Valentine's Day!

Usually I try to plan something for Valentine's Day but this year Steven took control. It was kind of nice actually :o) Saturday morning Steven had a hike with his boy scouts so I stayed home and went to the gym and cleaned. When he got home we left to go out to eat. We wanted to avoid the crowds and not eat so late. So we went to Cheesecake Factory. I didn't like my food or what Steven got and we were wedged in between people. It was ridiculous and SO not romantic. Oh well. After that we spent forever at Barnes and Noble. I wish I worked there...I love books! And speaking of books, Steven got me the entire "Twilight" series for Valentine's Day! I've been wanting to start the books over again but only have Breaking Dawn. I still haven't even seen the movie. Don't think I want to. Anyway, after that we went and checked into our hotel. This was a surprise for me (up until Friday). Steven got us a room at the hotel where we stayed at after we got married. They even upgraded us to a suite for free! It's a pretty interesting place--it used to be a run-down Motel 8 or something but they've renovated it and you'd never tell! It's really nice now. Anyway, we just hung out there all night. They have a heated pool and spa so we went swimming. It was so nice to be somewhere other than the apartment. Later that night we went to the Sugar Bowl since it was just down the road from our hotel.
We kept Valentine's Day pretty simple. Usually I like to do candy and hearts and everything pink/red but this year it just crept up on us so we just ate dinner and stayed in the hotel. We had to get up and go to church Sunday morning but we still had fun! We didn't take any pictures of us but here are two of our hotel. There aren't any of the whirlpool but they have these HUGE bathtubs with jets in the corner or of the suite room. They're heavenly. I want one in my house someday.
Anyway, we had a really good time and it was nice to have a mini-vacation. Thanks for the great weekend Steven--I love you!
