Brittany and Christian's Day of fun!!!!

Well, Christian and I usually always have our days off together, but since it is our only day off it is spent doing a lot of errands, cleaning, or we are doing different things. So, since all of our errands and cleaning were done by me earlier in the week, Christian decided he was planning a day for us! It was great! I love when he surprises me with activities! He is a good little planner so we ALWAYS have fun!



Ever since we moved here, a year and a half ago we have wanted to chek out downtown Lehi. Sounds wierd I know, but we both love little town shops. So, first stop was a Pioneer party and Copy shop. It was so funny, it was a store that had everything! Little knick knacks, candy, soda, greeting cards, all your party supplies, a copy center, a balloon center, but also a bunch of stuff that could be found at the quilted bear~Homemade crafts and such. Another row over was a bunch of homemade baby/toddler clothing, and Squeaker Shoes!!!! It was such a cute little family run business! So, we bought a couple penny candies and a drink and then kept going on our little adventure. Our next stop was Deadwood pawn, where we got some great dvd's for $3 bucks each! We also found another wireless xbox controller for 20 bucks!!! We kept looking around and we came across some fishing stuff, and waders, with a big Sportsman's Warehouse log on them! It was awesome! We stopped at a couple more little shops down the road, but didn't purchase anything, just looked. It was great to finally do it though! We enjoyed it! It is just so cute, to see the little places. Even the cute little Barber Shop that still has a great clientel!

Christian's next idea was lunch, but we HAD to eat somewhere we had never been. So we decided to start driving and look. But first, on our drive, we saw a Pet store and We both LOVE animals so we stopped to take a look.


It was so much fun. They had the cutest little puppies, bunnies, and froggies there, it was awesome! We really wanted to buy one, but had to remind ourselves that we just got rid of one!!! They were just so darn cute! I double dog dared Christian to hold a Tarantula, I even offered him 5 bucks, but he said NOWAY!!! I don't think I could do it either though! So we just looked. It was a fun little stop.












After that we started back on our restaurant search. So, we drove a little further into American Fork where we had never been and by the Hospital there was this cute little diner called Spanky's, so we decided that is where we would stop! We were pleasantly surprised!!! They serve breakfast all day so Christian got pancakes, bacon, and eggs and it was great! I got a corndog and fries kids meal and it was also delicious.



We noticed when we were pulling into the restuarant that there was an arcade, so we went to check it out after we ate. We went upstairs and turns out it was much more than an arcade. It was a cute little lounge with nice couches, a large tv, arcade games, an ice hockey table, and a pool table. So we played pool. Christian killed me both times, but it was fun to play! It was such a fun little hang out spot. It would be a fun and cheap little group date if anybody is interested in coming with us next time! We were so glad we picked that spot to eat, because it ended up being our next activity!


On with the fun! After that we went to Thanksgiving point to see a movie, but it didn't start for an hour so we decided to go to the Rod Works Clearance Center. It is Awesome! Everything is Half off, and it is not damaged stuff! It's all really cute! So, we bought our Valentine's present their. Everything outside was already discounted and you got to take an additional 50% off! We got a new rod iron bench for the front of our house. $40 bucks! Normally $100! Woot Woot!!! I LOVE saving money! We also got a vase and placemat for our table super cheap!

So, Christian's final activity was the matinee. After Rod Works we went to our movie. We went to see Taken and it was great! Highly recommended! We both love Liam Neeson and he did an excellent job! After the movie we went home and watched American Idol! We have quite a few favorites right now! We are excited to watch it now that it has gotten down to fewer people! We LOVE that show!

So, Brittany and Christian's Day Of Fun, was just that! Christian did an excellent job planning! I love that we always try new places! Most of the time they are little dives that turn out to be favorites! We had a great time! I am so grateful I can have these days with him! We don't even have to spend a lot of money, it is just fun to be with him! We can make any activity fun! I was luckily enough to marry my Best Friend and can't wait for more exciting days out!!!
