Celebrating the Love

Love month love: Families ...

After all - what would love month be without families? They help you out, they love you, and support you ... even if you're being unlovable or your ideas are crazy. They open their homes and hearts. They throw parties to celebrate and watch your dog when you are going out of town. They really make the world go 'round.

This weekend we had a great time celebrating this love-day. We went down to St. George to see Jeff's family. We had a great time catching up on all the latest with them ... and even had a Valentine's party! As always we come away knowing we are loved and missed (since we are ones that live far away) and that we have extraordinarily talented and adorable nieces and nephews.

And then we got to come home to my family so kindly watching Ellie for us even though they had a fun-filled weekend planned for themselves. And quickly making plans for other activities with them. Aren't we lucky?

And to top off the luck ... Jeff and I spent Valentine's at an adorable Bed & Breakfast in St. George. If you ever have the chance ... stay here! It is called the Green Gate Village - a collection of seven historic homes restored onto one quaint "village" square. It was love at first site! The Innkeepers were so thoughtful ... and the breakfast delicious. A little R & R away time was just what we needed to re-connect and celebrate how blessed we are to have each other.

Here is a picture of "our house":



Jeff has great taste huh?! Hope your Love Day was happy and full of people to care about!

You guys have the best adventures. I love how you both love to try new things. Speaking of - Guatemalan Dinner, anyone?
