Christmas Crafting

Every year I make a new ornament with something significant from that year that we will always remember. I've been putting it off because I couldn't think of anything small to put in the ornament. Although we did do some fun things this year... not a whole lot of them are easy to fit inside. But I think i figured it out! This year we got Keela... so I put some of her hair in it. And some ribbon from when Casey came to visit. Then I just write on it dates and things that we want to remember. So far we have 5. One that says all of our names... and one for each year we are together. Even though we were married in 2007... I made one for 2006 because that's when we met and I put things in it from my college and the MLM for each of us. I think they are cute and I can't wait til our whole tree is filled with them on our 50th anniversary!

Christmas Came Early! ( for me)

So I have wanted a new camera for a while and Nate has been wanting to get me a nice one since I've been learning Photoshop and am obsessed with taking pictures. I figured I would have one under the tree...( which we don't have up yet, shame on me)... but I never expected to come home from a long and busy day from work to see a Nikon D3000 sitting on my kitchen table! What a great gift to come home to! I can't stop taking pictures and learning my new obsession! I am going to take a few classes (came with the camera), and also take some up on campus as soon as possible. Hopefully now I will post more pictures more often. It is the best gift ever, and just shows how much he loves and listens to me. Thanks love! (now... what to get him!?) Haha. I haven't even started shopping for him. Guess I better get on it. This past week I was really sick... so this makes up for all we went through this week.




Dear Joy,

You are amazing! I love, love, LOVE the soup you made for us! It was phenomenal! Ummm... I make a pretty good meatloaf... if I make that and you make that soup again... can we trade! Haha. Although my meatloaf is probably a fraction of the worth of your cooking! I can't wait til we can get together again soon and play Monopoly and hot tub, Yay! Oh and we have to do crafts and knit! LOL. K well just wanted to tell you how much we appreciate you! Talk to you soon!

Beautiful Fall!

So we have a huge yard... and hate when all the leaves fall. It takes a few days just to rake it all up. But i love the colors so I took our dogs out to play in it after i had gathered them and they loved it! So I took a few pictures so you could see how big they are getting.

☠October ツ

These past couple of weeks have been great! We have been working hard, playing hard and still finding time to relax as well! We just recently went to Olive's blessing down in G-ville. It was so wonderful and we loved seeing Olive! She is so cute and we are so happy for Bill and Melissa! We love you guys so much and only wish the best for your new little family! Have a great time in St. George and we'll see you when you get back. Can't wait to spend the weekend with ya soon! :) We just got back from a fun trip to the movies with a couple of friends and now i can' t sleep. Haha. We are loving spending time together and we're definitely feeling the holiday spirit. We are staying home for the holidays but planning on going to Michigan sometime right after the new year!

My favorite time of the year!!

I am so excited it's fall! This is my favorite time of the year. We just got out our fall decorations and are starting to put out our Halloween decorations and I love it! The only thing bad about fall is the leaves falling... cause we have such a big yard that it usually takes forever to clean up the leaves. But we got smart and invested in a leaf blower so now i am not so worried. So my new job at Kiddie Kandids is going good. Although it's sometimes hard... it's also a lot of fun. Nate has been real busy at work. He works so much and I appreciate him soo much! Thanks babe:) I love you. We just celebrated our 2 year anniversary on the 15th of September and it was wonderful! Our best friends, Bill and Melissa, just had a baby. They named her Olive Lottie... and we are sooo happy for them! They came up to Logan for the weekend and I got to take her pictures at work. They were so cute and i enjoyed every minute of them being here! (hint hint... you guys need to come back up!) LOL. We are heading down to Grantsville next weekend to attend her baby blessing. We can't wait to see little Olive again! Well my sister is back home :( She was here for two weeks and I miss her so much. We had so much fun while she was here. We went shooting ( it was her first time shooting a gun!) and she liked it, we went and explored the Logan Canyon and that was fun, and she got to ride on the Harley a few times. We are planning a trip to Michigan for after the new year. Can't wait to see my family!

August.... what a great month!

This past weekend my sister Casey flew in from Michigan! I am so happy she's here! She will be staying about a week. We are trying to fit everything in that we can. With me starting my new job, it's hard cause I have to be there too. But at least it's not for very long. We are having a blast! I started my new job last week at Kiddie Kandids and couldn't be happier! It's a great job and lots of fun! So come see me!

Casey is coming! Yay

So not much has changed for us lately. Our South Dakota trip is postponed for a little later time and although we are sad that we can’t make it to Sturgis… there is always next year! Since we plan on taking the Harley up there next year we are super excited! It can’t come soon enough! The downer though is that I will have to wait a year to see my family but we plan on staying for a while when we do go so that’s good. Soon my little sister Casey will be flying down here from Michigan to spend time with Nate and I. I am so excited! I haven’t seen her since I went to Michigan in March.She just turned 16 and my mom bought her a ticket for her birthday. Since school is starting soon for her, she can only stay a week but I think it will be a blast!
