Jeffy and I had a really fun Valentine’s Day this year. We normally don’t do anything for Valentine’s Day because it’s my least favorite holiday. I hate that the government had to set aside a certain day for people to say, “Hey, I care and I love you.” That’s what everyday of the year is for! When Jeffy and I were engaged I told him I didn’t want flowers for my birthday or for Valentine’s Day or for our anniversary. A lot of women expect that for those days (and that’s just fine) but I want him to give me flowers because he WANTS to, not because he’s EXPECTED to. I want flowers because it’s Monday. So, he was so cute and got me flowers on a Monday and the card said, ‘Just because it’s Monday.’ I’m so lucky!

ANYWAY, quite the little detour there, we did make a big deal out of it this year and spent a night at the Grand America hotel in SLC. It is a beautiful hotel with big rooms and a comfy bed. I’m always so nervous about the beds and whether or not they are going to be comfy but this one was a winner! Here are some pictures of the room:

The hallway. Yeah, our room had a hallway. Crazy!

The pretty bathroom.

Our view. HAHA. Isn’t Salt Lake ugly? At least from this view it was…

We got there about 4ish and relaxed until our couples massage at 5pm, which was much needed. I am always really tight around my neck and shoulders and it felt wonderful to get that worked on. After that we headed down to the hotel restaurant and had a nice, although very expensive, dinner where we talked about us and our kids and our wonderful life in general. After that we walked around the hotel, both inside and out, and realized we were cold and tired. But we did manage to get these two pictures of our wonderful stay.


We then enjoyed watching tv and reading our books and went to bed. We slept in and it was wonderful! Thanks so much to Emily, Spencer and Ashlee for watching our kids for us! You guys are the best!
