Well Valentine's Day is over, thank goodness! It was... terrible. Honestly the worst V-day I have worked. This was my fourth year at the Flower Patch and it far surpassed all of them. I was so excited for the day to be over. Spencer did make my day a lot better, though. He was a contract driver for the holiday so I got to see him intermittently throughout the day. Just seeing him like that made my day so much better.
It was really just the night that got me. I was there at 6:45 that morning and come about 6pm that night I was starting to get a bit tired and sick of being at work. And of course I was dealing with ornery customers on the phone's in the back. I must interject now and say that I don't think there is ever reason to be mean to someone. I don't care what has gone on, there is absolutely no reason to be mean to another person. Now back to my night. After talking to a couple extremely upset, rude, and very mean people, I broke down. I just started crying cause I couldn't hold it back anymore. My manager was lovely and held me for a little while before she took over the phone call I was on because the lady had asked to speak to the manager. Anyway... I finally got off at about 8:30 but Spencer and I were hungry and definitely not feeling like cooking anything. So we walked across the street and ate at the Malt Shop. Yum! It was so good after a long day at work. I slept very well that night, needless to say!
The rest of the week I was still very busy with everything. I couldn't wait for Friday to come around and I was SUPER excited when it finally did! Spencer and I had gotten a coupon for this Bed and Breakfast in Cedar City so we decided to use it the weekend after V-Day because we knew we would both need a break. We got our room for half off, but upgraded for about $30 and it was soooo worth it! The place is called Amid Summer's Inn. I highly recommend going there if you want a relaxing/romantic getaway. The place was beautiful! And the breakfast in the morning was divine. It is home-made every morning and was so delicious. The night we got there we were so excited for our room. We stayed in the Sir Francis Drake room and it was decorated in sea apparel. There were ships, captain hats, oars, compasses, all sorts of stuff for decoration. It had a king size bed that was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in in my entire life. We had such a wonderful night and wished we could stay longer. But it was back home the next day! I had through Monday off, though, so the weekend was still absolutely amazing. It was so relaxing and sooo nice to be able to spend time with Spencer. We spend a lot of time together, I know, but being to be together for a few days straight was so wonderful.
This week has gone by pretty quickly. School is still raging on and I am starting to stress out a little because I have the first draft of my full length play due on Wednesday. Yikes!
But today was wonderful (after I got off of work at 2, at least.) I came home and Spencer and I just goofed around, had lunch, etc. Then we went to the Temple with Brian and Julia, our good friends. We did sealings, and it was my first time doing them so I was very excited. It was truly a wonderful experience! Kneeling across the altar from Spencer again was so wonderful. It made me think back to our wedding day and how happy and excited I was. I starting thinking about the people that we were doing the sealing for and it made me happy. I know that they were probably overjoyed at being sealed for all eternity-I know I was! And we got to do sealings where children were sealed to the parents. It is truly a miraculous thing. The Temple is such a beautiful place. It is so amazing that we can do work for the dead so that they can receive the blessings even after they are dead. It was so special to be able to do that with Spencer and I loved it and can't wait to go back!
After the temple we were able to spend the rest of the evening with Brian and Julia. They made dinner (which was so yummy) and we brought the oreo cheesecake that Spencer made (which was absolutely amazing and delicious! SO glad I have a husband that is a wonderful cook!). I was able to write there more scenes for my play, but now we are home and I am ready for bed. We haven't gotten much sleep the past few days and I am really feeling it.
I just have to end with saying how grateful I am to have such a wonderful husband. Spencer is so good to me and I am so grateful to him. I am glad that we get to be together for time and all eternity. Eternity-what a concept!
