Saturday, Troy and I got up 4 am. Troy had to take Heidi to the airport, and I got up to get ready for the temple with Jaimen and Kara. I have never been to the SLC temple and it was amazing. I really liked it and it was so amazing to see the inside. After the session, Troy met up with us and we walked around Temple Square. I had never been to the Beehive House, so we took a 20 minute tour. It was so neat to see how established they were. Coming across the plains with nothing, and having a home so wonderful was neat to see. We went back to the hotel to get out of our church clothes, and then headed to lunch. Our GPS took us on a goose chase...it needs updated with all the changes downtown. Eventually we found a Wendy's and ate. We headed to IKEA where Troy and I spent way too much. I love that store! Troy's aunt Joyce had picked tickets up for us for "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Lightning Thief". So we did a little shopping before attending that at 4:20. If you have read the books, you might be disappointed with the movie. I was. It would have been a lot better if I hadn't read the book, but it was just so different than the book. After the movie, we went to the Chocolate Factory to pick up thank yous for Richard, Peggy and Kaden. I had a special white chocolate dipped strawberry made because they told me it had no coco butter in it. They lied. I go sick. Anyway, after a bit more shopping, we went to MacCool's to eat dinner. It was an Irish pub in the district in Jordan. It was a good restaurant but I didn't like my food. I was already feeling sick, so I ordered potato leek soup. It was very...strong. So I ate my bread and we headed to Target to get some medicine. Troy, Jaimen, and Kara all liked their food and it was relatively inexpensive. So, if you are at the District, I recommend it, just not the soup. We headed back to our hotel.
Sunday we checked out, went to some Aisian markets (Troy and I love to cook with Asian sauces, rice and different foods), then we went to the Cracker Barrel for breakfast. It was delicious! We all loved our food and enjoyed it. None of us could finish our plates. I highly recommend the pancake breakfast with blackberry topping. After breakfast, we got in the car and headed to Tai Pan. IT WAS CLOSED! I was devastated. I was so sad that we could not go. Oh well. We headed home and they all humored me on a drive through Malad. I have not been in Malad for years and it was nice to take a bit of a drive. I hated living in Malad (well, I didn't hate it, but it was hard being the new girl and I was not openly accepted. Rumors flew about me constantly), but I actually kind of miss it. I wonder how friends are doing. It is sad not to go down as often as I would like. I moved right after graduation and went back just for a few months before Rick's started. I didn't realize that my mom and dad would move and that I would not be able to go back. I was glad I got to take a walk down memory lane. We came home, picked up our kids, and started back to the same ol'.
It was a super fun weekend, and I am glad Troy and I got to get away. To top it all off, my mom and dad came last night and are here today. THANK YOU Richard and Peggy, Kaden and Uncle Adam for all you did for us. We really really appreciate it!!!! It was a great time and we could not have done it without you!

Wow! Lucky you to have such a fun weekend! I love Tai Pan too!
Hey- I'm glad you moved to Malad!
Sounds like an amazing V-Day... :)
Hey, I still wanna keep up with your family so don't erase me off your invite list. :)
That sounds like a lot of fun. We have never been on an overnight date without the kids yet. One of these years. Since we hit our ten years last month I hinted to Ken that diamond is the present for ten years and he got me earrings for Valentines Day/ Birthday. Maybe next year we will plan an overnighter when I won't have any kids nursing still. I'm glad you had a Happy V-Day.
