Valentines Day

I'm a little late posting this, but I had to mention my wonderful Valentines Day this year. We usually don't do very much (if anything at all) for Valentines. This year though I found something that sounded kinda fun and asked Ryan if he was interested. We were lucky enough to have my parents available and gracious enough to watch our boys for the night, so we could have a small get away.

Megaplex theaters did a package deal which included a romantic dinner, live music, a movie, popcorn and drinks. We even got a rose (which Ryan wanted to take credit for) on our table at dinner. We went to the theater in Ogden and stayed in a hotel right down the street. The neat thing about the hotel is that it is said to be haunted, and if you know us (especially Ryan), we find haunted places to be extremely cool and exciting. Sadly we were not put on the specific floor that is said to have had "activity", but it still had that creepy feeling. Anyway, we checked into our hotel and walked down the street to the theater. We had a couple hours to kill, so we went next door and found that they had mini golf, bowling, games... just about any activity you could want. We played a round of mini golf (which I won), and then a couple games of air hockey. From there we went over to the Ogden temple grounds and looked around a little before heading to the theater.

When we got to the theater, we were escorted upstairs to the room where they had the tables all set up and the live music going. We were lucky enough to get seated right by the window, so we had a beautiful view of the mountains. The food was great, and during the meal it started snowing, which made it that much more romantic. After dinner, we were again escorted to the concessions, where we were handed our popcorn and drinks and shown to our movie. We opted to see "He's Just Not That Into You". It was a cute movie, not my favorite, but cute. After the movie we walked back to the hotel. Washington blvd. in Ogden at night was a little different from when we had been out during the day. Amazingly we didn't hear any gun shots or anything, but still a little creepy.

All in all, it was a wonderful 24 hours away with my wonderful husband. He was such a gentleman (well, he always is). It was nice to have a little get away, but felt a little strange not having our kids with us. Almost felt like it did when we were first married. We missed our boys, and were so happy to see their smiling faces when we came home.

Thank you for the wonderful trip Ryan! Happy Valentines Day!
