Chase and I stayed in the new Overton Hotel in Lubbock for our anniversary…

We would it give the hotel a pretty good review: the room was nice, the staff was friendly, the view was great (well as great as a Lubbock view can be!)… however there was NO bathtub! For those of you that don’t know, Chase and I only have a standing shower at our house and I LOVE bubble baths, so whenever we stay somewhere else I always want to take a bath… when Chase saw the room he realized there was no bathtub… he went and asked the front desk if we could move, but there were no other available rooms… he tried & felt really bad about and I ended up surviving without it- ha. They also do not have pay per-view movies… which seemed strange to me.

The restaurant however was a different story- we gave it a fair review with the potential to be great… for starters there was no advertisement of the hotel restaurant in the hotel room- we had to call the front desk to know where it was- the atmosphere of the restaurant was great & could be a really popular place- we just think they need better advertising. The food was ok, but we did go at like 9:00pm, so we will give it another try. Sorry for my long review on the hotel and restaurant- not sure if it is because this is what I got my degree in or if Chase and I just love critiquing (in a good way) places we visit… anyway there is our two-sences about it.

All in all we had a GREAT time… it is always relaxing to just get away from the house full of laundry, dirty dishes and just be together with no distractions. Thanks babe for a lovely evening- I love you!

Chase bought me a super cute dress & apron and I bought him a hydration pack! Our tradition (2 years now) is to have red velvet cake on our anniversary- I wanted to make it from scratch, but ran out of time so we picked up some not-so-tasty slices from Market Street! I intend to make one from scratch soon…
