I tried posting yesterday, and just as I went to save my post, I lost my internet connection and lost my entire post. I was so ticked off about the whole thing, I just walked away. So, I'm back today to post what I was going to post yesterday. :)
First fun surprise: Gavin surprised me with a super fun one-night trip to Vegas for Valentine's Day. It was SO fun. We stayed at a Holiday Inn express. While we were in Vegas, we went thrift store shopping. I L-O-V-E thrift store shopping, and Vegas has much better ones than Utah. We also stopped in St. George on the way home to go to the D.I. there. There D.I. is TONS better than Utah County D.I.'s. The stuff here is crap and is priced ridiculously high for used, donated stuff. St. George, on the other hand, has pretty nice stuff and it's priced low. It was such a relaxing 2 days. I really enjoyed the car trip. Andrielle is such a great traveler, she just sleeps the whole time, so Gavin and I were able to just talk. It was really nice.
Second fun surprise: My brother, Jeff, got his mission call!! He's going to be serving in Des Moines, Iowa. He leaves at the end of May. We're really excited for him. I think he's excited, too, that he will be serving state-side, and speaking English. He's such a great "kid" - I'm proud of you, Jeff!!
Third fun surprise: My parents surprised my whole family (Gavin, Andrielle, myself, and all my brothers) with a 7-day Mexican Riviera Royal Caribbean cruise in May before Jeff leaves. I am so so SOOO excited! This is my first cruise ever, and I am so excited to be going with my whole family.
