Anyway! Our weekend began as follows:
-Friday, my sis picked me up from student teaching and I got to hang out with her and Matt till Justin picked me up. We made yummy cookie cakes for our hubbies! Then Justin picked me up and we went to our Marriott downtown SLC and checked in, got ready then ate dinner at The Roof restaurant. The food was delicious, unfortunately I feel like buffets are wasted on me but we stayed there for a while trying to let food settle so we could keep going back for more! The deserts were scrumptious...yuuummm I want to go back just thinking of them!
-Saturday we woke up bright and early (darn our bodies and their internal alarm clocks!) but were able to rest in bed before getting in our suits and going to the hot tub. This Marriott has their hot tub on the 2nd floor, surrounded by huge floor to ceiling windows so while it was a wintery/snowy wonderland outside we were nice and toasty in the hot tub...ahh relaxing! We got ready and had another yummy (breakfast) buffet at the hotel. We then packed and headed up to Park City for some outlet-store shopping. We hit nearly every store and racked up on the President's Day weekend sales! We headed back to Provo around 4:00, and upon arrival back to our lovely abode I found a gorgeous bouquet of flowers on our counter. I get so excited over flowers ever since I took the Floral Arrangement class at BYU so needless to say I LOVED these flowers :-) THEN...(I know this day seemed to go on forever...) we went to our Stake's Valentine's Dance to babysit in the nursery for half an hour then we danced for a little bit. After the dance, we rented Nights in Rodanthe then finally fell asleep! Whew! Have any of you seen that movie yet? I thought it was very typical Nicholas Sparks (and very reminiscent of Message in a Bottle) but it still was a tear jerker at the end!
Then we had today together again (Justin took work off today). We slept in then Justin went grocery shopping (thanks sweetie) while I spent hours slaving over lesson plans for this week! Then Justin finally took me out for some (wishful) home decor shopping. I feel like our apartment is pretty blah! I wish it were brighter, bigger and better decorated! Vern Yip can I qualify for Deserving Design?? We saw a matinee of Taken-very good!- then had ice cream at Sub Zero. Interesting place! They make your ice cream custom order-like Cold Stone-but everything is liquid until they release liquid nitrogen into the bowl and it freezes everything instantly. I would love to have them come to my classroom, my students would learn about science and enjoy a delicious treat! It was a pretty neat place. We would recommend it!
It was a busy and full weekend but so much fun! It stinks that we have to get back to the real world tomorrow! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Valentine's Day!

Sounds like a blast! I'm glad you had so much fun. And YOUR apartment is darling! My walls have been screaming for a picture to be hung on them for 5 years now! Jacob's finally decided to color his own artwork for his room to spice it up. My poor family! I definitely need to win some contest for pathetic decorating! Ahh, the days before having children! Enjoy it while you can!
Wow! Sounds like you guys had a really fun Valentine's weekend! That is so cool that you went to The Roof. We did too. I totally agree with you on the desserts. My favorites are the chocolate custard and creme brulee in those little round cups. Yummy! Anyway I hope you are doing well. Only about 2 more months til graduation! Yay! Let's get together soon.
That was some jam-packed 3 day weekend. It made me tired just reading about everything you did, jk :) Sounds like you had an absolute great holiday, you deserve it! I loved making cookie cakes with you. And I miss having girl time!
Hey Cutie pie! We ran into Jolee and Ryan at the movies we really need to get together. Miss you!!
Hey, yeah I have always had a blog but just like last month was the first time I posted. I didn't really know how to use it all, but my aunt has been teaching me. It is tons of fun I check it almost everyday. Seattle was tons of fun. You are right it is fun to get away if it is only for the weekend. Looks like you guys had a fun Valentines weekend too. Miss you!
