Valentines Getaway

After getting home from Minneapolis, we got some shut-eye and then headed out on Sunday to SLC for a quick Valentines Getaway!

First of all, what did we do on actual Valentines day? Well, besides me packing for my trip...

1) Got a care package from my parents--perfume for me & Taco Bell gift certs for Nephi. 2) I wore pink every day last week to get in the holiday spirit considering I didn't put up any Valentines decor (no time this year). 3) Made breakfast for Nephi! PB&J french toast (my family tradition), heart cut apples, and chocolate milk. 4) We didn't want to do major gifts but I got Nephi a tie with pink in it and he got me a TJ Maxx gift card. 5) Ordered food in and watched "Trouble With the Curve" (I didn't love it.) 6) I ate 1 of the prongs from my fork while cutting my broccoli. Yes, I did kind of feel a sharp feeling when swallowing but it didn't hurt. And no, I didn't notice it immediately. Any questions?

Nephi and I haven't been able to spend much quality time with each other this year so far so we decided to head to SLC for Sunday and spend time together shopping and hanging out for a day. We got a hotel downtown, went to dinner, slept in, and SHOPPED--a lot. Hit up the Park City outlets and City Creek.

Nephi (left): Outdoor shoes, Nike casual shoes and shirt, dress pants. Mallory (right): Running shoes (the other one's I just bought hurt my feet.), teal pants for spring, polka tank, green blazer, cheetah shirt, color clock sweater. Total: Under $150!!! Best deals. 

We took public transportation, ate at THE BEST waffle place I have ever tried (they taste like HEAVEN), and got something from Anthropology without going into debt.

We had a blast! Grateful we live so close to SLC and have the opportunity to get away for a bit. Work and travelling has been tough and I take off in 2 weeks again for a whole week out of town for work so we really wanted to fit something in before things get crazier. We do everything we can to enjoy the time we have together but understand this time in our life is limited and WONDERFUL!! We are so blessed.


Our next trip together looks like it may happen in August...any suggestions on a cruise line?! ;)
