Michael got all kinds of goodies that we have been enjoying this past week. We got him the magic bullet for his protein shakes and smoothies (I have enjoyed using it to chop chicken and onions with as well).
His mom and Pete sent him a flat screen for the bedroom. Our elyptical is in our bedroom (so romantic i know) and we are super pumped about being able to watch TV while we run. Also when Isaiah goes to bed we would love to just curl up in bed and watch a movie (we are showing our age i know). hahaha
My parents got the Kuereg one cup coffee maker. It has been so fun trying SO many new flavors of coffee. Each morning is a new experience!
David and Kristen sent him a Lord's Gym shirt to work out in. He has been wanting one of these forever!
He also got some money from his dad, marianne and his grandma. I'd say he did pretty well....and that was just the beginning of the surprises and fun!
Friday, after he got off work, I surprised him with a babysitter for Isaiah. We then went out to dinner with our friends the Devereauxs' and the Blichers'. We started off at Natalie's for discount pitchers and wings. Again, I am going to show my age, but the table behind us was so loud and rowdy we couldn't wait to get out of there. So after we ate we headed to the Red Door Wine Market to induldge in some craft beers, wine, low key music and fire pits under the Florida palm trees. Now that's my kind of good time!
Saturday morning we were up and at it again. We headed up to Lakeland's annual PigFest with our friends the Parmers' and the Churchs' where we induldged in some of the best bar b que I have ever had. And this is coming from a Memphis girl! We sampled ribs, bar b que nachos, pulled pork, redneck salad (homemade french fries smothered in nacho cheese, pulled pork, jalepenos and bbq sauce) and a pulled pork eggroll (stuffed with slaw, pulled pork and bbq sauce). It was FAN TAS TIC ! We washed it all down with an Arnie Palmer (sweet tea mixed with lemonade).
After we left PigFest we loaded up the car and Isaiah was passed out before we left the parking lot. We had an errand to run which ended up taking a little longer than I thought so we decided not to interrupt Isaiah's nap and we drove out to Plant City to find the country's best strawberry milkshake at Parkesdale Farms. Slap ya Mamma cuz this thing was A MAZ ING ! There must have been something in the air because we ran into the Garmon family and later discovered Stephanie had taken Carson for his first shake that same day!
After we stuffed our faces and rolled ourselves home we relaxed in our pj's for a few hours. Around 630 our small group and the Fazios came over to watch the UFC fight (of course the girls hung out in the living room). It was a fun time!
Sunday morning we were up and headed to church to thank the Lord for all His blessings. And boy oh boy do we have lots to be thankful for! After church we just kept on going! We headed to Orlando to take advantage of our annual Sea World passes. Isaiah had so much fun watching the shows and copying the animal sounds. We saw sting rays, dolphins, whales, sea lions, sharks, puppies, cats, birds, pigs, baracudas and polar bears. We even got super brave and sat in the splash zone at the shamu show. Isaiah didn't think it was as funny as we did, but he was a trooper.
After a full day at Sea World we headed to downtown disney for dinner at the TRex Cafe. It is all decked out with prehistoric creatures on the inside. Every 15 minutes the animals come to life. It is awesome....almost as awesome as the coronarita we shared!
It was a great weekend. I felt like we had been on vacation. It was so nice to make some memories with two of my favorite guys. Isaiah even wrapped up the long weekend by sleeping in until 10am on Monday morning. THANK YOU ISAIAH!
Michael, I hope you had a wonderful 31st birthday and I look forward to many more celebrations. I LOVE YOU!
