LOVE DAY...OR NOT

I have been asked several times what we did to celebrate Valentines Day (aka the day of LOVE where you show affection and express your love to your significant other). Hmmm... Do people really think before they ask that question? In my opinion it's like asking someone what they did on their wedding night. I don't want to know your dirty acts of love. Tiger Woods might but I don't (couldn't help myself). So with that being said and knowing that I try to keep this blog somewhat of a PG rating here we go...


"Hey Heidi, what did you and Clayton do to celebrate Valentines Day?"
Ummm...NOTHING.


It's true. we were a very unromantic couple on Valentines Day. Oh wait, I take that back Clayton did make me HEART-shaped biscuits Friday night, right before we immersed ourselves in numerous episodes of "Modern Family." And I did make us breakfast in bed (smoothies) on Saturday morning, but lets be honest smoothies in bed is a regular event on Saturday mornings.


This isn't to say we didn't have a great weekend, cuz we did. It was a fabulous weekend. One to blog about in fact. But not romantic.


One of the highlights that I actually got pictures of was X-country skiing. I have only been once and this was Clayton's first time putting the sticks on his feet. After the last weekends snowshoeing adventure we decided that Green Canyon is definitely a skiers canyon. So that is where we headed. Thankfully I dressed a little better this time so there was no need to bury my clothes.

Racing downhill...a very slight downhill

Totally fake I tell you. He likes to pose like that.
Have any of you ever put your camera on timer, ski around a fence to the picture taking spot and try to look normal all in 10 seconds? Not to easy. Yes we need a remote. this took several times.

Finally...

OTHER NON-ACTS OF LOVE INCLUDED (but are not limited too)

- getting 4 pairs of Burton snowboarding socks for 60% off at Al's. Score!

- getting my hair done and having more red lowlights put in. I guess since they were red it could be considered Valentines Day festivity

- delicious dinner and company with the Hylton's

- shake at Charlies!!!!!

- falling asleep in Sacrament meeting and having my name said over the pulpit which caused everyone to look and laugh at me. That was awesome.

- keeping warm with my blanket in our igloo of a church house. Blankets in church are not just for babies anymore. Bring on the Cheerios.

- Peanut butter cupcakes. Still need some perfecting.

- Olympic's opening ceremony to which Clayton kept commenting "This is so boring." Crazy Canuks.

- Sunday dinner at the 'rents with more heart shaped biscuits and ICE CREAM (not together). Thanks mom for finally coming through with the ice cream last week.

- samples at Macey's (the food store not the department store)

- Delicious Valentine treats from family and friends who used their culinary skills to celebrate the holiday.

- Interrupting Brandon and Chelsey's romantic birthday/valentine dinner at our house. Sorry again about that guys and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chelsey.

- Waking up at 4am on Saturday morning and not being able to fall back asleep. I resorted to the next best option...the movie "Wimbledon". high quality flick I tell ya. not really.

So as you can see our weekend lacked ROMANCE. We have decided to have a Valentines DO OVER. It will take place this weekend. Don't worry I will spare you the details...
