Valentines Day Weekend, and Stake Conference weekend with our favorite pals

Last weekend consisted of Stake Conference and hanging out with some of our favorite people out here in Texas.

BJ's before the Saturday Adult session of Conference. We love their Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Its our fav.


I made something new for dinner and dessert


Shrimp Pasta in a Foil Package. Recipe from Pioneer Woman.

Chocolate melting cake. The recipe is from Carnival Cruise. I baked it too long though. The middle should be more runny. It was still good though.
This weekend we celebrated Valentines Day because Adam is leaving early tomorrow morning for Pennsylvania.

We went to Logan's Roadhouse for dinner. It was a lot like Texas Roadhouse.
Yummy honey butter rolls


Appitizer: some cheese dip


Dinner: Filet Mignon, Salmon, baked potato, mac and cheese, ceasar salad

I was trying out the camera settings. I like Candid shots sometimes. No poses, just us in the moment.


Adam got me back by snapping this shot of me. I sported one of my spring scarfs that night. I am so happy this next week is going to be 70 degrees. I am glad that the snow/ice didn't last long.
Dessert: Cinnamon Roll Sundae. I ate all of it. I am such a pig sometimes!


After dinner we went to the movies and saw Just Go With It, and really enjoyed it. It's really cute, funny, and entertaining the whole way through the movie. It's a chick flick that the boys will enjoy too. I like the tradition of Adam taking me to a chick flick every Valentines Day.


The next day Adam made brunch

Vanilla Crepes (my fav)

Then we finished up the second season of Friday Night Lights. We are SOO into this show. We have put 24, Heroes, Castle, and everything else on hold.


Then my hubby took me to get my eye brows threaded, to get my Seven For All Mankind jeans hemmed at the tailors, and to the nail salon to get a pedicure and manicure. I have the best Valentine!

Afterwards we went to the Stake Valentines Dinner and Dance. I got to slow dance with my Valentine while we exchanged kisses. We had a good Valentines weekend. We had lots of sugar!




Didn't have any other paper besides the pink and white, and all I had were pens and a highlighter. I made this card before Adam got out of bed. I had to be quick. I think it turned out alright.

Thanks for the Valentines Package Mom :)

Oh so I had to speak in Church today! It was on Service in the Church. I talked a lot about the good samaritan and why its important we follow the example of the good samaritan. I got a lot of compliments, so I think it went well. People actually recited back things that I said that touched them. I was just happy that people actually paid attention. Someone told my husband that my talk really helped him, so its good to know that I at least effected one person. I get so nervous before I speak, but once I get up there I am all confident. It is totally weird, but its better than being nervous while giving the talk. Anywho, I hope you all have a fabulous Valentines Day tomorrow! Going to get back to watching the Grammy's now.
