Friday night, we went to "Mormon Night with the Padres". They were playing the Arizona Diamondbacks.
It was Levi's first baseball game at Petco Park and I wanted him to have a really good time!
We bought some tickets with my ward (congregation), so we ended up in the nosebleed section. The awesome thing about Petco Park is that there are no bad seats! Every section is pretty awesome!
Since we were there right after work, we ate at Hodad's. Oh my goooodness!! It was so dang tasty!!
Can you see the awesomeness of his burger?!?! Wowzers! We weren't expecting that!! It was so dang delicious!! Oh man.....I would buy a $5 ticket to the park, just to eat at that Hodad's again. Plus, it was nice being back at Hodad's, where we had our second date:
I don't remember the food being that delicious on our 2nd date, probably because I was so nervous that night, 20 months ago. And the Frings (onion rings & fries basket) was AWESOME, Friday night!!! Man, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!
Anywhooo, the game was pretty good but the Padres lost. It was nice to go to a baseball game and be with Levi at his first Petco Park game. I had such a good time with him. He's so much fun!
On Saturday, we had lunch with my ol' friend Bugs & her husband. I haven't seen her for about a year and a half so it was nice to finally be able to catch up with her and introduce them to Levi. We went to the buffet at one of the local casinos and had a grand time! Seriously, it's as if time never came between us. We caught up like dear friends do and it was nice to know that her husband and Levi had a few things in common. We talked, we laughed, we cracked some crab legs and laughed some more. Such a terrific afternoon!
On the way home, we all stopped at the local farmers stand to buy some fresh mangoes & avocados. The man at the stand gave us a few samples of cherries, various honeys and bee pollen. As we drove away, we wished he would have given us the honey after the bee pollen because the pollen left a funny aftertaste. A couple minutes down the road, my bottom lip started to tingle, along with the back of my tongue. I texted Bugs to see if she was having the same reaction. I started to worry when it was just me. Levi continued driving and didn't make a big deal about it. As we got closer to town, I started to lose my voice and I sounded very raspy. I don't know how this was happening so quickly. Part of me thought it was the pollen and the other part of me thought it was all the smoke in the casino and the cold night air, the night before. I didn't want to freak, but it was weird how quickly I was losing my voice and how I couldn't clear my throat/chest. We stopped at 7/11 and got Slurpees which helped my throat a little. We drove over to Wal Mart and immediately went over to the medicine aisle. I was freaking out a little more because I started to lose more of my voice and it was a strain to even speak over a whisper. Levi is very good at staying calm when I start to lose my cool; this was one of those moments. I ripped open the box of Benadryl, popped a pill and chugged my Slurpee. Within 10 minutes, my voice started to return slightly. We went home, put away our groceries and a half hour later I was out cold! When I woke up around 9, I was still groggy and very sleepy. What's in that stuff?!?! Crazy Benadryl! I felt a lot better and my voice returned to normal. I don't know what happened, if it was the pollen or not, but I don't think I'll be doing any pollen sampling anytime soon! I felt like I was Hitch! (love that movie!)
Wow.....what a weekend!! I always enjoy my time off with my sweetheart. It makes me ever so grateful to be getting married to this man, so so soon!
