Valentine's Day

Jake and I spent our fifth Valentine's Day together. Ah!

I know this was our first married one. But still

We kinda decided to go all out. Just kinda

We went out to eat on Valentine's Day

Then we went to the theatre to watch The Vow

we celebrated the rest that weekend

He game me flowers on Monday 02/13

they would die if he waited until later

and (yes) he always picks out his own arrangement

I made these little Valentine's for my co-workers

Jake made a Valentine for me!!!! SO CREATIVE

cute thing is= he really does call me sweetheart

I got a lot of treats from him

This is why I've gained weight. I swear 

We stay
ed the night in a Hilton hotel in SLC

it was soooo nice

it was two stories and beautiful

Our room had a huge hot tub. Be jealous

Jake felt pretty cool. It was kinda nice to be spoiled

For one night. And one night only

When we checked in, they gave us free stuff!

Oh it was such a nice first (married) Valentine's Day together). We weren't able to do all this stuff ON the actually V-Day but we waited until the weekend of the 17th and had so much fun! We also went up to Park City (on Saturday the 18th) to pick up my new bindings for my snowboard and we  had Cheesecake Factory on Saturday as well. I can't post pictures of our dessert at Cheesecake- my mouth will water. We also went to a friend's wedding reception the night before. It's always fun to go to weddings (I think) 'cuz I'm reminded of what it was like for me/us on our big day. What a great way to celebrate our weekend full of love, or so I thought. 

crash BANG boom

As many of you know = Bubbles is gone

2005-2012

my first car

(besides what I drove in high school)

wasn't too happy about it and was real shooken up

but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise

here's how it happened

I was leaving Hobby Lobby with my friend Katie

she's my current partner in crime

We were sitting at a stop light. Facing south. Just chillin

Then all of a sudden, a truck slides into me. Ouch!

I actually saw it coming though. Katie did too

I didn't actually think it would happen though. But it did

It was one of those things where you have high hopes. Yeah. No

The truck was coming down University Pkwy.

So he slid onto my street (Stop light by Hobby Lobby)

So he was originally driving west on the Pkwy. 

Then he turned where I was sitting and crash BANG boom

The insurance companies were a PAIN to deal with. Still are

they marked my car as totaled

I wasn't too happy about that/car payments again

but it literally worked out for the best

We upgraded! Pimp my ride!

we decided to get a family car (for future kidlets)ha

So we got an SUV

She's a 2004 Acura with no name. Oops

Definitely a beauty though. Heated seats. My fave

There's cruise control, a back windshield whipper and sun roof

She gets pretty good gas mileage. And she's a seven seater

hoping to have more memories with the new addition to our fam

We'll be driving this beauty to CA in May

no, we didn't need a big vehicle right now

but, we decided, that if we were putting money into a car

we'd wanna keep it for awhile

no more little four dour, donut tire cars

no more $35 to fill up the gas tank

no more 35-40 miles/gal. in the city/fwy.

We realize we're losing a lot. But I think we're gaining more
