Valentine's Day 2010

Ryan has Fridays off every week, because he works Saturdays.  So, yesterday we left Kamryn with Grandma and went out on a date!  :) It was wonderful to spend time with Ryan for almost 6 hours without any stressful responsibilities!

We went to the theater and saw "When in Rome".  Cute little movie!  Very silly!  But we enjoyed it a lot!  Ryan splurged a little on me and bought popcorn! ;)  We NEVER get popcorn, but one of my favorite favorite foods and snacks is Movie theater popcorn...so we celebrated Valentine's Day with it! :)

Then we headed down to the mall to get my wedding ring cleaned.  (If I clean it every 6 months, I have a guaranteed warranty on it).  I LOVE getting it cleaned because it is so sparkly afterwards!  It's like buying it brand new all over again!  However, everything didn't go as planned.  Turns out that one of the prongs was loose and the diamond was loose... so I had to leave it with them to get it repaired!  :(  Sad... I don't have a ring for a week and a half now... :(  Kinda a bummer when I was looking forward to it being sparkly and happy!  And now I don't even have one! (However, I am VERY GRATEFUL that the diamond didn't already fall out!  That would be MUCH worse!!) :)

We went to a couple other stores.  Enjoyed just walking around the mall together!  It brought back memories of just hanging out when we were dating in high school!  Fun feelings and times to remember!

Then we went over to a furniture store.  We've been looking into getting a recliner lately--mostly because it would be nice for when the baby comes!  (but also would be nice while I'm STILL PREGNANT and can't sleep as well anymore anyway!) :)  We found a Presidents' day Sale for buy one, get one free recliners!  We didn't need TWO but I called up my mom and sure enough she was interested in buying the 2 with us! :)  so...we met up at the furniture store and bought one! :)  It was such a good deal!  I'm so excited!  *unfortunately, no pictures yet because I have to wait till next week for it to get here!*

AND, last but not least, our large gift to each other (partly because we received a greater tax refund than expected..) we have a new addition to our home.

Ryan has wanted a larger TV, but it has always seemed like a big thing that we didn't really need...or we could spend money on something else more logical! :)  But we decided it would be nice to have something like this in our bedroom...so we got it for Valentine's day!  we love it!  The stand is also new and it is SOO nice for such a good deal! :)  Hopefully this means we'll have more Wii parties at our house now, because we won't be squinting our eyes at the TV anymore! :) haha

Ryan and I have been married for 3 years, this coming June.  Can't believe it's already been 3 years...but a lot has happened!  Both graduated, 2 kids (almost), and a real job/income.  Preparing for Graduate School now.  I love you Ryan!  I'm so grateful we are married and that I get to spend the rest of eternity with you!  Thanks for a wonderful Valentine's Day this year!

Wonderful weekend!

Saturday night Ryan and I went out on a date and it was WONDERFUL!

We met up with Ryan's parents at IHOP for dinner.  I was excited about their deal right now for all you can eat pancakes!  And then we found out that Kamryn could get a kids meal for free with an adult entree' purchase!  Even better!  It was a great meal for not very much money! :)

Then we took Kamryn to my sister, Krista, who willingly offered to babysit!  What a great sister I have!  She babysat while Ryan and I ran down to Provo to play games with Kelsey and Zac.  It was fun to be out and with another couple, on a date night, without Kamryn!  I love Kamryn...I do!  But I don't always get time away from her that I think I really need.  And not just because she is always demanding...but it felt SOOOOO good to just not even have to worry about her or have her and what she is doing in the back of my mind! :) (although, I will admit that I did call home and check on Krista and how it was going, a couple of times!) :) lol  We were out late but it was so much fun!  Thank you, Ryan, for our awesome date! :)

Sunday was my Dad's birthday.  We went up to their house for dinner and cake and ice cream.  Then we drove up to Salt Lake County because this week we are staying at my Aunt and Uncle's house to take care of their kids.  They don't travel much by themselves, but decided to go on a Mexico cruise this week (I'm so excited for them!) and we get to stay with their FABULOUS and CUTE cute kids!  It's going to be a fun week!

Anyway, sorry I don't have pictures or anything...just wanted to do a quick update on the weekend!
