Greatest Christmas Gift!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year! We spent ours up in Price with the Burrows side of the family. As usual, Jason spoiled me despite the warnings I gave him. This year, however, he gave a present that goes above and beyond what I wanted for Christmas, but it is the best gift for us right now during the holidays. Jason booked us a CRUISE to the Bahama's during New Years Eve!!! We just love to travel and had a wonderful time on our last cruise, and Jason said that he wanted us to have the most relaxing vacation to start off the 2011 year. We are actually leaving tomorrow so have a wonderful New Year's Eve and we will see you all next year :)

Favorite Picture Friday: Dec. 10th, 2010
This time of year is great to be living right next to the temple because all of the Christmas lights are up and twinkling! Jason and I went to the temple last night, but before we went in I wanted a picture of us with the lights. I love this time of year!

Favorite Picture Friday: Dec. 3rd, 2010
This picture is a collage of pictures that we took recently in Philadelphia. I know I need to put up those pictures and tell the stories of our great adventures out there. This picture was taken by the famous "Love" scuplture in, go figure, Love Park. It is one of the main tourist attractions in Philadelphia, since it is the town of brotherly love, and we had a blast walking around and enjoying the park. I loved hearing the story about the man who built the "Love" sculpture and someone asked him why he built it with "O" tilted. The man just replied that love doesn't always have to be perfect.
I will be sure to post the rest of the Philadelphia pictures later. Have a great Friday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!!
It's that time of year again when the most important man in my life gets to celebrate the day he was born. That's right, it is Jason's Birthday. Well, actually his birthday was on Monday, but we were celebrating his birthday from 6am to midnight so that didn't give a lot of time to post anything for his special day.
It was different to get to celebrate Jason's birthday at home, since the last two years we have been out of the state for his birthday, due the my ASHA conference we have been attending for 3 years now. Two years ago Jason was in Chicago for his birthday, where he got to decide what we did and he chose to go out to Ruth Chris' for an incredibly fancy dinner and the best tasting steak! Last year Jason was in New Orleans for his birthday, which is a party town anyways that celebrating his birthday was easy out there! Now we are back to having his birthday at home, which meant that I got to come up with a theme again. Every year for Jason's birthday, when we weren't traveling, I would come up with a theme to make his birthday that mouch more special. One year we had watched some of the episodes of the show "24," so for Jason's birthday that year he had 24 presents for the whole day, and he had to wait every hour to receive a new one.
This year I was thinking of all the different themes I could do, and I couldn't help but be inspired by one of our favorite rides from Disneyland, Pirates of the Caribbean. This meant Jason was going on a Treasure Hunt. He started off the day with me bouncing on the bed so excited and waiting for him to wake up. I hope he was okay with me waking him up early, but to me his birthday is more exciting than Christmas. Once he became conscious he was given a note explaining how his presents had been hidden this year, and he was given little treasure boxes that gave him clues where they were hidden. I don't think I was really mean about where I hid some of the presents, such as the trunk of the car, under the bed, and in the shower (the presents didn't get wet). While Jason was following his clues I was resisting giving him extra clues and made him a nice hot breakfast. It is always hard to have your birthday on a weekday, especially when you are like Jason and I where we work full-time and are busy throughout the week, but we celebrated as much as we could. I hid a secret love note in Jason's jacket and surprised him with a lunch, and Jason's work is always sweet and celebrates everyone's birthday with cake. Every year Jason gets to decide what he wants to do for dinner on his bday, and this year he wanted to go do the "All you can eat Sushi" meal. Let's just say that by the end, I thought we were going to explode of rice and yellowtail. I hope Jason had a fantastic birthday and I just want to let him know how much I love him. Jason, you are the man that I grew up dreaming and wishing for to hold my hand and be by my side forever. You have grown up to be a man that I am so proud of and love to be around every second of every day. I often get asked why Jason and I love to travel so much, and my answer is because Jason and I hate to be apart when we are at work, so traveling is out time when we get to be together 24/7, which is all we want. I love the fact that I am always finding out new information about Jason, and we are constantly coming up with inside jokes. I love that fact that I can get Jason to blush, and that I will never win in a tickle war with him. He is the greatest man I know and someday he will make the most amazing father. I love you, sweetheart!

Fall Pictures 2010
Here are some of the fall pictures that we took not too long ago. Every year I always look forward to the fall season. I don't know why I love it so much. Maybe it's because of the nice weather or the beautiful colors of the trees, but I just love it! We always want to take pictures every year with the fall leaves, but in St. George fall takes an awful long time to get here. Even right now only a few trees in town are turning colors. We get fall pictures around Christmas time. I'm not complaining because I love the weather in St. George, but this year Jason and I couldn't wait for fall to come to us. We had to go find the fall tress. Thank goodness Pine Valley isn't too far. We love going up to Pine Valley and we timed it just right this year because the trees were breathtaking! The weather was perfect and the leaves were a golden yellow. Anyways, here are some pictures from that wonderful day!
