Anniversary Weekend

A few weeks ago Landon and I celebrated our 17th anniversary. We usually just go out to dinner and sometimes we go skiing or bowling or something, but we haven't ever gone anywhere for the weekend. This year we decided it was time and we planned a getaway for the whole weekend. Luckily my Mom was able to come and stay with the kids.

We went back and forth on what we wanted to do, I have really been wanting to visit Universal Studios to see Harry Potter World, but we eventually decided on Brian Head ski resort as we both really like to ski. My one requirement as we looked for a condo to rent was a fireplace-what isn't more cozy and romantic than being able to cuddle up in front of a fire place, also I was hoping to get a little reading by candlelight in.

We ended up finding the perfect place. Cozy, comfortable, and affordable. Plus it was literally right across the street from the ski slopes.

It snowed most of the time we were up there. Saturday we woke up and it started snowing, but we headed to the slopes anyways. We still got a lot of skiing it despite the snow. The snow isn't the bad part, its when the wind blows and blows the snow in your face. It can make it kind of cold at times. We still got a lot of skiing in, but we did end our day a little earlier than we normally would have. Landon is a lot braver and more talented at skiing than I am, so although we hit some of the harder runs earlier on, we ended up sticking to easier stuff most of the day. I'm glad he still loves me and puts up with me even though he probably would have rather been skiing the harder runs. He's more of a black diamond guy and me more of a green circle type of girl, but it works for us, and has done for the past 17 years and hopefully many more to come.

After skiing we went out for some pizza and than retired to our nice warm condo.

Sunday we just hung out and played some board games before heading back home.

The kids had lots of fun with their Grandma while we were away and we were surprised with the new addition of some fish to the family-Bryce had really been wanting some and Grandma granted that wish. I think Bryce wished we would have stayed away a little bit longer.
