The best Weekend Ever...in recent history

Finally, a blog not about Jaxon. Dave and I just got back from our "weekend Away" as it has been referred to during the 5 months of planning. Dave finished his last CPA exam on Thursday (his last as long as he passes...we are all hopeful since he passed his other 3 on the first try) and we rode off into the sunset on Friday morning! Oh what a glorious morning it was!
First of all, having my husband, who does not have a big, giant, life and work altering test over his head is amazing. This is the first time in our 4 and a half years or marriage that I have not been married to a student, or a "student of the CPA exam" that has to come home, and still study! WAHOOOOO!!!
friday morning we put Jaxon down for a nap at Grammie and Papa's and hit the road. First we went to the temple, and it was so peaceful, a perfect way to start the perfect weekend. Then we went to our hotel,a beautiful resort in Scottsdale, got situated, and then went to see Shrek 3. I wasn't too impressed with the movie, but hey, I didn't have to pay a babysitter or rush back home to a child. I also got to snuggle my honey the whole time. Then we went back to the hotel, rested, played some pool, and then went to dinner. We shared a meal at Claim Jumper, and got a piece of their crazy delicious 5 layer choc. cake to go. We enjoyed it in our room for the rest of the weekend. Sat. we got up around 8, went to breakfast at Village Inn, then went to see Pirates III at the Cine Capri. It was pretty good if I do say so myself. We had lunch at an awesome place called Ultimate Pita (or something like that) and it was delicious and healthy. We went back to the hotel, worked out for an hour, (felt great after all the junk food) and then swam for a little while. I could live in the pool, but Dave being so fair...not a huge fan. Then we rested some more and went to a place called Pizza Picazzo for dinner. It honestly has the best pizza I've ever tasted...WOW YUMMY!!! Then we went back to the hotel, rested, played some speed scrabble in the lobby, and watched a movie in the room. This morning we got up at 8 and just hung around until check-out. It was perfect, and relaxing, and such a great way for Dave and I to get reaquianted!!! As an added bonus...there was some sort of strange boom in the bunny population at our hotel and we saw 25 on Friday and 32 on Saturday...
I sure love my Davey J!!!
It was fun to get back to Jaxon, but of course, he still loves Grammie and Papa more, and wasn't all too thrilled to see us...oh well...one day he will realize how much he should love us!!
