Anthony's 30th Birthday

I had been planning for over a month to take Anthony to the ASU vs U of A football game the Saturday before his birthday.  Going to college football games is something we have enjoyed doing together and we hadn't yet gone to an ASU game together so I thought it was perfect timing.  When we woke up Saturday morning, I had him open his gift and that is when he found out about the game and his new Pat Tillman ASU throwback jersey.  He was so excited to try it on (it fit him perfectly) and get to wear it to the game that night.

It was a very exciting game since the score was pretty close the whole time.  We decided to leave with a few minutes left in the 4th quarter to beat the crowd.  Since we were up by 10 we didn't think it would be a big deal, but by the time we reached our car, U of A had scored two touchdown which left ASU trailing by 4 and they ended up losing the game :(  We still had a good time, but it was a late night for us! 

Since my mom's Ironman was on Sunday, we spent Anthony's birthday running all over town.  We headed home in between her swim and run to spend some time with Anthony's family.  We had them over for Del Rio Tortilla soup and peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that Marian made.  It was nice just to hang out with them, but we were exhausted!  Must be that old age creeping up. Speaking of old age, ever since Anthony has turned 30, I have noticed the following things:

• He keeps saying he needs to have "man-strength" now
• Just as soon as he says he needs to have "man-strength", he says he is giving up on working out
• It takes him a little longer to get out of bed in the morning
• He has turned into a lumberjack
• I offered him peanut butter cookies and he wouldn't take them (this has NEVER happened)
• He gets more handsome everyday

To sum it all up, Anthony said "I am married, have a baby on the way, a homeowner, and I have a beard"...guess it doesn't get any more "30" than that! :)  I'm sure I will hear all about it next year when it's my turn, but I am looking forward to growing old with Anthony!
