Birthday Weekend

I had the best Birthday this year. On the actual day I worked so I could get the next two days off for a mini vacation but I still had a great time going out to lunch with my friends and then going out to dinner with Dusty and seeing Wolverine (which I might add is a great movie). Dusty also made me my favorite Lemon cake and with all 27 candles, it was quite a task to blow them all out at once!!

Dusty bought me a hanging basket and hook that I have wanted for such a long time but could never justify the cost so it was one of my present highlights. My Mum also sent me the lovely bouquet of flowers which was a great surprise! Any one that knows me knows I have a soft spot for flowers so it cheered my day up immensely!

We then went to St. George on Thursday and as soon as we got out the car it was like being in an oven - I loved it but I got very tired the first day as you can see...

Dusty always has to find a mine where ever he is...

He also has to find deadly creatures. We looked under every stone and bush trying to find a rattle snake but we only found a black widow and a lot of lizards.

Hiking around - I just love it there.

Do you like the flower I got for him....so cute!!

Coming down from the mountain was pretty steep and a little scary!

After relaxing for a night at a lovely hotel, we went camping and found a great spot and hiked to the top of the nearest mountain. There's nothing more satisfying than reaching the top and looking around - it was also just in time for the sunset.

Don't ask me what I'm doing in this photo - I have no idea!

Reaching the top.....

Ah - Sunset!

We also went looking for a geo cache that night and while walking to it there was a hiss in the bushes and low and behold there was Dusty's rattlesnake! It was crazy to find it when we weren't even looking but it made the trip for Dusty! It just made me nervous about walking in the dark!

Happy belated! I wondered why you were in St. George. But not overly wondered, because you two are always going places. I'm glad you had a good birthday. And that picture in which you asked us NOT to ask what you were doing....it doesn't matter, cause you look super hot! Just fyi.
