So Much Fun!!!

Our overnight get-a-way was perfect! We had such a great time together. It is a memory I think we will cherish for a long time because we had so much fun. Here's all of the details for any of you interested! Sorry for horrible pictures, I was very upset about forgetting my camera and had to use my camera phone!!!

Friday we left around 4:00pm to go check into our motel and eat dinner before the Diamondbacks game. Well, our adventure started early because on our way to the motel we got a flat tire! Yes, we had to pull over and put on our donut and I got to watch as Jared used his bulging biceps to change our tire:) Well, of course the donut was practically flat too so we didn't have a choice but to get the tire fixed ASAP. Thankfully just as we pulled off the freeway there was a Walmart and after about 30 min we were on our way again.

By the time we got checked into our motel we had to head straight to the game. We decided to just pay an arm and a leg for dinner at the game. When we got there we were so excited because we had awesome seats! We even had a personal waitress order food for us and we had private bathrooms we could use. Right in front of us a few of the Diamondback players were signing autographs for a bunch of kids. Well, of course I sent Jared up there to get my glove signed!!! Well, the only one he got was Gerardo Parra, one of the outfielders. I'm sure someday it will be worth a lot!!! ha ha


The game was great fun. We just kept saying over and over, "Wow, these are awesome seats!" The Diamondbacks played really well and ended up winning the game 4-1. Once the game was over we stayed and watched the Friday night fireworks. It was so wonderful not having to worry about getting home to make sure our kids were in bed or to relieve a babysitter. We just relaxed and enjoyed our time!

Saturday morning we went to breakfast at TCEgginton's. It was Soooo good! We then did a little shopping and our last adventure was going to see Harry Potter. We got in before noon so we only had to pay $5 a person. Whoohoo!!! It turned out to be a pretty good movie too!

When we got back our kids didn't even seem to miss us (that's a good thing since I was really worried they would have a hard time.) It was so wonderful to go almost 24 hours without any kids! No screaming, no whining, no tempur tantrums...it was great! I really, truly love my kids but it was so wonderful to have time just to focus on one another. Thanks for a wonderful time Jared! I love you and have enjoyed our six years together! You are the best and I'm so grateful to have you by my side!!!
