I am passionate about laughing, fitness, baking yummy treats, and of course marriage! ;) My husband and I pick up every summer and move to a new state for his job, which is perfect for us because we LOVE adventure and to travel! Our favorite places to go are Disneyland (of course!) OR Harry Potter World. The way to my heart is Dr. Pepper with LOTS of ice, video games (I'm a kid at heart) and Hot Cheetos. Yummy!

  1. My man’s birthday is coming up next month–I’ve done a couple of these ideas in the past for other occasions, and they are always met with delight. This year I am going the groupon route, and we are going bouldering (well, HE is going, I will watch. I am 6.5 months pregnant and think I will feel much safer on the ground!), then I am treating him to a 90-minute massage afterwards. All this after our midwife appointment where he will get to hear our baby’s heartbeat for the first time! 🙂

  2. These are some really cool ideas. I think I’ll send the URL of your blog to my girl since my birthday is coming up in a few months. 😉
