Date Night!!!

On Friday, September 16 we went on a wonderful date night together! We started out going to eat at Lucile's BBQ in Tempe.




Jared got ribs and I got the bbq salad. They were both so good, but we were so full that we couldn't even eat all of it. Then we went to Jesterz comedy club!


We love going out and trying new things together!!! And Jesterz was SOOOO fun we're definitely going there again!

Can I say CUTE??!!!

These are just some pictures of Henslee that her WONDERFUL family sends me on my phone every once in a while! I'm so grateful we have an open adoption!




ASU game!





We had so much fun at the game! especially since ASU won!!! We got seats worth $120 each for only $25 per person!!! We were so lucky!!!! We definitely want to go there again sometime!

Plants!!

When Jared and I first moved into our apartment we thought that some plants on our patio would add to our lovely view we have. So we went to Home depot and bought some new plants and a really cute pot, then we went home and planted them.
After probably 2 weeks we went outside and looked at them and they were dead. We still laugh about our $60 that went down the drain. When ever we go outside and see them we laugh so hard!! Sometimes I'll say hey we should buy more plants, but we both just laugh because we know that will not happen until we have time to take care of them. haha. It's kinda embarrassing, but they are still sitting on our patio... dead.
