Thursday, Zach left to go on a fishing trip with the men on my side of the family.  Zach is not much of a fisherman, but he went along for the ride.  Turns out he enjoyed himself in Nevada – fishing by day, casino by night.  He probably would have gone just to wear the polarized eyewear, let’s be honest.

So while he was casting away, my mom and I were enjoying ourselves.  Friday night, I took her to Trio in Salt Lake.  My mom and I are very similar in the fact that we LOVE anything Italian – pasta, pizza, gelato…so she enjoyed her meal as much as I did.

We spent the rest of the night visiting and watching Project Runway re-runs in her bed…and one episode of Jerseylicious, which is nothing like the Jersey Shore, by the way.

Zach got home earlier than I expected, Saturday afternoon, and luckily before the big snow storm!  Once the snow settled in, and a dangerous drive to Applebee’s for dinner, we vetoed the theater and decided to stay in for a movie.  So we collected some sheets and a string of light and made a fort in our guest bedroom.

It was a blast, and much more entertaining than a crowded movie theater!  Probably my favorite date in recent memory.
