Valentines Weekend
Feb
19
So even though this was a week ago I thought I would blog about it anyways.
Our valentines weekend started out on Friday evening when JJ gave me a beautiful necklace that is pictured on the left. He gave it to me on Friday night because his request is that I wear it on all of our dates and we had a date planned for the following day. JJ asked if he could get his Valentines gift because he already saw it – I need to hide things better! I got him a big box of 36 packages of Resse’s Peanut Butter Cups. I bought it at a case lot sale of course.
We started Saturday morning out by dropping the kids off at JJ’s brothers and his wife’s apartment for them to babysit (thanks Stephen and Kristina!) and then we went to the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
After the Temple we walked over to a restaurant in Downtown Salt Lake City called One World Cafe. It was the place where JJ took me to on our first date almost 6 years ago! He figured that it was a place that I would like. It is a really neat place. They serve only unprocessed organic and free range foods. When we first went there everything was Vegetarian but now they usually have a meat dish available. It is a buffet style where someone serves your food and at the end you pay what you feel the meal is worth. For people in the community who can’t afford to eat well they offer them an opportunity to work in exchange for a meal. They have a motto of giving people a hand up not a hand out – what a great idea! Rice and Dahl is offered to everyone for free though. The food is good and healthy even my husband likes the food and his idea of a multivitamin for men is cocoa puffs. The cafe has a few different rooms to dine in which allows for privacy – this led to us having our first kiss at this restaurant back in August 2004!
Sunday I stayed home from church with Sariah because she had a cough and a fever. It was a good thing I stayed home because later on I got a fever as well but no coughing which is nice because that would be very uncomfortable combined with pregnancy. Luckily we are all feeling fine now. That evening I made JJ a steak dinner with mesquite potatoes (we tried to copy a one world cafe dish but it didn’t taste exactly the same) and broccoli with a cheese sauce.
