Where Have all the Fig Leaves Gone??

It seems like lately there has been plenty of talk about the creation…Maybe because it was last week’s lesson in Priesthood/Relief Society or maybe others have attended the temple recently…I am not quite sure but many people are discussing Adam and Eve…and that dad gum fruit and WHO is truly to blame. Now keep reading because this post has absolutely NOTHING to do with transgression or placing blame…it merely has to with the fact that YESTERDAY I felt that EVE did me a HUGE favor.

Yesterday I had the day off and my sweet sis-in-law Lyndsey and bro-in-law Bryan were in Las Vegas for a trade show. Bryan was in classes and conventions all day so I drove down to spend the day with Lyndsey.

Although I have been in this family for 2 years now Lyndsey and I have never really had the chance to spend time, just the 2 of us. This was the perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other a little better and to “BOND”…and believe me BONDING WE DID!

Bryan offered Lyndsey and I an opportunity to get a spa treatment to start our day. After much discussion and pamphlet reading we decided on an aromatherapy, 1 hour massage. Sounds relaxing huh? I met Lyndsey at their hotel, The Palazzo…SUPER nice…I will let her tell you all about THAT.

We got to the spa 30 minutes early as requested. We signed in, charged the treatment to the room and were lead back into the most luxurious, high maintenance place I have ever been, where we were given our own slippers, full length soft thick bathrobe, a locker for each of us, a bath towel, razor, shower cap and everything you would ever need to take a hot steamy shower, our own vanity stocked with hair care products and facial products. We were then given the tour of the facility. Sauna, spray tan station, lounge with food and beverage and many other rooms that I am not sure what they were called or what they were used for. So Lyndsey and I went into the dressing rooms, got undressed and slipped into our bathrobes. We had about 20 minutes to kill so we ventured out to take in the full experience…well we had NO IDEA!!!

Upon my suggestion we headed straight to the sauna. Two steps into the sauna hallway is where I spotted him…Santa Clause standing NAKED then laying NAKED in the sauna. Not a stitch of clothes, towel, bathrobe on him…except his small little slippers still on his feet…like those were what needed to be covered?? I turned, grabbed Lyndz and we headed out of that room and into the lounge where everyone was wearing bathrobes. We sat down to relax and regain our composure when Lyndsey spotted the next one…a small Asian lady in a bathrobe that was completely open and her legs open as well. I would say 8-10 more naked people crossed our path that morning…they were like black cats that were cursing us with bad luck and the bad luck was coming in the form of UN-attractive NAKED people!

So my point in bringing up EVE…boy I would have eaten the fruit too…lets please discover that nakedness and COVER THAT STUFF UP!!!

Lyndsey and I had side by side massages…yep we got naked too…in the same room. I wanted to BOND with Lyndsey but this was a little much for a “First Date”. But our massages were fabulous, completely relaxing and oily! We had the much needed energy to head to lunch and then to the outlets for shopping!

It was a FUN and MEMORABLE day. I am glad that I have someone to share those memories with…someone with a contagious great laugh…so we can relive that experience and laugh about it always…together!...and NOT NAKED!

Thanks Lyndz and Bryan for a wonderful day! Love you guys! And YES I forgot my camera so I will have to steal some pictures from Lyndsey later!
