We got to cedar Friday night and then Saturday we headed to St. George for a 24 hours of some alone time. :)
We had hoped to go and do a session on the temple but found out it was closed so we went and just relaxed on the grass in the shade (it was about 100 degrees in St. George)
Jon and I actually saw each other for the first time on these Temple Ground 8 years ago when Joey and Nicole got married (They are the ones that hooked us up, Joey is his brother and Nicole is my best friend from high school). But of course neither of us actually spoke to each other and we had absolutely no idea what God had in store for us down the road. It is pretty funny to think about because neither of us remember seeing the other there but we definitely have pictures to prove it :)
We wanted to do a little sight seeing and toured Brigham Youngs Winter Home. It was pretty awesome stuff. The home of course is over 100 years old, but so is my parents home and I noticed that some of the door knobs in this home are exactly like the ones in my parents home. I know strange fact but hey I thought it was pretty cool to think that my parents home was built around Brigham Young's time.
We stayed at the Quality Inn. It was nice and totally made it feel like we were on a real vacation outside of Utah.
Check out all the palm trees!!
We also headed to Fiesta Fun Center for some GO Carts, Batting Cages and Mini Golfing. Jon kick my butt at the Go Carts but they were very strict about not bumping into each other and how you will be kicked out and so on and it was me and 3 other guys on the track so it was hard to be careful with the speed demons on the track. Needless to say, Jon totally lapped me!! but he was very cute. it was the 2nd to last lap when he caught up with me and he just stayed at my side rather then passing me..ah!! such a sweet hubby!!
Batting Cages...Man that was fun!! I hadn't hit a softball in a LONG time and I actually did pretty good. I do definitely need to sharpen my skills but hey it was a blast!!
Monday we went to the Iron County Fair with his siblings and walked around. They had some pretty cool things on display. We then headed to Fillmore on our way to Ogden to spend some time with my family. Jon and I took the 4-wheelers out for a ride. I took Jon to Fillmore's version of the Sand Dunes. Then we ate dinner with the fam and then headed back to Ogden
Tuesday we headed to Logan to spend the evening with Hanneli and I will post more on that later... Wednesday Jon showed up at my work with Flowers..oh I was so surprised. I had had a fetish with Sunflowers recently (Fillmore had FIELDS FULL of the wide Sunflowers and I was just at awed because they are sooo pretty) and so there were some smaller flowers but then a big sunflower in front :)
Since it was Jon's last night in Ogden I left work early and we went to the temple and ran some errands. He said that he needed to go to the mall, I asked him why and he just said that I would see..I was like umm okay, that works because I need to get my work schedule anyway. So we get inside of the mall and he was like okay where to first...I gave him this look like how am I suppose to know..he then tells me that he is going to buy me some new shirts. I was soo surprised and SO excited. My closet is mostly White and Black because of Sears uniform stuff and I don't really have much anything beyond that. So we went shopping and I LOVE shopping with him because he is like my person shopper and he picks out the cutest stuff that I would never think about picking out :)
