Just like kids again!

This past week has been so much FUN! We have had quite a few adventures!!

Last week, we went to the Santa Barbara County Fair to see Clint Black. We went with my sister Samantha and her boyfriend, Steven. I ran into quite a few old friends and friends of the family, and enjoyed a great show with my man! We have never been to a concert together, and was so happy to be able to share one of my favorite pastimes with my hubs! After the show we all headed to the ferris wheel, and for a meager $5 a person, we were able to ride! We got our own "cart" and had great time. Who doesn't want to kiss the man of their dreams at the top of the world!? (Well, top of Santa Maria) We cruised down Broadway, hit up Taco Bell, and bumped Jason Aldean all the way home!

A few days later, we went to the Santa Barbara Zoo with the fam! It was Melissa's birthday, so we thought that it would be a fun activity for Carson and us "big kids". Carson loves birds, and adored the flamingos! He likes the monkey's a lot, too! The weather was hot and that makes a baby grumpy pants. He was done fairly quickly, so we headed to the Elephant Bar. There, Carson assaulted our waiter with a straw and menu. He was a good sport. No charges will be pressed. ;)

Now for today, I spent the day with my Grandpa
and Nancy and Carson! Dev went golfing with Danny, but he joined up with us and went to Mi Amore. YUMO. Devins order was wrong so they had to fix it. Pet Peeve Alert!!!!!! I should do a series on pet peeves.

After we got home, here comes the "just like kids". We watched Red Riding Hood, which was uber creepy, FYI. My man and were prancing in the fog out front and decided to bang on the windows to scare Pam and Bobby. They were scared alright. I am quite the giggler so I had to hide in the neighbors bushes momentarily so that my fits of laughter bust us.This charade lasted about thirty minutes of us running, hiding, attacking. Haha! We got busted, but it took me back to high school and college and all the times was forced to stay in the car because I was too loud. My apologies. :)

I used to think one day, they'd tell the story of us...

Devin and I met on the internet. Go ahead, laugh. We were both coming out of awful relationships and playing the field. Devin was working in Park City at the time, and drove over to Provo after work to hang out with me and my roomies. He totally ended up kissing me that night. I thought I wouldn't ever hear from him again, but he actually responded to my text the next day! We talked back and forth all day long. The next morning he showed up at my work (45 minutes away from him!) with flowers. The office secretary said, "Oh! He is a keeper!" I wasn't totally sure. After a romantic lunch at Taco Bell, he asked me to be his girlfriend. How corny! But, I said yes of course! Things moved quickly. We ended up stuck in Park City together and had to stay the night at the Marriott due to the weather. My mom was terrified and said, "I watch CSI! Be careful!" Devin and I just stayed up late and talked. That is when he told me he was falling in love with me.He even sang a song to me. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry! Haha! I was feeling the same way. It was so fast, yet so real, and exactly how I thought it should feel! I was smitten! He kept bringing up marriage. I had recently been engaged to a loser-extrordinare, and didn't want to rush into anything. He backed off and said, "Oh yea, me niether!" A few days later we were talking and he looked at me and said, "This is ridiculous, we know we are going to get married!" The next day we went ring shopping! He proposed on January 30, 2008. I was called to the main office and was told the prinicpal wanted to see me. I was kind of nervous! I had just talked to Devin on the phone, and as far as I knew, he was at home! I was also under the impression the ring would be out getting sized for atleast another week. I was not suspicious at all. I walked into the office and saw several flowers, but thought nothing of it. The secretary told me to go around the corner. As I turn, Devin pops out of the nurses office and drops to one knee. In my shocked state, I exclaimed, "You're doing this HERE!?" We laughed, we cried, he got on with it and I said yes. We were married 5 months later, and the rest is history. Or the present. And you get to read about it!
