"Future" Fathers Day

For Nate,

       I know you aren't a father yet but I wanted to take a moment to tell you how excited I am that I GET to be the mother of your children and how grateful I am that they get to have a father like you! The truest HAPPINESS in life is shared with the ones you LOVE and in our life together you will give me a lifetime of SMILES, LAUGHTER, TRUST and TENDERNESS and more happy MEMORIES than i can even begin to count. You'll always be the most important person to me because you'll always be the ONE I LOVE.

                       Forever yours.. Katelyn

Strawberry Days

This weekend in Pleasant Grove was Strawberry Days it includes a Carnival, Parade and of coarse a RODEO. Nate and I had a blast! Nate got home from school early since it was test day so we headed over to the carnival and he won me a cute little monkey. Friday we got to borrow Nate's old bike from Clark so we took a long bike ride and rode a couple rides at the carnival but mostly just drove the bike around.. wow i miss that bike!! Saturday we took Nate's brothers to the rodeo with us we had a blast Nate and I LOVE the Rodeo! 

Denver

This weekend Nate's good friend was getting married in Denver so we thought we would take a little weekend get away and drive out there. Little did we know it would be raining the ENTIRE time. The drive took longer than expected because of the HUGE amount of rain, that basically didn't ever stop down pouring on us. Well and the fact that the drivers from Colorado have no concept of the purpose of the left lane....Besides the obvious set backs Nate and I had some good laughs. We played the tunnel game where you have to hold your breathe the entire time you are inside a tunnel.. Yea Nate's a little cheater pants!! He would purposely try and make me lose! One tunnel was REALLY long and he could tell that he wasn't going to make it so he stepped on the gas harder and I couldn't help but laugh!! Pretty sure by the end of the drive Nate and I were starting to see things because we swear we thought we were seeing a lake but the closer we got we realized that it was a giant blue building.. wow I guess you would of had to of been there... To end our trip we have both decided that neither of us would ever want to live in Colorado or Wyoming.. Utah may be better than we thought after all.

Lake Powell 2010

Lake Powell was amazing it was SUPER hot... unlike here.. Nate and I spent plenty of time doing fun water activities. WaveRunning, Tubing, Swimming, Nate did some WakeBoarding. We played lots of cards with the family which is always fun cause Nate and I win :) Nate did alot of driving around the boat while Madi Lola and Natalie tubed behind us they were pretty fun to watch. I didn't lay out nearly as much as I usually do which was shocking... but all in all I was sad to leave the sun and come home to the not warm weather here in Orem but I am excited to start hanging up pictures around my house since they finally arrived :D Gotta love DIY projects :) 

Our House

For those of you who don't already know yes we got a house and we are totally completely in love with it :) Kinda funny story we weren't exactly ready to start looking but last thursday while i was at work Nate texted me saying that he had found this cute little house with a yard that would be perfect for us we didnt know if it was going to be in our price range but we thought we would go take a look. Our landlord luckily was at the house and let us come in and look around we were VERY interested. We filled out an application and he got back to us the next day letting us know it was ours we moved in that monday!! So in one short weekend we saw it, got it, and our now living in it. Packing isn't exactly my activity thankfully it wasn't a long process we are already completely moved out of our apartment and fully unpacked in our new house :) Here are some pics..

I was going to add pictures of the inside but since i've already added a bunch and this post will  be huge i figured when i finish all my decorarting plans i will compare the two on here :)

Our First Year

A year ago today at about 5:30 i got a text from Nate. We went on OUR FIRST DATE that night. Who would have thought that date would have lead to all of this... :D

I never knew how much you could honestly love someone until Nate showed me. I can't believe the person i strive to be because of him. He is my best friend and my eternal companion what girl could ever ask for more?  

Nate's Surgery

So because of some stupid little thing the doctor called "mass", Nate's hand has hurt for the last year and became almost impossible to work. So we decided to take him in and get his hand checked out. The doctor told us he had to have surgery to remove this "mass". Nate had his surgery last monday. Crazy thing is he complains more about his hand now then before:)

Hopefully it will heal fast:)
