The Difference 30 Minutes Can Make

Charles said he wanted to do a little mini vacation/get-away.  I couldn't have agreed more!  Christmas wasn't spectacular, nothing happened in January, and we were both sick on my birthday.  So I threw myself into planning a surprise for him.  I had everything booked, taunting him all the while that I knew where we were going and he didn't, and I was so proud of myself for not giving him any hints!  But then some old lady at church was scolding us for not doing weekly dates, and I blurted out, "Well, we're going up Ogden Canyon to stay in a Bed&Breakfast, go snowboarding, and out to eat at a nice restaurant!"  Charles just stared at me as the words just kept falling out of my mouth.  Oops.

Also, I was told I was going to be murdered in my sleep by the little old lady who run the Bed and Breakfast.  This info was given to me by a friend from work who was pregnant when she went to the same B&B with her husband.  If I ever go crazy like that when I'm pregnant, someone please put me (and Charles) out of my misery!

The breakfast nook.  The nice (and kinda weird) old lady fixed us fruit, yogurt, hot chocolates, hashbrowns, sausage, eggs, and french toast!  She was really fattening us up!

My hot snowboarder husband.  He did some awesome jumps in the terrain park.  It was fun to watch!

Even though this pic shows me on my heels, I was able to be off them for a good amount of time and go a lot faster than I did last year! 

I'm getting better... I'm just scared of a head injury!

We had a fun day together up at Powder.  :-)

We ate at Harley and Bucks up by Wolf Creek Resort.  They even gave us lovebirds a seat by the window!

Charles started his own chocolate business (!!!!) and he wanted to go visit a fancy chocolate shop in Orem.  So we made the drive. 

My opinion if you cared to know: they weren't that great.  But he loved them, and that's all that matters! 

Also, shoutout to Bethany and Dillon!  So fun to see my childhood BFF again.

All in all, a great mini vacation!  Secluded and peaceful areas, amazing snow, surrounded by beautiful majestic mountains only about 30 minutes away from us. 

I feel so refreshed and ready to go back to everyday life! 

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, MY LOVE!!!

Valentine's Night.  After spending a day watching all of the lovey-duvy episodes from "The Office," we had dinner and sparkling cider by the fireplace.  I sure love this boy!

 

I hope you enjoyed the day with the people and things you love.  :-)
