Diamonds!!!!!!!

Shine bright like a diamond! So last Friday Cody and I double dated with some of our friends Nate and Tara. Cody and Nate worked at station 8 together for almost 6 months and Nate is a great guy. I've only been around his girlfriend Tara once and that was only for about an hour. She is a doll! So sweet, outgoing and they are so much fun.I was looking forward to getting to know her better, she is just one of those people you know you are going to get along with and we DID. I was also looking forward to spending time with my husband! We were going to meet them at Wall Street, our favorite date night place to eat. My car was low on gas ( I don't know what it is and YES I know it's bad for my car, but I let the gas light come on EVERY time before I fill up) anyway, I had no gas and didn't feel like stopping to put any in so we decided to take Cody's truck even though he was in the process of moving stations. He's been at station 8 for 6 months and really loved it. It's a busy station, Nate is there and he had a pretty great crew. A spot at station 6 (right down the road from our house) became available and Cody's sister James is there ;-) We give them so much crap because they are seriously like sisters. If one gets something cool, the other has to have it and they argue like siblings. They've also been best friends since elementary. The captain at 6 is pretty cool and Cody knows the other 2 guys, so he put in and got it. He had to move everything from his locker and all his bedding so his truck was packed. He unloaded his bedding and a few other things so I could squeeze in the passenger seat. Mary, Cody's mom always keeps Hudson on Fridays. It's been a tradition for almost 3 years. She gets him from daycare and they just have a fun filled Friday afternoon and evening and she brings him home Saturday morning. It's a great little break for mommy too ;) We made a quick stop to say hi to Hud at her house and be on our way. She lives a block away so it's very convenient and I decided not to buckle my seat belt. I know, law breaker. As we are getting back in the truck and heading to dinner, I try to buckle my seat belt and there is something in the way. It caught my attention because it was a pretty gold color, then I noticed it was a bag, then it just went all down hill from there. I consider myself a pretty avid Kay Jewelers shopper. I have the open heart jewelry, I have purchased the pandora bracelet and many charms for my mom for special occasions, I have a watch from there, so I know the bag! I immediately start pulling on the bag and Cody just glances my way and his face drops. He casually asks "What are you doing?" I said "there is something in the way and I can't buckle my seat belt." He said, "Just stop!" Being so hard headed I keep pulling. Finally he opens his bottom console and hands me the bag and says, "you already know, just open it!"
My 30th birthday is coming up in October! I can't believe I just announced that. Just kidding, age ain't nothin but a number and it's never scared me to get "older" I'm totally ok with it and look forward to turning 30. If it's anything close to being as awesome as my 20's. I think I'll be alright. Anywho, I've always wanted diamond studs and what a perfect time to ask for them, 30th birthday!! So he had asked a few months ago, What Do You Want? I have to say, Cody is probably the best gift giver, I always get what I want and MORE. He spoils me. Always has. I mentioned diamond studs and he didn't ask again. A few weeks ago I started looking at all the different options and sending him pictures in case he "forgot" then kinda dropped it.
Back to the bag: I open the little black box and inside are the two most beautiful princess cut diamond stud earrings!!!!!! I start putting them on and he starts telling me the story of him and Nate going one day on shift and staying at Kay for nearly and hour before he decided on them. Then comes the really sad/romantic part. Cody's never really been a romantic, he's sweet and thoughtful just not mushy and romantic and that's ok. He proceeds to tell me he was in the process of finding and B & B in Fredericksburg and we were going to leave next Friday for our anniversary, 6 years on September 8th!! As we were unpacking the car he was going to ask me to get a couple of beers out of the cooler and have the earrings in the cooler :)) What a sweet idea. After the story I told him we could still do that and I would act totally surprised. He said I ruined it. DAMMIT. I didn't even snoop this time. I'm totally a snooper. When I know something is in the works or a surprise is going down, I snoop and bug until I get it out of him or find it. He hates it but I can't help it. I can't stand knowing there is a surprise and not knowing the actual surprise. It's a curse I tell ya.

He's totally over the whole F'Burg idea now :( so we are looking at staying at the Lajitas Resort and Spa in Lajitas, TX. I had also looked at the Gage Hotel in Marathon. It's on my bucket list of places to visit but they are completely booked next weekend.  What a sweetheart I have.
Lots going on in these next few months. Hudson will be turning 4, our 6 year anniversary and this ol geezer turns 30. By the way, Save the Date for October 12th, 80's inspired 30th birthday bash going down at my house. The girls and Cody are throwing me a totally rad 80's themed party.
