So, I totally skipped telling you about our Valentine's adventures. I was at a conference down in Provo on Friday so Russ drove up and met me in Salt Lake that night. We went to an Italian Restaurant 'Al Forno's'. It's right next to a tatoo parlor so we were a little hesitant but it was a beautiful YUMMY italian restuarant. Then we were too early to go to our next activity so we went and walked around the gateway for an hour. As we were leaving we realized we didn't have any money to pay for parking so Russ drove around and around while I rummaged through every bag (I had about ten of them in the car: for the conference, for the night before, for that night, for my hair stuff, one with Russ's valentine's presents in it, my purse, etc.!) and I searched all throughout my car and not a dollar! I found 68 cents. So I had Russ stop and I ran up and asked the teller what I should do and he directed me to an ATM. After getting some cash we left the parking garage and the total we owed was $0.00!!! Who knew that when you're there for less than an hour you don't have to pay!? Then I surprised Russ by taking him to 'Romeo and Juliet' at the Pioneer Theatre at the UofU campus. It was a very well done play. We liked it the first three hours. After three hours when they weren't dead yet we decided to leave because it was already eleven o'clock. I know that 's bad manners but three hours of Shakespeare was enought! We hadn't checked into our hotel yet so I started freaking out that they wouldn't let us in... but they did. We stayed at the Peery hotel- it's an old hotel that they've redone. The rooms are small but it was nostalgic and beautiful! We left the next morning in a snow storm (in seperate cars) and barely made it to Kaysville. Later Sue took us the the Draper Temple Open House- BEAUTIFUL temple! Then we had chinese and played TICKET TO RIDE (the greatest game ever!) at Brent and Tristin's house. It was a VERY memorable Valentine's!!! I love my husbando!! :)

That's so funny about your parking situation. (probably not at the time, right?) I'm so glad you had a good Valentines!
ps I LOOOOOVE Ticket to Ride!!! I make Rob play with me almost every night:)
Fun Valentines Day. I'm glad the parking worked out. I've wondered what it would be like to be shocked - not that I want to find out. I don't know if Russ remembers, but when we were little kids we were pretending the outlets were secret passageways and we used metals keys to open them. We were old enough to know not to put them all the way in, but still...I think Russ may have gotten shocked. My Mom found us and that was the end of that game.
You are SO SO funny!!
P.S. I love Al Forno's too! We ate there last year the night before we ran the SLC 5K and we're planning on going back this year -- next week! And, yes, I agree- Ticket to Ride is one of the THE best games! Hope you're doing well!
