maybe i’ve been married 13 years…

maybe i adore him.

maybe i still get goosebumps when he kisses my neck.

maybe he makes me smile even when i’m grumpy. Even when I try not to smile.

maybe he is the funnest person i could have ever chosen to spend my life with.

maybe he is the most generous person i know.

maybe he is the most attractive man i have ever laid eyes on.

maybe we have a secret way to hold hands.

maybe we have a secret made-up word.

maybe he gives me unlimited support in everything i do.

maybe he has made my life more than everything i ever dreamed it would be.

“It’s a wonderful life.”

is currently the show playing at “Kingsbury Hall.” in SLC.
{totally recommend going!}
Our dear friends have all three of their boys starring in the kids cast…

So, we kicked off the Christmas season by going with the Duckworth’s to dinner at Buca di Beppo’s and the show…

We made reservations for the “Pope’s room,” a round table that seats 12-16 people! We all got a good laugh at the statue of the Pope’s head in the middle of the table, it was a bit odd to have him staring you down while you were eating…dinner was delicious, as expected. As always, we ordered way too much food!

It was so much fun to have such a large group,

ONcE upon a time there was a very handsome man who was head over heels in love with this girl. She made him crazy. Little did the man know, the girl had another boyfriend. whoops. But eventually this girl came to her senses and dumped the other boyfriend. So when this man said I love you and asked her to be his bride, she said NO. But, when he asked the SECOND time she said YES.

This man is celebrating his birthday today. He is so sweet and all he asked for was to spend time with his family. So his family took him to Park City yesterday.

Max & Cheese is Now Open in Orem.
[West side of State St. just past 1600North]

This toddler-friendly restaurant has a play area right in the middle of the restaurant so kids can play near your table while you’re waiting for your food, or during/after the meal.

It has a great selection of kids food and a separate menu for adults. I had the flat steak salad and it was surprisingly good.

Many of the tables have games laminated to them, so Kiana and I played “Chutes & Ladders” while waiting for our food and Myla & KJ played “checkers” while eating.

Sela loved the freedom of climbing up and down from her booster chair to eat and then running to play whenever she wanted.

I do not venture into American Fork very often these days. I notice from I-15 that alot of new restaurants/stores have moved in, but I haven’t actually been there for quite some time.

I went up to Highland to one of my favorite places, “Dear Lizzy” to check out any new merchandise this afternoon while wanting to buy Sela some barrettes they sell that are some of my favorites. Then I met up with my pal Susan BLAND a.k.a. Spicy…her latest nickname from me. This girl can pack in the spice when she eats, stuff that sends my mouth a-burning she eats like chocolate. So, in opposition to her last name, I have nicknamed her spicy, plus she’s got the same hairdo as the original spicegirl,

Rhodes & the Wall’s – thanks for dinner! A friend of a friend just opened this cozy/contemporary pizzeria in Orem’s Midtown Village – It is mouth-watering good! They have 3 appetizers…as they say, “a little something” that I recommend in this order… short ribs, sweet potatoes, and the 3 cheese macaroni. Then go for anything else on the menu! Let me know if you go there, I’d love to hear about it! We seriously ordered & shared half the entire menu tonight and you can’t go wrong. fyi: “seven twelve” is the temperature of the brick oven for baking.

* Britney, I will be waiting to see the “Wall” Blog!!!
