GO BYU!

Mike and I had such a fun time this Saturday. We took a break from school and went to the BYU Basketball game. This was another first for us. I didn't think I would have as much fun as I did, but it was so much fun. I think I am addicted to live sports :). Although I can't stand people booing the other team, I have to say that towards the end I got into rooting for BYU and screaming for them to WIN! It was such a good game. Although BYU lost, they scored 81 points and with .6 seconds to go New Mexico won by two. The game was close the entire time which made it that more intense. I am excited to go to more games in the future—definitely better than watching on TV.

GO COUGARS!!!! We hope they win the championships.

The Greatest Day Ever! Mike's Favorites!

Amanda decided to surprise me with an early Valentines Day gift. It was actually a special day--that's right a WHOLE day, devoted to ME! I felt so special! Amanda woke me up around 7 a.m. on Friday and handed me a hand crafted envelope with a red painted heart and a number 1 on it. I rubbed my eyes and sat up a little bit as I opened the envelope. Inside the envelope it said I was to receive a full body massage. What a treat! I Then received an amazing full body massage! Ahhh it felt so good!
We then got ready and Amanda handed me another hand crafted envelope with a red painted heart and a number 2 on it. Inside the envelope it said we were going to one of my favorite breakfast places, Blue Plate Diner. YUM! We drove into Salt Lake and had breakfast. I got chicken fried steak, eggs and hashbrowns and Amanda got a Spinach and Avocado omelet. Then came card number 3. Inside the envelope it said we were going to one of my favorite places to shop, Nordstrom Rack. We went and picked out a really cool white button up shirt. It's always fun to get new clothes! I was feeling so SPOILED and the day wasn't even half way over! Card number 4 said we were going to get one of my favorite treats--CHOCOLATES. Amanda was so thoughtful when she came up with this day! I told her a few months back how much I loved the chocolates from Cummings Candy in Salt Lake and she remembered and took me there. We got a box full of carmel-nut chocolates, (my favorite) and a chocolate strawberry. The day could have ended here and I would have been totally pleased but NOPE...the cards keep coming! Card number 5 said it was time for something sexy--one of my favorite fantasies! I can't go into any detail on this part of the day...let's just say it was AMAZING! :) We then took a nap. After our nap I got to open card number 6. Inside the card it said we were going to get one of my favorite treats--frozen Yogurt. YUM! We went to Hello Yogurt and got some yummy yogurt piled high with toppings! We took a short break for a doctors appointment Amanda had to go to and then it was time for card number 7. Time for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants--RIB CITY! We went and enjoyed a FABULOUS dinner--the best ribs in the world! By the end of dinner I was feeling like a KING! I was so satisfied! It had been the best day of my life. I was wondering if there were going to be anymore cards...I mean I definitely didn't need anything else..I had been spoiled ROTTEN...but I wondered... And out came the final card, another hand crafted card with a painted heart and then it said & 8 meaning this was the final card. I opened it up and it said we were going to see Valentines Day the movie...another one of my favorite things to do. We went and saw Valentines Day and it turned out to be really good. I would recommend it to all the romantic comedy lovers out there.

So it turned out to be the BEST day of my life! I loved every minute of the day! Amanda put so much time and effort into planning and executing the day--Thanks Babe!! You are the BEST! We have some pictures that you can check out! It was so fun! I will always remember this special day. I can't say enough about how special it really was! I feel so spoiled!

On Sunday we went into Salt Lake and stayed over night at the Peery Hotel. It's a really cool little hotel right in the middle of Downtown SLC. We took a carriage ride through the city and then enjoyed a tasty dinner at Macaroni Grill. It was a very romantic evening. We got to share some great quality time together. Thanks Amanda for being so fun and wonderful. Monday we went to breakfast at Einsteins and then went home and hung out together and enjoyed our last day before school started again. That night we ordered pizza and watched The Bachelor. So much fun! It was the best 4 day weekend EVER!

Valentines Day Weekend

Laser Your Neighbor

So Yesterday Amanda and I got the chance to spend most of the day together. We went to the gym. We came home and got ready. We went on some errands. All the while we were having fun and stimulating conversation about things Amanda has been learning in her Psychology class. We were really enjoying one another's company.
After our errands we decided to go grab some dinner at Goodwood BBQ. It's right by the University Mall and we always drive by it so we figured we would try it out. Since finding the most amazing ribs in the world via Rib City, we have been trying to find ribs that match or are better. We both got baby back ribs. I got a full rack and when they brought it out I realized it could have fed us both. The portion was huge! I got the potato salad for my side and it was super delicious--probably the best potato salad I have ever had. YUM! Anyway, the ribs were really good...BUT not as good as Rib City's. I don't know if we'll ever be able to find better...
We came home and watched "Love Happens". We liked it. Wasn't the greatest movie ever but it was entertaining and enjoyable.
One of our errands was to get Nika some food and while we were in Pet Smart we picked up a laser toy for her. It's a little red mouse with a red laser that shoots out of it's mouth. It's just like a laser pointer but in the shape of a mouse. Nika liked it but I think Amanda and I liked it more. We took it back to 8th grade and were pointing it up our noses, in our eyes and all over the house being silly. I got the idea to point it out our window and to my surprise it shot all the way across the street! Wow! We were super impressed! Who would have thought a cat laser would shoot 200 feet across the street. We noticed that our neighbors across the street had some lights on in their upstairs bedrooms and so we thought it would be funny to point it into their window. You should have seen us. We shut off all our lights and cracked our patio door open and were on the floor sending our beam of red laser into their room onto their wall. It was hilarious! We felt so sneaky and mischievous. Two little girls came to the window and were trying to find out where the red beam was coming from. We rolled away from the opening of the door and whispered to each other, "Do you think they can see us?" haha... It was so funny! Then the girls would leave and we would shine the laser in their window and move it around on their wall until they came back to the window. We were laughing and whispering back and forth what we would tell people if they asked us about it at church the next day--or what we would tell the police if they came knocking on our door! Amanda-"Our neighbors are going to think we are creeps if they find out!" Mike- "They can't see us". Amanda-"They totally can! If someone at church asks us about it we'll just tell them our cat was outside and we were playing with her and it must have shot into their window." It was so funny! We decided to see how far it could shoot and we shot it at least 500 feet down the street into another neighbors window. They turned off their lights almost right after we shot the laser into their window--we thought for sure we were busted!
So for a night we acted like teenagers and created some mischief in our neighborhood. I decided I wanted to buy a higher powered laser and so I went on EBAY and bought a green laser for $8.88. Can't wait till it comes! On the shipping description it said, "ship so fast".....the seller was from Hong Kong. Anyhow that was our saturday night. We were going to build a fort in the living room--but decided that we would do it next week. Until our next adventure!

Hallelujah

Ever since I watched the Hope for Haiti Relief I fell in love with the rendition of this song. Chris Botti's rendition has always been my favorite but this moves to #1!

Your Making My Dreams Come True

Mike reminded me today, which made me smile, of one of our favorite parts of the movie 500 Days of Summer. Check it out! I love it! Every time I hear this song now I smile! This is right after he hooked up with the girl of his dreams. So funny because it totally depicts reality—when you fall in love you just want to stroll down the street with a high school band and DANCE! :) Love, what a wonderful thing!

Oh, you might want to pause our music so you get the full affect :)
