A St. George Favorite

http://www.twentyfivemain.com/cafe.php
So I spend a bit of time in St. George for work about 4-6 times each year, and over the past year I have found a new favorite in St. George on Main Street there is a little cafe called 25 Main. They have good food, but they are famous for their cupcakes, different flavors are available on different days, so I have been sampling a flavor each time I come down. Tonight I took Steve there for the first time, and I think we have another fan. So if you make it to St. George for any reason, I would highly reccomend you stop and at least try a cupcake $1.25 each, but well worth the cost, and the calories.

Surprise

I hate it when I ruin a surprise that Steve has planned for me, the daffodils featured in the picture above, are another example of my need for control & observant behavior ruining a surprise. About a month ago I heard a commercial for Daffodil Day's, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and I said to Steve, I love daffodils what a great fundraiser. About a week later, I was checking our bank acount and noticed that there had been a donation made to the American Cancer Society, usually I make those types of gifts so as we were driving home that evening I quizzed Steve about the gift, it was a gift made to the Daffodil Day's fundraiser so that he could get me these beautiful flowers. I received them yesterday and it was a nice surprise because I didn't know what day they would be coming, but it would have been better had I not known they were coming at all. A few years ago Steve tried to surprise me with a trip he had won from work, and someone made an innocuous comment about him winning something and I grilled him until he told me, So I guess my lesson is that even if I think something is up or unusual, maybe I should just trust Steve and keep my mouth shut.

Spring!!!

I am so excited that it is Spring, anyone that knows me, knows that I love the snow and the winter, but this year in particular I was just ready for some sunshine, and beauty. There have been a few medical issues going on in my family, and it has all added up to make me feel a little bit down, but yesterady was a great spring day, and I was particularly grateful.

Because it was so beautiful I just wanted to be outside, so in the afternoon, Steve and I went down and walked around the Bountiful Lake (who knew there was such a beautiful place so close to home) - as the Bountiful Lake is located in our own little city of West Bountiful.

Beauty can be found in the strangest of places, because the Bountiful Dump is also located in West Bountiful, right next to the Bountiful Lake, not sure if you can read the sign below but it states that the Dump, in our city is only accessible to Bountiful residents, not West Bountiful citizens... seems a little crazy to me, but in spite of my frustration over our land being used to dump another cities waste, I was grateful for the beautiful walk so close to home.

What a Great Husband!

So it has been kind of a long / tough weekend, it was Bowl for Kids' Sake on Saturday and I worked all day, and due to the economy I have been a little worried and stressed about how the event would go. Well, it was great, things went well, but I am exhausted. Without my noticing this morning Steve grabbed a gift card that we had been saving for a special occasion and at about 11:30 AM when I was burried in the piles of paperwork for the event, he called and said what would you think about us going to The Melting Pot tonight. What a great idea, we arrived about 6:30 PM, had cheese fondue with bread, vegetables and apples. Then cooked our meats including, shrimp, salmon, pork, chicken and my favorite filet mignon in vegetable broth. Followed by a chocolate/peanut butter fondue with fruit and treats. It was "fabulous" We finished at about 8:45 PM, it was such a relaxing nice evening.... Thanks Steve

Girls Night Out x 3

So this week, was a busy one, with three separate girls night out evenings... I think Steve might actually enjoy them more than I do because it means that he gets to stay home and do whatever he wants including play video games. :)

First was the Concert -

I went to the Celine Dion concert with Abbey (my college roommate / and one of my favorite concert buddies). I had received the tickets for free, and Steve said he would go, but I could tell he really didn't want to, then I remembered that Abbey and I used to turn Celine on, loudly at times while we got ready to go out, and I was glad that she was free and excited to join me. It really was a good concert, she is a pretty amazing entertainer.

Second there was Book Club and a Movie

I have been in the same book club for longer about five years and we meet once per month to talk about the book, one of us has chosen, this month there were only three of us available to meet so we all met at McCool's for dinner (decent food) and to discuss the book "Girl in Hyacinth Blue" Book Club night is always a treat, but this night was extra special because then April and I decided to go see "Confessions of a Shopaholic" It was such a cute book, that I should have been more prepared for the movie to disappoint, as they always do when you love the book. But the evening did not.

Third there was Yoga with Kim

So Steve and I joined Gold's Gym about two weeks ago, and Kim (my sister-in-law) suggested that we try a yoga class together. I couldn't believe how hard it was, granted I'm not in the best of shape, but it was amazing what a workout it was - I wasn't able to complete all the moves, but it was a good time, and I think we may make it a weekly tradition, so hopefully soon, I will be able to complete the entire class.

To top the week off, I also got to have lunch with my friend Mindi and her new baby Sophie. It was a good week filled with good friends.
