I Heart Fridays


Tonight was date night with my handsome guy and it a good one. We left our little one at home with his grandma and grandpa and headed out for a night on the town. We started off with dinner at our very favorite little Japanese food place... Yokos. Seriously one of the best places you can eat in Mesa. We've been coming here together since we were in high school and it is so good. For me, Yakisoba without the eggs and meat. For him, Koom Pong Kee. Yum.
After dinner we headed across the street to Mesa High to enjoy some of the finest entertainment in town, the fall musical. This year it was 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' and it was super fun. Both of Nathans little brothers were in it and they were awesome. Kind of reminds me of my own Mister Speakman, about 7 or 8 years ago...
When the show was over we headed home. Along the way we stopped by Starbucks for one of our very favorite deserts... Venti Vanilla Bean Frappacinos. If you've never had one before just know that it is like a vanilla milkshake on crack. After our Starbucks run we saw a crazy guy driving his car on the curb going about 40 mph through our neighborhood. And because we are law abiding type of people, we called our local law enforcement to make a report. That was awesome. Hope your Friday was awesome too.

Look What I Have!

A series of simple text messages to my husband was all it took...

"Maybe you should get me a box of Krispy Kremes on your way home."
followed by,

"I mean only if you really want too."
and then followed by,

"Don't come home without the Krispy Kremes!"


I love my husband!

Tonto Natural Bridge


Nathan and I managed to pull ourselves away from the coziness of our not so little cabin during our anniversary retreat this past weekend long enough to enjoy the beauty of the Tonto Natural Bridge. We drove to the park early Friday afternoon to enjoy a picnic and then spent the rest of the day hiking the area. The best part is we had the whole place to ourselves! I think we saw maybe two or three other people the whole time we were there.

This place was beautiful. My pictures cannot do it justice. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you go sometime. You won't be sorry. The hike is not difficult and it is so worth it.



We hiked back out and then over to the back side of the bridge where there are more waterfalls. This was my favorite hike of the day! Everything was beautiful and green and the further in we went the more impossible it became to keep dry.



And how about a picture of Nathan making a crazy face for the camera. He is silly.
And I failed to mention a big, big thank you to my mother and my father for keeping Auden safe and happy all weekend so I could enjoy some alone time with my husband. Thank you mom and dad! We love you!

Pine-ing

On our way to Pine, AZ
We are back! Our weekend get-away to the cabin in Pine was everything a trip to the mountains should be. Relaxing, fun, romantic, spooky, and even a little bit snowy. In a word, perfect!

We stayed here! A huge 4 bed, 3 bath cabin with 2 living rooms, a huge game room, big kitchen and dining area, 2 upstairs lofts and a big wrap around porch to top it all off. All that space just for the two of us. This is part of what made our trip a little spooky. Also because it was dark outside when we arrived Thursday, and the lights inside the cabin were on. We sat outside in our car just watching, waiting to see somebody moving around inside. When we finally got up the courage to go in, we had to open every door, turn on every light, and look under every bed to make sure we really were alone. Don't worry, we were.

The floor to ceiling windows on both sides of the cabin were perfect for enjoying the view.

And what a view it was! Neighboring cabins were nowhere in sight. Just the pine all around us and the mountains in the distance. We spent a lot of time outside on this deck.


And there was snow! Not a lot, but still enough to enjoy a good snowball fight or two.
(p.s. I won.)
And now, scenes from inside the cabin:
Welcome to the Cabin!


We spent a most of our weekend cozied up in front of this fireplace.

The house was full of cute antique decor. My favorites were the brass pots on the wall of the kitchen (above) and the old Underwood typewriter (below).

Want to plan your own little get-away to Pine? Want to stay where we stayed (and we highly recommend that you do.)? Visit our friend Jack at http://members.cox.net/jackwolf1/ to see more of this cabin and his other rental homes.
Thanks Again Jack!
