Chris' 30th birthday was in August and i wanted to surprise him with a big trip. Well in my dream world that is :) With a ministry salary, their isn't much room for that! So for about 5 months or so prior i saved extra money that i made doing little jobs here and there. So i was able to have enough to have a little getaway to Cleveland, OH. We both have never been. So i planned our little trip :) A few weeks ago we left right after church for Cleveland. My Mom watched Noah over night and our friends Matt and Kristin watched him the next day. We drove the 2 1/2 to 3 hours to get there and checked into our beautiful hotel. Chris and i have a thing for staying in nice hotels! But...we always find the best deals, so its like we are staying at a holiday inn express but not. We always take pictures of our rooms! yes, call us nerds! This hotel is budget friendly yet very modern. It is call Hyatt Place. Look it up! Stay there! 42 inch plasma is every room! come on!! Then we went to a movie- Eagle Eye. So good! Then dinner and back to the hotel. The next day we woke up and had free breakfast. Then went to wonderful Maggianos for lunch. We research and make sure if we are on a trip..Maggianos is included, if it is there. We have been to 5 different locations around the US :) Chris has been to 6. After an amazing amazing lunch we headed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! It was a lot of fun! I was a bit tired by the end due to the pregnancy :) I wanted Chris to feel so special and loved even though i couldn't whisk him away to St. Thomas! And he did. So that makes me happy ;)

I love free!

Chris and I love free stuff! Who the heck doesn't, right? Well something that we have done for a while now is sign up for e-club's online to our favorite restaurants and get usually something free for signing up and then free food on your birthday and anniversary! My birthday was last week and we got to celebrate it for almost 2 weeks! Here is all the free stuff we got....

like father like son

Some of you may not know that Chris Moseley is one heck of a dancer! He only shows off his moves at home...i have tried to get him out on the dance floor! Noah loves to see his Daddy dance as much as me! :) So we captured Noah's dance moves last night!! He is already very good!!

Fridays!

Friday is my favorite day of the week! Chris is off and it is our family day! We try and think of fun, creative, and inexpensive things to do. This particular Friday we went to the Columbus Metropolitan Library downtown. Isn't it beautiful?? Noah loved it! They had a huge kids section with all kinds of fun things to do! Noah was loving playing a computer game with the head phones on. One of our favorites is going to the zoo and Chick-fil-a. They go hand in hand. If you have any fun ideas, send them our way! we always love doing new things!
