Birthday Boots and more!

This week, Nathaniel and I celebrated both of our 27th birthdays! Mine was last Sat on the 22nd and Nathaniel's on the 27th (making it his GOLDEN bday!)

We kicked off our birthday celebration with a gorgeous fall hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, about 1.5 hrs away from us. The aspens have turned and the weather was perfect. We packed some cold pizza and grapes and ate a lunch atop an old ski lift trail and watched some clouds drift by and glanced around for bears. Didn't see any. darn.

After a fun refreshing hike, we chilled with some nachos and drinks at the ever famous Stanley hotel which was jam-packed with tourists, wedding guests, and people taking pics in front of the "We landed on the moon" poster from Dumb and Dumber. it was great for people watching  =)

We spend my birthday evening with a stroll around downtown Denver, a carmel apple dessert and opening up my BIRTHDAY BOOTS!! I was so excited my hubby got me cowboy boots from Bass Pro Shop, so you know they're pretty legit. I know these boots will become a staple in my wardrobe. My last pair of boots lasted me over 5 years and I wore them with sweatpants, skinny jeans and even my wedding dress. I loved them so, but they only made it until the wedding day. And then I lost them. It was like shedding a part of my singleness after I said "I do".  I still get sad when I cant find any shoes to compliment my favorite fall dress.  but not anymore! New BOOTS are here! Thanks Nathaniel!



Nathaniel also got his studly birthday present from Bass Pro shop as well - a Carhart coat! He cant wait until it's cold enough to wear it.  I think he wears it around the house when I'm not home... 

We finalized our birthday celebration with a fun dinner with some of my new in-laws! luckily the crockpot BBQ pork turned out yummy and the roasted potatoes didn't burn to a crisp. phew. It was a full blown pinterest inspired meal, with the best part being the cookie inside a cookie dessert. mmmmm. Thanks Pinterst.

So thank you to all our friends and family who made it a great week! We love you all and miss those that aren't here! Shout-out to the whole midwest, and some on the east coast! Here's to a great 27th year Nathaniel! Cheers!
