An Early Valentines Weekend

We had just got back into town after an amazing weekend visiting the in-laws and eating out and shopping and I was expecting an unexciting week ahead back home.

But then the doorbell rang. A huge vase of roses was left by ProFlowers with a sweet note attached. I was super confused. I asked Braden if he meant to have these flowers sent before we left and he said, Well since I can have them delivered on any day I want, that doesn't make sense, does it?

After watching me be stupid for about 30 minutes, he finally told me he was taking me on an early Valentines Day trip somewhere. I don't like secrets unless I'm in on it and I was having a meltdown because he wouldn't tell me where we were going. A cute meltdown, though.

He hinted that we were staying at the MGM Grand because they were having a big event that weekend. He hopped in the shower and I searched on their website and couldn't find it. And then it hit me! I was staring right at it but my brain wouldn't believe it: he was taking us to the Lady Gaga concert!! I screamed like a crazy person and jumped in the shower, clothes and all, to hug the crap out of him and jump up and down.

Our room at the MGM Grand, so luxurious! Not pictured, HUGE flat screen tv and mini bar.

They were general admission tickets and we were in the front row!

Ending the crazy and fun-filled week with some good old Korean food at MyungGa in SLC.

Jazz vs Heat

Went to a Heat game with some friends (Jazz won, yay for us, boo for friends).

Christmas Break in ATL

Christmas was bittersweet this year. Our Jamaica trip did not end up working out (and we lost a lot of money on that.. so sad!) but Christmas break in Atlanta is always memorable. We rented a car this year and we got to have a bit more freedom. There was SO much shopping, eating out, and other random things..

Taking the bros to Five Guys for the first time. Verdict? Best burger ever. That's right!

Joseph snuggling up with Wesley after a long night of Walking Dead marathons! Which were promptly followed by Waffle House trips at 3 in the morning.

Hahaha, this is my favorite photo ever. It makes me laugh so much.. We took a trip to the zoo since we are all obsessed with animals. Clearly, my brothers were born to be meerkats. 

Going into the "Asia" section at the Atlanta Zoo. Obligatory Asian poses!

The whole family at our favorite Chinese restaurant. Still can't remember what it's called but it's SO delicious! Jasmine tea, lots and lots of good food, good company... what a great night!

Making homemade pizza! It was really fun going to the grocery store and picking out what we wanted for our pizzas and then assembling them.

Can't believe Christmas is already over :( I can't wait to go home again in the summer!
