farm boy's big 2-4 celebration

way back on may 17th of this year, my favorite farm boy turned the big 2-4!

don't let the young stud in him fool you, he is starting to get up there in age now. i mean he is almost half way to 50. ouch! the giant chocolate shake he is enjoying below was our way of "celebrating" his birthday after a day of working on the hog farms (which is a whole another story for some other time). we had actually drove 45 minutes to the "big city" of cedar city to run errands, but all the birthday boy wanted was to eat his birthday dinner at beaver's local little town diner, el bambi. and i do not blame him one bit, because they cook up some amazing comfort food, diner style of course. 

and that my friends was the extent of our celebration...until the end of july when we could finally enjoy the birthday gift i had bought for him way back in march.

jason aldean is one of our favorite country singers, so when i heard he was coming to salt lake, i knew it was the perfect surprise birthday gift for my farm boy. 

it was quite the show with not only jason aldean, but his opening acts thomas rhett and jake owen. we had heard a few songs by thomas rhett, but loved him so much more live. he was a great opening act! we loved the entire show, especially since jason aldean played his song flyover states, which includes some great shout outs to indiana. who wouldn't love that!

happy belated birthday to my favorite farm boy, and my best friend. hopefully we can celebrate your quarter century birthday even bigger next year!

wednesday already!

happy hump to you all! this weeks seems to be flying by already. i mean come on its already wednesday!

i was feeling a little under the weather last night, but it gave me a chance to relax at home and spend some time catching up on homework while i stayed warm in some comfy clothes watching a little great gilmore girls. and it might of also gave me an excuse to order some chinese food :) dairy boy hasn't been a huge fan of chinese lately and since he was already back home in idaho sleeping away for the early morning milking today, i took advantage of my solo night to eat some not-so-good for me food.

the last thing i wanted to do this morning was exercise, but i pushed through it and headed to the fieldhouse anyway. i decided to do an elliptical workout and then call it good. this one came from one of my usual go to spots for workouts, PBFingers. it was a great workout! i mean 18 resistance and incline is crazy! i not only got a great leg workout, but arms as well. be prepared to sweat with this one. 

i've been working on-campus all afternoon and with not much of "work" to actually do, so i tackled some more homework and reading for school. i have so much going on the next week with school, including four exams! yep, four! i need to buckle down and stay on top of things for the next few days. in between all of my reading, studying, and tidbits of work to do i've desperately been searching pinterest for a fun, cute, and super delicious valentine's dessert slash birthday cake to make next week.
