Je t'aime

Spencer and I both had to work on Valentine's day
so we decided instead of one big night...
we would do little things together alll week long
{starting the previous saturday}
Spencer woke me up to a love letter
and 2 tickets to see
The Vow
um such a cute movie by the way
i definitely recommend it!

Then a day or so later he surprised me
with this to come home to:
{similar to his proposal}

Yesterday we went to our Eternal Marriage
Institute class and was planning on going
to the special needs Valentines Dance....
but i had to work a little late so i couldnt make it
Spencer stopped by for a few minutes while i was running late.

Then tonight i am surprising him with dinner at
Le Nonne
i only have two words for this
Crab Ravioli
oh.my.word.
it is to DIE for!
{my tummy is growling thinking about it}

Then this weekend we are going to Pocatello
to spend time with my family
and we will do all sorts of valentine's activities with
my fam. especially my 12 yr old brother
who isnt old enough to have a date yet!

So i learned the history of valentines day just recently
this is how it goes....
St. Valentine was one of many martyred saints in Rome
they cut off all of his limbs
and because that wasnt enough... {seriously?}
they took his heart and stabbed an arrow
through it and put it in the town center for
everyone to see as a warning
....
That is why the heart with the arrow
through it, is the symbol of
Valentine's day.
Not very romantic if you ask me
but hey.
im not gonna complain
i love being LOVED!
so i like this day

Well i hope all of you had a good
DAY OF LOVE!

A or B?

So i pulled up my blog because it had been a while
and i noticed my last couple posts have been
{once a month-ers}
and they have all said, roughly,
i am the worst blogger ever
and i'll do better.... blah blah blah 

well i have come to a conclusion
it is one of two things.
I'm sure of it.

option 1
if you tell yourself something enough
you will start to believe it.
may have been the case

or

option 2
i jinxed myself
i either forget
or only remember when i can't blog
like at work or in my car

We don't need to pick favorites here
so i decided i will pretend its both
that way one doesn't feel left out
and i blog more
its a Win-Win!

So i guess its basically a recap from well
....a month ago.
imagine that. ha.

This past weekend the fam went
skiing in Sun Valley for a few days
it was much needed.
That is probably one my favorite weekend get-a-ways
We turned the boards Saturday
chilled, ate, and watched the Superbowl Sunday
and Killed it again on the mountain monday!


Then came back to work tuesday
{I only have one online class so
i basically am just at work and home}
it was nice to be back
it made me happy how many people
were excited to see me back!

So one day at work....
Trevor {the owners son, who also is high up}
comes into the kitchen and asks
what my school schedule was like
and how long i have left
...so i told him.
and he walked away.
awkward right?
don't worry it gets better

So i had a friend come up to me and tell me there
was a position open in the conference center as an
Event Coordinator
so i applied and got an interview
They later called me back for a 2nd interview

So i show up to my 2nd interview
and the owner is pulling up 5 other chairs
not including mine
{i only interviewed with 2 in my first}
and so i joked with the owner about it
and he said actually we are interviewing you
for 2 jobs at the same time today
....a little confused, i agreed.
{the other job was with Marriott}

The interview went like this
1st person asks me a serious deep question
then they all took turns.
The interview lasted AN HOUR!
pretty dang stressful if you ask me

but i guess i did well
later that day i got called back and they offered
me the MARRIOTT position!
i am soooooo excited!
I am the new Sales Administrator.
its a full-time position
and i get paid Salary.
I get full benefits with Marriott and Wasatch
{wasatch is the property that owns
Elements, Riverwoods, Coppermill and Marriott}
Its pretty exciting.

my first day was monday
i have worked everyday from
9 am - 9 pm
start out at the office and at night go wait tables.
pretty exhausting.
but i made it look effortless
{First day!}
