Hello people of the internet, I think its been about two weeks since my last post and I can honestly say I have gotten attached to my blog, it feels like second nature to sit here and write down what I'm feeling. This past weekend was a busy one and I wanted to share it with you guys, my sister and I threw one of our best friends a mini girls getaway, I turned 22, and it was Americas birthday! I don't have many pictures because I'm still not getting the hang of capturing everything in order to show you guys but I promise I will get better.
We flew Nancy out here on Saturday night and greeted her with a warm welcome, since it was pretty late when she got here we just went back to our hotel relaxed and caught up about whats been going on in each of our lives. We stayed at the JW Marriot Tempe at the Buttes and were very impressed with the look and feel of this hotel it was kind of like a mini resort, they had two pools, a giant water slide, and a DJ the whole fourth of July weekend they also had a spa and a restaurant called Top of the Rock. Since we did book it for the entire day on Saturday and Sunday I didn't want to let Saturday go to waste so before Nancy got there my husband and I had some fun at the pool. The next day once Nancy had arrived we woke up bright and early and hit up Matts big breakfast in down town Phoenix when we first arrived the place was kind of packed and loud, at first I was a little uneasy because I didn't know if I made the right choice but we only waited a couple of minutes and the vibe was energetic. This place was one of the best breakfast spots I've been too they open at 6 am and close at 2:30 and serve breakfast and lunch. I ordered the fresh squeezed blueberry lemonade which was the perfect combo, for my meal I had the belgian waffle with a side of thick cut bacon, the waffle was the best one I have ever had it was perfectly fluffy and had the right amount of butter and syrup and the bacon was also delicious. I also ordered a side of hash browns. We all left that place feeling extra full because we didn't want to leave anything uneaten. After we were done with breakfast we headed back to the hotel and got ready for the pool. The pool area had a fun atmosphere, there were lots of different families celebrating the holiday and the staff made sure you had everything you needed. We had a fun time swimming and cooling off because it was extremely hot that day. We took advantage of the heat and tanned until we could not take the suns rays anymore. When we were done hanging out by the pool we went back to our room to rest. My sister and nancy took a long nap and I couldn't really sleep so I showered and watched tv for a little. When they woke up it was time for dinner so we got all dolled up and went to Postinos in down town as well. My husband and I are big fans of this restaurant because they not only serve really good food but they had affordable prices and the look of the restaurant is contemporary and fresh, I always leave feeling a little Boojie. I thought it would be perfect to show my sister and our friend how awesome this place was.
On Monday I woke up feeling 22, I've always liked having my birthday on fourth of July because everyone is always in such a festive mood, plus I love having fireworks on my birthday. When I was little my dad used to tell me that the fireworks were because of my birthday so I always felt extra special, of course now I know they aren't but hey it doesn't hurt to pretend. This year my mom informed me that I was rainbow baby. I had never heard of the term before so ill just tell you guys what it means. A rainbow baby is the baby that come after a miscarriage or still born pregnancy. It brings hope and they often refer to those babies as rainbow babies because they offer a sense of happiness after the storm has passed.
My friend was still in town so she showed me haw to make posole it came out delicious and surprisingly it was very easy to make. My husband invited my sister in law over to eat and she brought me a two tiered cake in my favorite colors black and white, she knows me so well! We had planned to go watch the fire works after we dropped Nancy off at the airport but we missed her flight and it took too long trying to find another flight that we just went straight home and went to sleep. This birthday I was showered with gifts, I told my husband he was spoiling me rotten. I received a macbook pro and beats from him and he also paid for half of our girls getaway. My friend got me a laptop case and a Daniel Wellington watch, I was so surprised and felt so thankful with everyone. I felt blessed to have all my close family and friends surrounding me for another birthday celebration. I hope that this year is full of laughter and unforgettable memories with all of my loved ones, because lets face it no body likes you when your 23.... hahah
