Anniversary Date!!!!

So, I made arrangements for my dear mom and dad to watch our kids for us this weekend. So my husband and I could have a REAL date night for our anniversary!!!! I got all dressed up and EVERYTHING!!!! (which means, I actually wore makeup and NO hat! woohoo!!) We had a reservation at a resort over in Scottsdale, so we checked in and headed over to Carraba's (One of my fav's!! they have the BEST ceasar salad!) After dinner, we thought about catching a movie, but couldn't really decide. Where do you think we ended up at???!!!! (See next picture)
Can you believe it?!!! Sports Authority!! I laughed throughout the WHOLE store! Nathan thought I was crazy. I just couldn't help it! Here I am, all dressed up, and we end up at Sports Authority!! That's just totally us, oh well.
But the trip was WELL worth it! Because I got this watch, which I've been DYING to get for running. It keeps track of how far I've ran, what my speed is, my time...all that good stuff!! I'm so stoked!!!! (Oh and my chiro gave me the "thumbs up" to start running again!! YAY!!!!)


After the excitement of Sports Authority we dared to be adventurous AGAIN and eat Gelato for the first time. It was so good! I couldn't believe how rich it was...I got the smallest size (thinking why didn't I get the BIG one??) And I was barely able to finish the smallest one! It was definitely very yummy!

"Normal" people would sleep in Saturday morning and lounge around in their hotel room....Hmmm, but we aren't quite "normal" (obviously!) We love the outdoors and wanted to go hiking, So, we checked out of our room about 8:30 am and headed over to hike up Camelback Mountain...it was awesome and so much fun. It even rained on us a bit on the way up! This squirrel came and found us at the top, he was so funny, he kept coming back for bites of our granola bar!

Us at the top of Camelback (Notice the HAT is back! ha!!!)

Thanks for a GREAT weekend babe! I love ya!
