Kiss of death

For our date night, we went and saw the new Hunger Games movie and then had dinner at the Asian Star. It was snowing quite heavily, and we got an upstairs window view of all the snow. It was beautiful.

 

 

We got 2 sushi rolls. One was a Thai roll that was ok... the second was called the Kiss of Death.

 

It featured a habanero pepper and a ghost chili sauce.

 

Trevor really wanted to try it. He loves all things spicy. And the ghost chili sauce screamed out to him.

 

He was pretty nervous to try it. It took him a good 5 minutes to work up his courage. Its one of those things you really want to do, but really are scared to do, but feel like you have to? You know those things? I do dumb stuff all the time because of that feeling.

 

Here Trevor is, working through that fear...

 

And he does it! The roll is in!

 

 

Starting to feel the affects...
 

 

Starting to sweat...

 

 

Going to pass out? Maybe.

 

 

The crying has started. Followed by copious amounts of water, which actually makes it worse, FYI.

 

 

It started to get pretty bad, scaring me. So I ran and found a waitress and told her the situation and asked if she could bring us a little bit of rice to stick on his tongue?

 

 

She came back with this medley:

 

 

She said she's seen people (lots of people) throw up because it was so hot. She said she's perfected the cure - you put a sugar packet on your tongue, then squeeze lemon on it, followed by a coffee creamer.

 

It helped.

 

Love,

Brittney

Temple Tuesday

Trevor and I went to the Salt Lake Temple tonight for date night (this week is going to be pretty crazy so today was our date night).

 

I love Temple Square with all the lights! It's truly incredible.

 

 

Going to the temple together has been one of my favorite parts of married life. It's added such an amazing aspect to our marriage. Since we started going regularly, I've felt the change in both of us as individuals, and in our marriage.

 

 

We did Sealings today, my first time doing them since getting married. It was so amazing to kneel across the alter from Trevor and hear the covenants we made to each other and God.

 

 

I truly love him so much more now than I did on the day we got married.

 

I was sitting in the temple, just checking him out. He is so ridiculously handsome! I just felt so much peace and assurance that I made an incredible decision in marrying Trevor.

 

 

There have definitely been some really hard times in the 5 months we have been married. But there have also been some of the happiest moments of my life. Learning how to be married isn't always easy - but it's also the most incredible thing.

 

I'm so grateful for the temple and that I've lived my life so I am worthy to enter. I'm grateful I waited to find Trevor instead of settling for other guys I've dated. Marrying him has truly been the most amazing and wonderful thing in my life.

 

Love,

Brittney

Surprise date night

Trev took me on a surprise date night.

 

Dinner at my favorite place, My Thai.

 

(So, in the past he'd take me to my favorite places, because, they are my favorite places. Now he's starting to love them too, so it's not just for me, he wants to go there to. SUCCESS!)

 

After dinner, he took me to The Leonardo. It is a hands on type museum. It's really cool - I took Lacey there last year. They are under construction due to preparing for their new exhibit - the Dead Sea Scrolls (AWESOME! We will be going back for that) so we got in for $10 total. Lots of things were shut down due to the construction, but there was enough there it was well worth our $10.

 

We spent a good chunk of time making this house:

 

 

We also make a stop action movie.

 

Plot as follows:

 

Chewbaca climbs a castle to save the beautiful one eyed My Little Pony with flowing (uh, knotted) purple hair.

 

Chewbaca grabs the damsel in distress and scales down the castle with her, only to be attacked by some weird pig creature from The Green Lantern - who proceeds to mercilessly take out Chewbaca and My Little Pony.

 

Then he is attacked by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. After an epic battle, the gross pig guy wins.

 

EPIC.

 

 

Date nights with this guy rock.

 

Love,

4 months married!

Went to a new Greek place downtown on our anniversary date night, then walked around.

 

 

Interesting fact - as we took this picture, Trevor's ex-girlfriend awkwardly walked by with a girlfriend. Trevor says after they've passed, "I think that was my ex-girlfriend."

 

He thinks. He's like, 90% sure. Haha. Cracks me up. Glad Trev's ex-girlfriend could witness our 4 month married date night picture. 

 

Love,

Brittney

Thai Spice date

Date night!

 

Thai Spice used to be mine and Daren's FAVORITE place to eat.

 

 

So I took Trev there. Not as good as I remember (or as good as my new favorite place, My Thai!)

 

(Trev is still sporting his chops for Halloween)

 

Proceeded home to watch a movie and snuggle (I'd been sick all week and Trev was coming down with it).

 

 

Love,

Brittney

Surprise Date Night

Tonight, Trevor took me on a surprise date night.

Those are my favorite.

We went to a restaurant we've been wanting to try - the Asian Star. The sushi was great - and so was the rest of the food. And the portions were huge, so we had leftover dinner for the next day too.

After dinner we went to a Nicklecade.  So much fun!

When I was little, I played Pinball on our computer ALL THE TIME. But I'd never actually played it in real life. Trevor wanted to document this historical moment in my life:

Date nights with this guy are the BEST!

Since today is Friday the 13th, we decided we ought to watch something scary. I hate scary movies. So we compromised and picked the best Friday the 13th movie ever - Ghostbusters!

Love,

Brittney
