Another SURPRISE!!!

Well, last week Darrin SURPRISED me! He marked in my planner that we had a double date for last Wednesday. Then when Wednesday came he was being super secretive and at 3:00 in the afternoon he asked me if I was ready to go. I was really confused because you know, usually you don't go on dates until 6ish. So he told me to go wait in the car and not look at him when he came out. Then he began driving toward Park City. He asked if I had any ideas about what we were going to do on this date. I named some off and he just laughed saying, "well, to do any of those things we would need money. We don't have money so all of those things you mentioned are out!" In my mind I'm thinking, 'well then what on earth are we doing here?!' So confusing. He then pulls up to this really nice condo resort and says that we're going to have a two night get-away. Just the two of us. HOLY COW!!!!!! And goes on to say that we don't have to pay a penny! HOLY COW!!!!! It turns out that our friends got the condo for a week but couldn't use it the last two days so they asked Darrin if he wanted to take me.

We had SO SO SO much fun! It was just what I needed. So relaxing. Very romantic and just FUN! Don't I have the sweetest husband EVER?!

Camping and a SURPRISE!!!

We went camping on Thursday night and got back this morning (Saturday). It was SO much fun! We went to Maplegrove Campground which is just outside of Scipio, UT. We went with Jason and Patti (Bro and Sis in law + their 3 kids), Brady and Melissa (Bro and sis in law) and Wes (Bro in law that just got home from mish). Melissa and Brady planned the whole thing down to an art. We had AMAZING food (dutch oven...yum!!!), and we also got the chance to go "Geo-Caching".
It was SO gorgeous! Seriously, it was impossible to ignore all of the BEAUTIFUL creations all around us. The leaves were perfectly red, orange, yellow and green. The whether was cold but during the day it was just right. Plus, we saw about 8 deer in different areas. Very cool. Here are some Pics:
After we got home I made my famous chocolate chip cookies. YUM! I went downstairs to bring Donna (our renter-she's been living with us for a month and a half) some cookies and to invite her to church tomorrow. She was GONE! She was there Thursday and then gone by Saturday and we got home at 11:30! She didn't call. Didn't text. Nothing. She just upped and left. I'm still in shock.
So, our apartment is up for rent again. If anyone knows of anyone please please please let me know :). Thank you. We'll also definitely need all the prayers we can get for a lot of reasons. Thanks everyone!
