St. George

Earlier this year we went to St. George as sort of a last getaway before the baby comes. Everyone we told called it a "baby moon" whatever that means. I guess people do this a lot? Who knows. Anyway, we stayed at JJ's aunt and uncle's house. We slept in, went out to eat, we sat in the hot tub- well JJ did, got some sun.... it was just fun to get away and not think about work or school or anything. I usually dread the car rides to anywhere, but a lot of times they are one of the funnest parts. JJ sings his heart out to Brad Paisley, we play the "guess who sings this song" game (only with country songs though), and we get really good snacks that we're always excited to munch on. Mine is always twizzlers and JJ loves Dill Pickle sunflower seeds, and he'll get some kind of chocolate along the way.

This first picture isn't the most attractive, but I had to put it on here because it's evidence of my one true craving since I've been pregnant: ROOT BEER. I just can't get enough of it. I've never really had a thing for soda. I don't dislike it, but I'd usually rather have lemonade or something. Now, when I drive past a gas station it's a battle to decide whether or not to stop and get a drink! I can't believe it. I don't ever stop but I've gotten close! I wonder if she'll love root beer because of me....

We drove a little ways to watch Jaxon, JJ's little brother, play baseball. I look really annoyed to be there but I was actually enjoying being outside. I think I had gotten mad at JJ over something about McDonald's breakfast.... so dumb!! So that's probably part of why I look annoyed. I was glad we went to watch him. Jaxon is so sweet!

We tried this frozen yogurt from a place called Menchie's and we LOVED it. Maybe it's because we never get frozen yogurt and maybe it's because everything tastes better when you're on vacation and not worrying as much about how much you're spending :) Either way, I love the picture below because I think it describes our personalities. As much as I love chocolate, I can't get away from the fruity flavors- I think this was a mix of strawberry and peach. Kind of boring but sweet and tangy- like me I guess. JJ loves his chocolate, and his also has layers of butterfinger and something else mixed in- which describes him: enticing to look at (at least I think so- ha ha) and a mix of whatever floats his boat that day. But of course his is always better than mine.... even if mine really tasted better than his by the end of our debate he would have me convinced that his is better, just because he's so good at getting people to think like him.... sometimes I hate this, but it makes me laugh at the same time. I love him- even if he does make me think his frozen yogurt is better than mine!!
