Every year, the Super Bowl corresponds with my birthday.  Luckily, for me, that means that I have a VERY happy and excited husband the week of my birthday.  Truth be told, he was checking Super Bowl ticket prices up until 4:00 pm Sunday afternoon.  Zach has this master plan (for when the 49ers make it to the Super Bowl) how to go to the Super Bowl the most economical way possible.  That would take a whole extra post to explain, so instead I will just get to the highlights of this last week.

Jazz vs. the Clippers later that night

The actual weekend was spent dining at Zach’s favorite, Benihana.

We decided to have a super last minute stay-cation after seeing a sweet deal for an overnight at the Grand America.  I wanted desperately to get away, but couldn’t get the time off work.  So instead, Zach went the extra mile and got me as far away as he could, without leaving at all.

Even though we were there for a very short period – we relaxed while reading our favorite magazines, Zach took hot baths with his favorite beverage, I pinned until I fell asleep….

We spent Saturday at our neighbors’ baptisms – which were incredible!  We also did some birthday shopping, attended Man on a Ledge…

tried on neon + leopard socks, grubbed at the OG, and prepped for the next days events.

Sunday after church we set off to the Classic Super Bowl party – hosted every year by my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.  We always eat too much and laugh hysterically at all the kiddos in seventh heaven skating their hearts out.  This year, the inflatables were a big hit as well.

Here’s Frankie and I hanging in the inflatables.  She knows exactly what to do when you hold a camera phone up to her face…

Charlie and I in Pirates’ Cove – watching the older kids slide and swing around.

We had such a fun week!  BUSY – but fun.  Thanks to all my friends and family for the text/calls/messages.  I am one lucky twenty-five-year-old.
