St. George


It had been a while since we had a vacation. I don't consider our trips to Moab or Football road trips vacations, so it had been a year since our trip. We decided to take a quick little road trip to St. George and stay at Brian's grandparents house. It was exactly what I needed. We had no set plans and it was wonderful.

We did get to go fishing for the first time this year. Quail Creek was absolutely beautiful Saturday morning. And my favorite part was I only had to wear a fleece jacket!!! Usually when we are fishing in February I am bundled up and miserable. But it was perfect!

The rest of Saturday was spent swimming, relaxing in the hot tub, taking naps, and playing boggle. Outside of a beach it was my ideal way to relax.


Sunday of course was Valentines Day. Brian and I have not been huge fans of Valentines Day. But since he had arranged the trip I thought I should get him a little something. So I got him some chocolates and Pinnochio. We have started collecting Disney movies for our kids one day so this was a perfect little present for him.


I truly didn't expect anything back, but I should have known better. Of course Brian had a dozen red roses for me! I was completely shocked but so happy he made the effort to have them for me Sunday morning.


That afternoon we spent 3 hours visiting my Grandparents. They don't get a chance to come up to Salt Lake very often anymore due to age, so we try and see them anytime we are down south. It was so great to be able to talk and catch up with them. My grandparents have made it possible for me to do so much in my life and I am grateful for them every single day. Brian and I learn so much from them every time we visit them. They are simply great!!!


Sunday night we went out to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. It was so YUMMY!!! I had not had a steak in a long time so it hit the spot. A little slice of cheesecake at the end was dreamy. Overall it was my favorite Valentines Day I have ever had. Thanks Babe I love you :)


Overall the weekend was awesome! I couldn't have asked for anything better. I can't wait to plan my next little getaway
