After an enjoyable walk out to the middle of the bridge we continued on our way up to lovely St. George where we spent the rest of the weekend with my family.  Saturday we went hiking in Zion.  It is my FAVORITE national park in Utah, although Arches is pretty high up there too.  Spending time there is almost as good as going home for me.

A couple weeks ago I helped out with an informal "Bellair Friends Triathlon." Bellair being the name of our ward here. As all of my friends rode in on their bikes or those that they had borrowed from us I thought "I should ride my bike more often." It looked really fun, so today... I did!

 I had to go to the post office which is conveniently located just on the other side of campus. Too short to drive and rather far away (or it seems that way) when it is really hot outside, so I took my bike. And can I just say... It. was. awesome. The weather is actually PERFECT today, not too hot with a slight chill in the air. I wish it would stay like this for the rest of the summer. :) And it felt so good to get out and do something active. LOVED IT! I guess I have really missed not exercising everyday (I've been slacking :( ) because riding my bike really cheered me up. Gotta love endorphins. :D  Rooi thinks his wife has lost her marbles, I'm in such a good mood.  Good stuff. 

So guess what!!! I (Rooi) finally posted something on my blog!!!...The End

I don't like cake but I will have to say they were pretty tasty.







Steak Dinner at home:

I don't do steaks.  Rooi has to cook the steak and since he is so busy on a normal basis, we don't have it very often.  But every Valentine's Day he makes time to go out and BBQ it for us.  At least this year he didn't have to do it in the snow.  We also had asparagus (because I love it so much) and I made dessert.  Heart-shaped Chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake.  Recipe found here.  This was my first attempt at cheesecake of any kind and I think it turned out pretty good.  Not perfect, but good.  Oh and I also decorated the table.  It was fun.

We try to be creative in our presents for each other on V-day.  This year Rooi got me an Edible Arrangement (something I have wanted since the first time I saw the commercial 3 years ago, I love fruit!!) He also made our whole dinner.  He let me help a little with some of the small stuff, but he planned the menu and told me what do.  It was very good, very delicious.  Twice baked potatoes, grilled asparagus, a green salad, and bacon wrapped beef tenderloin.  Muah!  Muy deliciouso!  I made Rooi a candy bar poster and a scavenger hunt that lead him around campus and back to our apt where he found a slide show of us from the past 4 years.  We met 2 days after Valentine's Day back in 2007, it doesn't seem like it's been that long, but it has.

That was it for us.  All in all it was pretty fun, and my present doubled as an activity for our date.  I was pretty proud of how it turned out and he only needed help to figure out one clue.  And he said he loved it so two thumbs up.  I got the idea from this website, My Insanity. 

Anyway, hope you had a fabulous Valentine's Day too!

I love my husband.  I don't know what I'd do without him.  He's such a goofball.
