the birth of arizona and romantical things

my purple flower

yesterday was not only the day of love, but more importantly the day that arizona made its way into our sweet coalition of states. since both events happened to fall on the same day, i choose to celebrate both for twice the enjoyment of course!

dinner: cafe rio. initially when we decided we were going to go there, we made a deal that spenccer would get a burrito (since he always gets the salad) and i would get a salad (since i always get the burrito). but then spencer had a dream about being forced to buy a burrito against his will, so we compromised on getting what we like and then sharing...a little. the guy at cafe rio was pretty funny. he was like "is this guy with you? you want him to sit at your table? i can put his food on your tray too." hmm. now that i write it it doesn't sound funny at all. i guess you had to be there to appreciate the situation.
my cute little date

after dinner, it was time for some birthday celebrations. holli made the cake, i made the frosting, and we did the dang thing! it looked absolutely phenomenal if i do say so myself. arizona would be proud of our efforts. we created, we posed, we ate.
