Visiting My Sister Suz in St. George

On our way to Pleasant Grove, we stopped to see my sister Susan and her family in St. George. It was great to have a few days to see them and enjoy sunny St. George. While we were there, I (Roxane) turned another year older. I was pampered completely by Suz the day of (Sunday), she would not let me do any work and James made an awesome salmon dinner that everyone loved. The next day he surprised me to celebrate my birthday, our 11 year anniversary, and Christmas. First he sent me to get a pedicure at a local spa and Susan got to come with me. It was really relaxing and I was thinking "what a treat!". On the way back to the house, he said he wanted me to meet someone who was staying in the Best Western. I had no idea what he meant, but when we got to the room, he said "Oh, I guess they aren't here, but I have a key let's try it." We walk in and find this beautiful suite and he has roses and sparkling apple cider on ice. He had been planning a night away for us and I had no idea! He found this amazing room at a steal of a price since travel had slowed and it wasn't booked. It had a fireplace, huge jacuzzi tub, and a massive plasma flat screen. My sister's family watched our kids and we went to dinner at Anasazi and had fondue and cooked our dinners on Australian lava rock. Overall, it was an amazing celebration thanks to a thoughtful sweet man! Thank you James!
