Babymoonaversary Staycation 2013

Are you guys ready for a butt load chunk of pictures?
Because I have a ton.
And you cannot control the amount of pictures I flood this blog with.
Just another freedom you have lost thanks to Obamacare.

So this weekend/weekish we had our babymoonaversary staycation. For the untrained mind, that means we celebrated our anniversary as well as our last trip without a baby all while staying in the comfort of our own home.Originally, we were going to head down to St. George to celebrate but then we decided the money spent on gas, hotel, and good could be instead used to do fun things in Salt Lake and to buy present for ourselves and baby. Also, food.

So here's our celebrations! This should probably be split into a few posts.. but.. I don't care.

Thursday and Friday were the first two days of my Spring Break. All that really happened was that I went to the doctor and walked around Liberty park a bunch of times. One day I wore my moccasin slippers because they are comfortable and I am carrying an extra load and people gave me funny looks. Oh well!

I met Nathan for a picnic on Friday. You guys, the sun was so hot, it was burning my legs!!! It was soooo awesome!!!!!! We met at one of our favorite parks down town. It's getting to the time of the year when I absolutely fall back in love with this city.

When Nathan came home Friday night, we started celebrations the only way we know how: Del Taco and frozen yogurt. Then we browsed Deseret Book and Michaels.

 We came home and crafted all night while watching Friends. Nathan is a big sport for endlessly painting frames for me. I made him do a million coats. But by the end of the weekend, I had finished all the crafts for the little lady's nursery! I don't want to post pictures until the nursery is finished though.

 

Saturday we decided would be our anniversary, even though it's technically this weekend. But Conference is this weekend and my family is in town, so we celebrated early! We slept in, then went to City Creek for lunch.

On our first year dating anniversary, we did a "trip down memory lane" kinda thing where we visited places that were important to us and our relationship. Since that was 5 years ago, we decided to do it again! It's so fun to drive around Salt Lake and remember all the things we have done. We are super cool people, you guys.

We went shopping and bought ourselves way too many anniversary presents. (Picking out your own presents is the best sometimes). We also bought a special outfit for our little girl. My parents just bought their house in England and we are getting very excited for Christmas over in Europe! This will be her "bashing around London" outfit.

After a nice nap, Nathan surprised me with dinner at The Roof! I was so stoked. With my pregnancy appetite, a fancy buffet is the most perfect thing in the world!

This is me, all ready to eat!

I got a "dirty diet coke" which sounds alcoholic but basically it's filled with lime and coconut and it changed my life.

So much food.. ohhh it was Heavenly.

Then we played around on Temple Square

Sunday was Easter and candy and Church and candy and happiness and pork roast with mashed potatoes and A LOT more candy! We also found a new park we love. We really enjoy parks. But only if they have ducks.

Donuts, drives, dinosaurs, and 3D on Monday. That's all you really need to know.

Today is devoted to laying around, doing nothing, and pretending we don't have to get back to real life tomorrow. Oh real life. You suck.

I applaud you if you read to the end. It was such a fun and relaxing break. I feel completely recharged and ready to finish out these last few weeks of work. I am so thankful to have had the chance to spend so much time alone with my awesome husband. Life is gonna change big time next month, so it was fun to be lazy and kinda irresponsible for a few days. We made it one year and we had our babymoon (sorry mom, I know you hate that word) now all we need is for this little girl to join us!
