there we stopped at a local street market and got some really yummy fresh fruit. Justin loves his fresh fruit. Then we continued on our way. When we got there it was a little smokey cuz of the fire's that are going on down there, but we didn't let that ruin our day. We walked down the pier and got some clam chowder and bread bowls then drove a little more till we got to the Mystery Spot. This was so fun, and we laughed so hard. It was great!!!




SO this was our VERY fun and eventful Saturday. The day ended with us singing songs, anything that we could remember some of the words too, and singing them at the top of our lungs. We were so ready to be OUT of the car.

Then it was Sunday... I made Encheladas for for Justin's birthday dinner. They were so yummy. My whole family came over at sat at our new really awesome table. It doesn't quite fit in the apartment, but we did it anyway! It was so fun. We always go to my parents house for dinner on Sunday's so it was nice to switch it up and have them over at our place. Oh and of course we had to sing Justin Happy Birthday. SO I lit 30 candles on top of a New York Style Cheesecake and watched him blow them out effortlessly. I think this is the last year that we will be putting individual candles on a cake.

So that was our fun Birthday weekend. Regardless of Justin feeling old, I think he had a blast. I know I did. After the weekend was over Justin says to me... "I am getting grey hair, a spare tire, and I wear golf shirts to work. I am OLD!" I had to reassure him that, no he was not old. I think he's feeling better about it now, and realizing that it's not much different than being 29. I also had to remind him that he married a 22 year old... so he definately shouldn't feel old. ha.

Alright... I have a million more things to blog, but I'll so it later. See ya!
