NINE YEARS and going strong!

I have a sweetheart for a husband. He knows when I need to get away and our anniversary was the perfect time to do it. Clyde and Evelyn were in town for the weekend and Chad talked them into staying an extra night so we could take off for one night. 

We went to Mo' Bettahs for dinner....not romantic but SUUUUUCHHHH GOOOD food! Then we checked into our room at the Anniversary Inn in SLC. We stayed in mansion suite (Chads not a fan of the crazy themed rooms) and it was just a really nice relaxing time. We played games, ate snacks, watched 2 movies! and just hung out. It was so great to have uninterrupted  time together.  

 At midnight we decided we should eat our cheesecake. I'm not a huge fan of it....but its growing on me.

 We love going to bed and breakfasts mostly because the breakfast is always so great! We had to get up early to get back to our kids (but its not like we could have slept in anyway now that we are parents we have internal alarm clocks!) But I left feeling refreshed and ready to take on the stresses of being a mom again.

Thanks honey for taking such good care of me and trying to make each anniversary special. I know you love me and I hope you know how much I love you. I never thought the day I married you I could love you anymore. But it has grown in so many ways over the years. Thanks for being my perfect match. You're the best!

In with the new!

Ahhh tax season! We were pleasantly surprised to get back about double than what I expected on our tax refund. We knew we needed a bed so for date night one night we went bed shopping. We laid on several but when we both laid on this one we couldn't get up . I was really tempted to ask if we could stay and have a nap since we were buying it. Our current bed we bought before we had Carter so it was really time for a new one. 

 On the way in this furniture set caught my eye and I made the comment I'd really like it. Chad didn't say much and we went home. I kept thinking and thinking about it. and came up with a plan so we could go buy it too. So we walked out with a new bed and this furniture set! Chad didn't want the chair but I told him it was a must!

And I think it looks quite nice in our new home! (except now  I need a new rug! Too many patterns going on!)

And once you spend that much in a furniture store you better let my kids feed your fish! Just kidding the really nice salesman invited the kids to feed the fish that they have in a huge pond in the middle of their store. They thought that was pretty great. Except now if we ever go back in you know what they are going to think they get to do! 

Hooray for buying new furniture and getting rid of old hand me down couches!!!!!!!!!!
