Valentines Day!

So I've never been a huge Valentines Day person and I don't think I ever will be...Oh darn! We did however "celebrate" it sort of. Thursday was our super sweet 10 month anniversary and Saturday was Valentines day, so we decided to kind of combine the both and went out to a nice dinner Friday night (like we would really try to go out on actual Valentines? Pass, too many people out for my liking). Actually we really only went out to this place because we had a gift card, that my sister-in-law and her husband so kindly gave us for Christmas. We went out to a restaurant in Salt Lake called...

It was a pretty nice dinner, but it made me realize that "nice" dinners are completely overrated. I would much rather go to a restaurant in comfy jeans than trying to eat food in a dress that I can barely breath in. I would post a picture of us at this restaurant but I just looked at it and I look horrifying in it, so I left it out.

Although, one nice thing about Valentines is that it gave us the perfect excuse to eat some of our favorite things like Salt and Vinegar chips and Cadbury mini eggs!



So that's our update for our "holiday" weekend. Now for an update of last weekend, my sister and Lance came up to Utah just for a few days but we were able to see them for half the amount of time they were here. It was so fun to see them again and especially to see my little adorable niece, Elle. I was able to capture TWO pictures of Conryd playing with her. He's going to be such a good dad some day :)

And I'm not quite sure what Elle is doing in this picture but she's still so cute! I think the bow got too heavy so she needed a rest :)

And well I guess this completes my update. Love you all!

MMM oreo cookies and exercising?

Here's our "baby."

Last week Conryd and I made our first BIG purchase...an elliptical! We figured our gym memberships are up in a few weeks, and the money we would spend for a new membership would cover more than the total cost of our elliptical, plus the warranty for 5 years. We are very excited about our big buy and now we really have NO excuse for not working out :)

In other news...I had the strongest craving for homemade oreo cookies today. So I ignored all of my "health" eating instincts and caved in. And you know what, I'm not even mad I did. But good news for me, I now have an elliptical right at my finger tips to work off all those delicious oreo cookies...mmmm I can still taste the goodness! Here is a picture of my beautiful creation (Sorry if it's blurry, I guess I don't have that steady of a hand)


Bree is coming Friday, WooHoo!! And my mother is already here. It was so nice spending time with her and I look forward to spending time with my adorable, adorable, adorable niece :)
