Lately...

So this past weekend was filled with birthday celebrations! We started it out doing dinner at my parents house for Chrissi, Josh, Tonya and Natalie...we have lots of birthdays in September! We cooked out hamburgers and hotdogs, and had some yummy guac and desserts :) What a fun night with my family!!

Then on Friday we went out with some friends for chrissi and Josh's bdays. We started out eating at Frontera and then went bowling! Of course, that is always good times! Josh loves to bowl and I know he was so happy to finally get to bowl! I was horrible, but everyone else did really well, haha, oh well!!

Saturday was Josh's birthday!! He is 24 years old :) We woke up that morning and I told him what his surprise was...I was taking him to big canoe for the weekend. I had gotten a cabin for us until Monday. We decided to go to downtown cartersville for breakfast. We never go down there when the cute little shops and diners are open! We checked out Ross' Diner and LOVED it. It had such the small town diner atmosphere and some YUMMY biscuits and hashbrowns. We will be going back for sure!! We then packed up for Big Canoe and headed to our neice Natalie's 2nd birthday party! It was so much fun. They had a huge 15 ft waterslide in the backyard and LOTS of pizza :) They did a great job on her party! Unfortunately Josh and I had to leave early to make it to Big Canoe!

What an adventure we had that night...

We checked in at 4:30 and got our condo key and headed there! It was a cute little condo with a great view of the golf course and lake. It had a screened in porch and regular porch. BUT there was one problem...from the moment we walked in it just smelled musty and like it hadn't been opened up in about a year. AND to make it worse, the toilet had green mildew growing on it! YUCK! Josh and I knew we couldn't take it for the weekend. Our throats were already starting to hurt. So long story short after going back and forth with housekeeping and the lady on the emergency cell of big canoe, we finally told her we wanted a new place. So she came back up and said the only place they had available was a 2 bedroom, 3 bathroom house on top of the mountain. But we would have to pay for the upgrade and we could deal with trying to get that taken away next week, but she couldn't make us any promises. Ugh, what a pain. So at 7:30 we finally got checked in and headed out to dinner before going to our house bc we were starving!! We went to Appalachia Grill and had a YUMMY YUMMY dinner! We decided we could splurge bc of our rough night and it was Josh's birthday! haha :)

We then went to the grocery store to get some food for the rest of the weekend. Sunday was spent just enjoying one another. We did some exploring and went to the pool and lake and relaxed. Played some banangrams and watched Runaway Bride! Haha, I know it doesn't sound too exciting but we really had a blast. When we get into the routine of being here we sometimes forget how important that time with each other really is in a marriage! I love my husband and am so thankful for him!! He does so much to take care of me and soon to be Jakson too! He works so hard and I am so blessed to be married to a man who loves me so much and takes care of my every need. I love him so much and can't wait to see what the Lord continues to do in his life. He is going to be a daddy in a couple of months and I can't wait to watch him :) I LOVE YOU JOSH!!

Monday we woke up and were lazy with each other and then checked out and headed home to get our pups!! We then went back to andrew and tonya's to take advantage of the slide that was still at their house!

Phew, What a wonderful weekend!!
