Valentines Gift

So I can't believe that on my last post I didn't even say anything about the wonderful gift that Brian got me.

He got me a 75 minute peppermint pedicure from Elante Day Spa.

For Christmas I got enough gift cards for a 90 minute Deep tissue massage.

Now I'm ready for a couple hours at the spa!! I'm so excited!!

Thank you Baby!!!

Valentines Day

My Valentines started on Friday.

I got a beautiful arrangement of a dozen roses delivered to me at work.

I got up on Valentines morning and I am in no way a wonderful cook.

I made Brian a breakfast with a touch of love.

I did pancakes in the shape of hearts with cheese eggs and sausage.

I decided instead of planning stuff to just go with the flow. I put a few choices in a bucket and we drew out different activities to do.

The first thing that we drew was go to the flea market and buy something wierd. I forgot to take a picture of the thing but it's a two liter caddy. It's a plastic thing that fits around a two liter bottle that has a handle so you can hold your bottle with a handle instead of it slipping out of your hands. It's definately wierd.

The next thing that we did was go to Shooters Choice. Which is a gun range here in town. It was actually pretty fun. We shot a 38 special revolver. I have to say that it was very empowering. (Mary Beth, I think that a CWP will be awesome!!) Brian says next time we are going to shoot something with a little more power.

Then we went to the movies. We went and saw The Uninvited. It was a very strange movie and I would not suggest this to anyone. Very wierd!!!

Then we went home and took showers and got ready to go to dinner. We drew Outback Steakhouse out of the bucket for our dinner choice but when we were driving by Olive Garden Brian really wanted to eat there. We were expecting to have to wait at least an hour but it was okay since we ate such a big breakfast late. Our dinner was very good and it was great to have a whole day of Valentine activities. It was a great day!!!

Very Special Parents

Happy 30th Anniversary Mom & Dad!!

I love how much my parents love eachother.

This pic is from Rachel and Benjamins wedding. My mom had finished chemo and radiation and her hair was finally starting to grow out. My dad was a wonderful example of how a man should love a woman when she was going through the cancer treatments. My mom is so strong and always had a positive attitude. I am very grateful that my parents are sealed in the temple and that they are such great examples to us.

.

Oh the memories when we used to think that my dad was so silly but he has always been proud of his children.

My mom has always been there for me through EVERYTHING!! I couldn't be more blessed!


And look what great kids they have!!
Happy Anniversary!!!

Happy Birthday Rachel!!!

Happy Birthday Rachel.

Now I know that I am a day late but I just want to do a post for my sister.

She is never embarrased about anything and she knows the right way to eat watermelon.

She is a wonderful mother and loves her children very much.

She is also a great sister. She has been there for me anytime I needed her.

Her children love her very much too!!

We love you Rachel!!!

Our Christmas Cards:

Christmas Decorations

Okay, so it's been a really long time since I posted. Nothing great has really happened. But I'll do a couple posts now. First things first.

I LOVE Christmas and the lights. So here are a few pics of our home all lit up.

I know there is a dark place on the one side of the house but for some reason who ever did the bushes didn't plant one more on that side. There is a little tree there but my lights for it burnt out and I haven't had the chance to get some more.

Here is our beautiful REAL tree!! I don't like fake ones. I suck it up and save a little to be able to get a real one. They usually cost $60-$80. But I love real trees!
