What’s in a date?

With such a busy December we’ve started celebrating things at different times. I’m starting to enjoy it. For example, we got a great deal on a beachfront hotel back in June while in NC, so we celebrated our Anniversary. Now, there is a smoking deal at a five star/ five diamond place in Park City, the Stein Eriksen Lodge. So next week we will be celebrating Joy’s birthday!

Just to get Joy a little excited… this is the only five star/five diamond hotel in UT. We will start with dinner at Glitretind the award winning restaurant, where the chef makes handmade chocolates (which Joy will be getting a box of); a three course dinner is included so we will be eating an appetizer, main course and dessert. I think Joy will be eating the filet mignon, any other guesses?
Then we’ll prob take a walk or check out the breathtaking scenery, before we retire to our “deluze luxury” room (whatever that means). Where we will watch Survivor and other tv shows until we fall asleep. Then, most importantly, we will sleep UNINTERRUPTED until the rising sun pierces the curtains and alerts us that we haven’t died but that we have to check out and return to our precious children.

I can’t wait honey! Happy Birthday Joy.

It’s been HOURS since I’ve eaten any of Chase’s Halloween candy. I’m so proud of myself! 🙂 He was only allowed to have one piece today, but I allowed myself to have several. Is this bad?

I REALLY love candy. Pace rolls his eyes when we’re watching TV together and I end up with a pile of candy wrappers next to me.

When I was little, and would have the sacred privilege of enjoying candy, I would offer some to my mom and she would always say, “No, thanks.” And I would marvel: How is she able to resist? To this day, I still wonder. Because if I am offered candy, I am unable to refuse. And if Chase’s huge bag of Halloween candy is calling to me from the pantry, I heed the call. That’s why, often times, I still don’t feel like a grown-up!
