Weekend Getaway

For Christmas, my parents gave Brandon and I a weekend getaway, including a hotel stay in downtown Salt Lake City, dinner, movie, and babysitting (can I say best gift ever?). We decided to use our gift this weekend and it was MUCH NEEDED. Dinner at the amazing Texas de Brazil was delicious, romantic, and offered time to chat, laugh, and make plans. A night without children allowed undivided attention for each other, not to mention getting to sleep in until 8:00 am...Yes! Leisurely heading down to breakfast, getting ready, and going to a movie was the perfect way to finish off our time as just husband and wife.

I've mentioned this before, but I firmly believe your spouse is the MOST IMPORTANT person in your life. When I make Brandon a priority, our marriage thrives. "Just Us" time nourishes our relationship and I told my mom we may need to budget a weekend getaway once a quarter! 

Being a parent is an awesome responsibility and blessing (really!) and I'm grateful for the three beautiful children we've been given. My husband is my partner in parenthood. He supports me as a mother, encourages me in my goals, and consistently sees beauty in my "rough edges". He is my best friend and greatest blessing. Thankful for a weekend getaway to give all my attention to him, because heaven knows he deserves it.
