A wonderful weekend!

Our anniversary weekend started out a little rocky. We dropped Deegan off at Eric's parents and headed towards the canyon. It was VERY snowy so we decided to drive Eric's truck so we would have 4WD. Good idea!! As we were getting ready to turn onto the highway and head into Sardine Canyon, there was a car coming out of the canyon turning right on the road we were on. Needless to say, he was going WAY to fast for the weather and started sliding. Eric tried to get out of the way but no luck. He smashed right into us! I have never been in an accident that I could see coming and couldn't do anything to stop it. Kind of weird. This was also Eric's first car accident. He was mad because his truck got hit, I was mad because we would now not make our reservations in SLC. ha ha. I was just glad we had already dropped Deegan off! The cops took forever to come but I am sure they were pretty busy since the weather was so bad. I was not going to let this ruin our weekend. I called Tucanos and luckily they could push our reservations back an hour. So we got everything taken care of and were on our way about an hour later. We were starving!

The damage. It hit the bed and part of the cab pretty good. After he hit us, it pushed us quite a bit!

He also chipped our rim. The estimated damage is $4400!

Here is what the canyon looked like. Luckily the weather greatly improved once we got out of the canyon. I15 was clear!

We made it to Tucanos and had a great time. It was so yummy! They have the most amazing salad bar!! Not a flattering pic. ha ha. I started to get emotional part way through dinner but was holding it together until Eric's mom sent me a picture message of Deegan that said "I love you mommy!". I started to cry. ha ha. Only a tiny bit though and then I was good! What can I say, I missed him. He was in great hands though!

After dinner we went to our hotel, Little America. It brought back lots of memories from my childhood. We stayed there several times with my grandma! It was very nice. We were deciding if we wanted to go swimming or watch a movie, (you could pay extra to watch a movie that is still in theaters, in your room. I thought it was cool.) So I put on a swimsuit and that decided it. We stayed in and watched a movie. ha ha.

In the morning we got up and went shopping at the Gateway. We got some sweet deals! Eric found a coat he liked at Urban Outfitters but it was $100. We decided it is only our 5th anniversary once so why not. To our surprise it rang up as $60! Sweet! I looked at a few places for an outfit for Deegan's 3 month pics but no luck! I desperatly needed some jeans. Mine are still a little tight. I didn't want to spend a lot since I plan (we will see how it goes!) to loose more weight in the coming months. So we went into Wet Seal and they had a rack of jeans of $10! I found 3 pairs that I liked. Another great steal! Our last stop was the Roxy/Quicksliver store. Eric wanted to go in so I figured I might as well. I found a cute jacket that was $80 half off. I was debating if I really wanted it or not when the sales lady came and said, "Just so you know, everything that is marked 50% off is an extra 50% off." SWEET!!! So we both looked and I got 3 jacket/coats and a shirt and Eric got 2 windbreakers and a zip up hoodie and our total was like $120! We saved over $200! I was pretty excited about it.

Then we decided we better leave the Gateway before we did more damage. We stopped at Babies R Us to get Deegan some new bottles and to look for an outfit there but no such luck on the outfit again. We stopped in to Sportsmans Warehouse just to browse. We like to look at their artwork. We have been really wanting to get The Prayer at Valley Forge and they had one that matched our house so good!! I loved it and thought we would need to save and come back for it. Eric all of the sudden just picked it up and said "Let's get it." I honestly thought he was kidding! Nope! We brought it home!

The pic doesn't do it justice. It is so pretty and the mat and frame match our decor and house so good!! We love it! It was such a fun weekend! We never spend money like that so it was a nice treat! We missed Deegan and I was so happy to see him but it was so nice to have the weekend together. We really needed it! Thanks for watching him for us! All in all, it was the perfect weekend! Well, all except for the car accident part. :)
