Matt turns 35!

Ooooohhhhhhhhh, was I so so SO excited for Matt's birthday! 35 is a BIG birthday year so I had to go BIG for his gift.

Yes, that says "We're GOING!!!" meaning we're going to the Cardinals game!!

I had wanted to get Cards tickets for him in the past but it's kinda hard to get a game that's not on Sunday that's at home. As soon as the Cardinals released their schedule, I was all over that. And imagine my surprise that when I scanned the games, a Monday game against the Baltimore Ravens!! Matt's kept tabs on the Ravens since he graduated high school with Todd Heap, who played tight end for them for several years. I know it's hard to get a gift that's for four months down the road, but thank goodness he's a patient guy!

For Matt's birthday dinner, he chose to go to Lucille's Barbecue. The first Lucille's we went to was in SoCal while we were in optometry school. SO good! It was always slammed busy with crazy long waits on weekends. Imagine our surprise when a couple years ago, a Lucille's opened up here in Tempe! Since the kids are getting a little older, we're trying to branch out from typical "kid" restaurants and expose them to good food. We ordered a whole slew of things to share between us. They did pretty good and trying new things!
