Today Jeff and I went to Salt Lake City for a little overnight getaway! This is the first night we have been alone since Jonas was born...and it was a much needed getaway. Back in October, I purchased tickets for us to see the comedian, Brian Regan, at the Utah Jazz's arena for Jeff's birthday. So, for my birthday, Jeff made us reservations to stay at the Grand America hotel in Salt Lake City the evening Brian Regan performed. I actually teared up when Jeff told me about my birthday present. As much as I love being a mom, sometimes I just miss being a wife and best friend...not a co-parent or business partner. Grandma Penny was gracious enough to keep the boys for the night. (Thank you sooooo much!!) Jeff and I left for Salt Lake City about midday. We went straight to the temple for a peaceful session before checking into our hotel. I think I needed the peace of the temple as much as I needed a weekend away. It is always nice to have a place to go where I can shut out the world and just focus on what matters most. After getting dinner and checking into the hotel, Jeff and I made our way to Vivint Smart Arena (where the Jazz play) for the comedy show. I think what we like most about Brian Regan is that he is a clean comedian. He doesn't get into the crude or demeaning jokes. It was so fun to laugh with Jeff! I need to laugh a little more often and stress a little less often (like I'm sure many women need to do). It was the perfect evening! The next morning, Jeff and I slept in (that hasn't happened in ages!!) before getting in a quick workout then enjoying a delicious breakfast buffet at the hotel. Once we were through, we headed back to Payson to resume our roles as parents, business partners, etc. I am so grateful for a husband who cares enough to put me first. I am so thankful that he enjoys spending time alone with me as much as I do. He is truly my best friend. As the weekend progressed, I couldn't help but falling more in love with him. I never imagined on our wedding day that I could love him any more...but I do. The best part is that we still have an eternity ahead of us to continue that love.
