Valentines / Montana Trip

This was our first Valentines Day being married. I was super excited about it. We decided between the two of us that we weren't going to go all out because we just bought an Xbox 360. We decided that we were going to make a nice dinner and count the Xbox as our Valentines Day gift to each other. I was totally fine with this but deep down I really wished that he would get me flowers. I love flowers. All day I saw flowers come in and I would deliver them to their recipient. Finally right before I left, a beautiful  bouquet. I was so happy!! I decided to surprise Spence and have dinner and desert ready when he got home from work. We had chicken Parmesan over noodles, steamed broccoli, and garlic bread. For dessert I got with fondu and chocolate covered strawberries. It was delicious!



I took of the next day so we could head up to Montana for the weekend. We went up to Montana for Boyd's basketball senior night. Alan's cousin Annette lives in Orem and wanted to come up for the weekend to see Grandma and Grandpa Jenne as well. It was going to be a party up there! Both of the grandparents , Laynee (don't know how to spell her name) Spencer's cousin, and us were going to stay at the Jenne's. It was awesome that Annette drove with us. We got to hear a bunch of stories about the family. We grew closer to her. She also told us the story about how her husband died. I felt honored because she said that she doesn't tell the story to many people.


When we got up to Montana we went straight to Boyd's game. He played so good! He was one of the high scorers. That night we went back home and talked. We all caught up on each others lives. I met Laynee for the first time. She just got back home from her mission in Australia. She was a lot of fun!

Saturday morning we got up and went to breakfast with Chase and his girlfriend. Chase is a best friend of Spencer's growing up. He is about 6 foot 7, I swear! After breakfast we headed up to Stevenville to watch Boyd play basketball again. We all had to cram in the Tahoe... It was the most uncomfortable drive ever! It only took us 3 hours to get there! They lost the game to so it wasn't even worth it! We got back home around 10:30 and went to bed. Everyone was beat.

Sunday morning we woke up and went to sacrament. Alison, Boyd, Spencer and I skipped the rest and went shooting together. We had a blast although we looked like hicks! We all wore our jackets that Lee Ann and Alan bought us for Christmas. It was SO cold. If the wind would have stopped it would have been perfect weather. Then we played with the horses. Spence and Alan were trying to break the wild one. It was really scary. Grandma Jenne taught Alison and I how to make apple pie from scratch. It was so much fun! Our pies turned out to be so delicious!

 

Monday morning, we woke up and played with the horses some more. They stomped on Spencer's foot. Thank goodness it didn't break. We headed home around 2 and got home around 8. It was such a good weekend. :)
