7 years of marital bliss

Brett and I had our seven year wedding anniversary, and we celebrated it this weekend. We started off with a nice date on Friday night. We did some shopping, and then played miniature golf, which was awesome because we tied on our score, which NEVER happens. Brett always beats me. We then got some Winger's, and brought it home to enjoy while watching a movie. Thanks Joe for tending the kids while we went out. 

Saturday Brett took the day off work, and his mom and dad watched the kids. We went out to Tepanyaki and had some delicious sushi, as pictured below. Brett wasn't feeling well, but the onion soup there was just perfect for his sore throat. I need the recipe.

After sushi we went to Harvest to get dessert.  We both wanted vanilla creme brule, so that is what we got. It came with these cute heart shaped cookies, perfect for celebrating our love. haha. We loved it. We also got some Kristian Regale, just to make it a little more romantic and fun. We sat by the fireplace, and Kristian (our nephew) served us even though Kelsey was supposed to. It was great. Very Cozy. After that we saw a movie, and went home. We spent the evening with the kids. We took them to Cafe Rio, and saw a man who looked like Santa. He let them tell him what they wanted for Christmas and told them to be good, etc. It was really fun.

 The next day we went to Church, and then took the kids over to my mom and dad's where they would spend the night so we could get away. We went up to Wolf Creek. There was snow everywhere on the way up, a little scary to drive in. We left a little early, so we stopped at my sister Christa and her husband Logan's house, and they invited us to stay to dinner with them and Joy, Kevin, and Brooke. It was yummy, and Brett and Logan enjoyed watching games while us girls talked, and laughed about the Saturday's warrior's song..."He's just a friend like those I count in dozens, the kind unselfish friend who understands my pain..."

 At the resort we checked in, and cuddled up under some blankets because it was FREEZING. We had a great time talking and watching movies. The next morning I had to get up early to send some files to a client, and had to trudge through snow up to my knee to get to the main lobby where the internet was. Needless to say it woke me up. So, I had Brett get up too, and we went and played some raquetball and sat in the sauna. It was great. Then, we went back to the condo and Brett used a snow shovel to clean off our car. We went to breakfast, and packed up our stuff and left.

We went to Jasmine's for lunch, and had our favorite squid salad. We were in a real sushi and Chinese mood this weekend. 

We got back to Utah County and had some fun shopping. We bought some clothes for the kids, and some sweaters for Brett. Then we saw Morning Glory, and by then it was almost 7 pm. We called Mom and Dad, and asked if they had eaten, then got take out at China Isle (our favorite chinese place), and went back and enjoyed it with the kids and the parents.

Needless to say, it was a fun, relaxing weekend, and it was great to be able to spend it together without the kids, and knowing they were in good hands. Seven years down...eternity to go...

My day in court!

Today was scary, stressful, insane, good, bad, ugly. You name it. I had court, to settle on the whole SeaDoo damage thing. Well, the guys were pissed because I won (yay me). They were really rude. I was a bit nervous. (BTW that is an understatement). So, I asked the judge to have a court officer escort me to my car. The two guys were out there, they heckled me, and the officer told them to quit being A-holes. He then pulled me aside and told me that if they do anything to harass me or make me feel insecure or unsafe, I can file a police report, and it is a felony. When we got outside, they were standing by their car, it was only 2 down from mine. Great, right. So the officer had me wait until they left. They pulled out of the parking lot, and then pulled to the side. Yes, they waited, and it freaked me out. Needless to say I was sort of a mess. Lucky for me my sweet nephew let me talk to him about it. Then, of course, my wonderful neighbor Dana had my kiddos, and so when I got there and was still sort of a mess (I know it sounds stupid, but they were scary, and I was by myself and they were really mad) she gave me a hug and a Dr. Pepper. Thanks to the doctor all was okay in the end.

So, after I calmed down some, I went to Krispie Kream for my sugar fix. Not really, well I did go to KK but only to meet my mom. Then home, to work, and blah blah blah. I needed a way to turn my day around, so I decide, service is the best way to stop thinking about yourself. I was too drained and emotionally exhausted to do manual labor. However, I started making dinner for my family, and decided I would try to think of someone else to make dinner for. Lucky for me I have a prego neighbor who was out working in her yard all day, and has 4 kiddos. So (tooting my own horn now), I took dinner over. Let's just say it was the best part of my day.

Although...Brett came home earlier than I expected, and that was awesome. And, when the kids saw a mouse in the living room (second time this week), I figured we better do something about it. So, I borrow a cat from a friend. About 5 minutes after I brought it in the house it had cornered the mouse. Awesome right? Lexi is in love with it. I don't know what she is going to do when we return it, but oh well.

I am now getting too tired to keep typing. John gets baptised in the morning, so I better sign off and get some sleep. Crap day, turned good. That is the summary! Love my hubby, love my family, hate how awful people can be sometimes, etc. Nighty night.
