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:)

It GREW!!

For my sunbeams class on sunday the lesson was about trees, plants and flowers and how Heavenly Father created them. Since they are sunbeams and have a very short attention span and don't really sit through anything.. i planned a couple of fun activities. We planted lil' seeds into cups and went down the hall to water them. Since flowers don't grow in the blink of an eye, I cut out paper flowers and little circles to glue into the center and got a straw that we would tape them too so they could stick into inside their cup so they would have a flower to look at. :) The kids loved it and it was alot of fun. Nate decided when he stopped by to see if i still had my sanity that we should plant one too. If ours could grow anyones can and look!!!

Winter Fun..

Nate's 22 Birthday :) this year for Nate's birthday we had a couple close friends and family over and we made homemade pizza and played Canasta it was exactly what he asked for :) And i made his BIRTHDAY CAKE

We went Shot Gun Shooting one saturday this winter. Nate thought it was ironic that my dad owns a company that builds and designs shooting ranged but yet i have never shot a gun before... soooo he changed that. Funny thing is we have no picture evidence of me ever shooting the gun or being there at all actually ;)


We made a SNOWMAN! it's definately a Nate snowman notice the eyes and the nose ect. you'll understand. Building a snowman was not as easy as i remember it being when i was little the ones i remembered making were nice and round and the one kinda struggled... but it was still fun
These are some of the fun little events we've been up to this winter.

Taxes!

Taxes are WONDERFUL okay okay tax RETURNS are wonderful. We were able to do great things with our tax return this year we were starting to get behind on bills and our now ahead and saving more a month. We were able to get new TIRES for Nate's truck we he loves <3 We baught a Wii with Mario Party 8 to go with it. ( we love that game) and best of all Nate got me a DIAMOND RING :) diamonds are a girls best friend. Besides her husband that is ;)
