A weekend to ourselves

Our great friends Jessica and Michael Monson watched our kids last weekend so Nate and I can escape for some "us" time. It was sooo fun and relaxing. We stayed on Nate's parents' boat. We spent the day Saturday at the waterpark acting like kids, getting barrelled in the wave pool, and yelling and laughing while we sped down the slides. The best part of all, perhaps, was our discovery of the massaging characteristics of a waterfall and a relaxing hot tub. It seemed to blast away our cares. Fortunately, that same weekend Groupon was having a deal for a pizza place that was right at the boat harbor, so we took advantage and gobbled down delicious hot, inexpensive pizza before settling down to Cupcake Wars on the Food Channel.

I was grateful that while we were watching the thought came into my mind that we didn't pay for our parking space. We were even more grateful to find we hadn't been towed away. Thank goodness for the Holy Ghost.

We left the next morning to come back home to our girls, and met up with them at church. A woman commented how I was so patient and loving to our kids and seemed so happy...

...I think we ought to get away more often.
