Before we had Carter, I had a little breakdown realizing that life was never going to be the same again. So we took a little vacation before he arrived and it was really great. Now that i know what is in store for me, I am a little less panicky, but I still wanted to get away. We tried to go to Vegas, but my doctor put a nix on that saying it was too far to travel at 37 weeks. So we decided to head to Utah since we haven't been there in a while.
The day before we left, Chad got off work early and brought me home this beautiful bouquet of flowers and a sweet card saying he was looking forward to spending some time together. SO SWEET!
We went to the SLC temple for the first time. It was AMAZING! If you haven't ever been, GO! It was such a neat experience and the live session is really cool. ( i totally forgot to take pictures on temple square because i had to go to the bathroom and wanted to eat!) whoops, but it was gorgeous as usual.After that we headed to get a couples massage. Also a first for us. It was very relaxing!
That night we ate at Chile's and then headed to our room in Provo. The next day we did a lot of shopping and then grabbed some sandwiches and headed to Provo Canyon for lunch. I went to school in Utah so I have many memories there and was excited to show Chad my old stomping grounds. Chad liked being in the canyon and we walked to Bridal Veil Falls after we ate.



We then went and saw Charlie St. Cloud and the cheap movie theatre. It was OK. After MORE shopping, we went to IN N' OUT BURGER!! A MUST for Chad since he lived in Vegas and used to eat it all the time. It was delicious. After dinner we hot tubbed with a friend and then went to ANOTHER movie, New Moon also at the cheap theatre. (can i say i love the cheap shows? wish we had one!)
It was so nice to get away and we couldn't have done it without my wonderful parents who took Carter from Monday night until Thurs. morning. We are SO grateful to them. I came back feeling like i could be a better mom and a better wife. Thank so much mom and dad!
