It seems strange to me,

That the older you get the FASTER life goes by.
I remeber being a kid waiting for Christmas to get here, it seemed as though it would never come.
Now I find myself every year thinking "dang how did it get here so fast! I'm not ready!!"
-----------------------------------------
I love fall, I love everything about fall, and I'm ready.
Ready for brilliant leaves and
the smell of wet leaves
pumpkins, apples, squash and a cornicopia of other fresh vegetables.
Sweaters, jeans and cool air.
College football
Sigh... It's been a wonderfull summer, but I am ready for fall.

Ribs, Jack, and more ribs

Aaron celebrated his 27th Birthday last Friday. We celebrated by eating... A LOT... ALL weekend. We kicked it off Thursday night when his parents took us out to Red Robin for dinner (their chocolate shakes are the best!), after dinner we went to my sisters house for our weekly Project Runway party where she presented him with a WHOLE cookie sheet of peanut butter bars!
    Friday we played hookey from work and left at 12:00 and headed over to Sugar House BBQ where we promptly stuffed ourselves full of yummy ribs, brisket, pulled pork and of course you can't forget those infamous potatoes. We then decided that we were much to full to move and that taking a cat nap at Liberty park to sleep off the food coma that was setting in sounded much more appealing. (It was a perfect day 82 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.)
   After the nap we of course decided we were in need of desert and bought blizzards and frozen yogurt at the Gateway while purchasing some much needed back to school clothes (sigh). We then proceeded to Usana to stake our claim on the lawn for the Jack Johnson concert (which was SO much fun. We even managed to view part of the meteor shower while listening to the music.) all the while munching on extremely over priced Kettle Korn and Icees.
   Saturday was my annual work picnic at Liberty park that is catered by Famous Dave BBQ, yup you guessed it more ribs and brisket however we did add chicken to our repertoire that night as well. We chased that down later that night with what else... more popcorn and of course more peanut butter bars.
   Sunday my parents invited us over to there house for dinner to celebrate with them where we had more yummy ribs (the boneless kind, my personal fav), tons of fruit salad, and the traditional birthday cake and ice cream.
  It was a perfect way to celebrate Aaron's birthday cause if there is one thing the boy loves it's FOOD! We had a great time celebrating with our families and a great time being lazy together in Salt Lake, even if our clothes may be fitting a little tighter today.
