Typically I'm not big on the Valentine's holiday. I'm not one who expects flowers, mostly because Zach knows I hate flowers, they remind me of funerals- which I've probably mentioned before. However, this year I decided we needed a little getaway so I used the Valentine's holiday as an excuse. Last night we spent the night up at the Zermatt Resort in Midway. We had dinner at this little mexican place called the Cantina and ended the night by enjoying the hotel's hot tub. This morning we went to breakfast at this cute little cafe and then headed to Soldier Hollow for tubing. The weather was great and the tubing runs were really fun- even the ride up on their little pulley system was enjoyable! Once we had enough of Midway we came back home and saw "The Vow" with Rachel McAdams. Still not sure about whether or not I liked it. Zach seemed to like it though, but he's usually not too critical of any movies. Although it was a brief getaway it was so much fun to do something different from our normal weekend routine.

Yes, the self-timer was used. I hate asking people to take pictures...

The Breakfast Cafe

Obviously had to ask someone here to take our picture...

This next picture is a little out of context, but we painted these bowls/ saucer & cup at Color Me Mine for Candace's birthday last weekend. We had so much fun and clearly I'm really proud of our work because it made it on our blog. I think I've found a new hobby!!!

We're NOT Born This Way

I apologize in advance for those of you who are Lady Gaga fans, but I'm NOT her biggest fan! I didn't mind her music until she came out with the song Born This Way. That phrase doesn't even make sense... That would mean that everyone is born a certain way and that there is NO possibility that you could ever change?! I think that'd be pretty sad to live your life thinking you were born as is and you were never able to change. Who doesn't believe in second chances? Well you wouldn't if you thought you were just "born this way". I just had to comment on that song...

Utah Winds

Last week the crazy wind storm that came through Utah did some serious damage. Zach and I drove around his parent's neighborhood in Sugar House and saw this... Keep in mind these are just a few of the homes.

The tree trashed that roof

This is just a picture of the roots...

This tree smashed this person's garage

I'm Finally Going To Be....

Sorry if you were thinking "a mother", but nope. I'm finally going to be an AUNT!!! I know for some people they've been aunts/ uncles for a long time, but not me. I am sooo excited for my brother Dustin's wife, Kelli, to have a baby! Oh, and it's a BOY which I am way excited about. As many of you know, Kelli and I have been friends since elementary and then she ended up marrying my brother and now they are having their first baby and my parent's first grandchild. We're all really excited about it. I don't think they've announced it to too many people yet, so I thought I would. She is due April 16th, 2012!

Better Late Than Never

I know Thanksgiving is next week and I'm just barely posting pictures from Halloween, but I'm a slacker when it comes to blogging, but better late than never. So here's a brief update...

We got to dress up at work the Friday before Halloween
