Valentine's Weekend

I had a really good Valentine's Day weekend. Brandon had given me options on what I wanted for Valentine's Day and I said I didn't care. I actually first told him I wanted a Blu-Ray Dvd movie. He decided on going away for the weekend and that was our gifts to each other. He booked a room at Beaver Creek Lodge, that's up by Beaver Mountain and Bear Lake, and with the room it comes as a package to rent snowmobiles. I have never been snowmobiling and I actually wasn't looking forward to it, because I hate hate the snow!!! He told me that we would buy me some clothes so that I would keep warm. So on Friday my in laws took the girls up with them and I would wait for Brandon to get off work and take Brock and the girl's clothes to grandma and grandpa's house. We got there later than we were planning because someone was coming to look at the house so I cleaned like crazy and went out between the times they were coming through. Normally I would have been all packed but cleaning took forever because of my little stinker that gets into everything. I came home around 4 and they still hadn't showed up so I hurried and packed and we got out as fast as we could. We stopped at my in laws to drop off Brock and give them the kids clothes and headed off to Logan to get me warm gear. I was in luck we got my stuff all on sale. I had to get some good boots, some snow pants, glove liners, and I got a cute beenie hat. I was starting to get hungry so I told Brandon let's just get something to go and head up there so we got Burger King and left. Yes, that was my Valentine's Dinner but I was starving and wanted to hurry and get up to the lodge before it go late. We checked in and looked around and fell asleep at 10 pm! We are so old. The next morning we had breakfast at 8, which was not worth $9.00 a plate, and get all geared up for half a day of snowmobiling. I was really nervous because I hate to go fast for fear of flipping the machine and Brandon was way ahead of me so I got a little upset at him. I have no idea where I'm going and all I see around me is like 50 gazillion snowmobile track marks. I had to talk to him to not go so fast and finally we were off to a good start. It was way fun! It was so pretty looking at this mountain all covered with snow. I started to get more comfortable with the speed but I didn't dare get to adventurous. I did get stuck 2 but we got me out. It was fun and I wasn't even cold. The only cold part was my nose but that was it. I didn't get to wear my cute beenie because the lodge provided helmets and we didn't have to get me all that gear because they provide boots and the snow suit if you didn't have any. That's ok because now I have nice warm winter stuff so I can go outside and play with the kids in the snow. Brandon felt a little bad because he thought this was more for him but I said I had fun. We picked the kids up Saturday afternoon and headed home after a quick stop to my parents.
