Just Girls!

so i was browsing through my mom's pictures on her computer and came across this one... wow this was forever ago! I was in 9th grade and megan was in 5th! sheesh we were little wee ones! this was Megans first girls camp! crazy how fast time flies! i just had to post it cuz I was shocked at how little I look!

WAIT your 25?

so Nate turned the big 25 on Sunday! it was such a fun day and he was so very spoiled!!! we celebrated on Saturday and Sunday! so Saturday me and Nate went and saw Madagascar 2... p.s it was lame. then Nate was surprised by 21 friends at wingers for dinner and then after dinner the crew followed us to our house where we had Banana Cream pie and played Mafia, it was a fun night. then Nate kicked off his actual birthday bu opening all his presents from me at 1 in the morning on November 9Th (Sunday). then Sunday i surprised him with breakfast in bed and a fine tune of happy birthday with a little sausage, bacon and eggs. then we stayed home and watched football, and big daddy. to end the day we went up to my mom and dads house and ate Nate's favorite, homemade egg rolls and lettuce wraps and rice.... and of course more banana cream pie. I cant believe he is 25, He is such a great guy. I'm so grateful he is my husband! i love him so much and i am grateful for him everyday! he is my best friend and I'm so lucky to get to have forever with him! HAPPY 25Th Nathan

6 months already?

Sheesh time sure does fly! my brother has already been out 6 months! can you believe it? ya me either! he is doing so good! right now he is in Peru, they told him he will be there till atleast December. In December they will check with Bolivia and do a huge evaluation and see if it is safe enough to return. but for now he is working his tail off in Peru and loving every second of serving the Lord! we sure love him and miss him!

me, Nate and Jesse at the MTC! what a bitter sweet day! the MTC sure rips your heart out

we carved this pumpkin in honor of jesse :) too bad he wont get these pictures till christmas, at least its the thought that counts right?

WAHOOO for PERU!!!!

PuMPkIn FrEnZY

my little brother, a born artist, he is incredible! he free handed this and thought of this all himself

my cute dad, he carves the same thing every year and it never gets old... its a skier with goggles

and my great mom, she is so fun and her pumpkin is too. she just uses a drill and puts holes all over... also a classic that never gets old

ha ha ha and this picture says it all! my sisters pumpkin is "love sick"

and here is the masterpiece of them all. my candy corn pumpkin, simple and easy and so cute i might add. Nate is out of town and so I painted this one for me and him. Miss you Nate!

PLEASE COME HOME!!!

so Nate has been out of town all week and its getting to the "okay this is getting old and really really sucky" stage. he really should just come home now! and the crazy thing is lucky him he leaves again monday for another week... NOT FUN!!! i miss him so much when he is gone. i guess it makes you appreciate him more though... what can you do right? so Nate if you read this while your out of town... COME HOME NOW

Bad Idea!

So i thought I had a brilliant idea, I decided on Saturday night we should go to a haunted house. so Me and Nate called Sam and Jami to join us. we went to Haunted Hallow in Ogden. I was scared to freakin death! the Chain saw man was the WORST thing ever! I just kept screaming! it was like I would get it under control and then he would start sawing at me again and I would start screaming again, and Nate wont admit it but he was scared too. Sam and Jami just laughed at us! so Long story short my good idea turned out to be a terrible idea... the worst idea EVER!!! After the haunted house me and Nate went to go to sleep and I was terrified, Nate had to keep reminding me that it was not real.... and to top it all off the dog started barking, so of course i start wondering who is in my house (because puppies dont have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night...PSYCH!!!) anyways, WORST idea ever!!!

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

so of course its football season and of course Nate and I 100% support LHS!!! so the last two friday nights we've visited our old stomping grounds of Layton High to cheer on the football team, and might i say a lot of cheering we did! Both games were awesome but especially last nights. Layton played the dreaded Northridge and they are ranked #2 in the state... but dont you even worry... LANCERS WIN!!!!!!!

GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!

so... wonderful news!!!! Me and Nate have been playing on a co-ed soccer team with a bunch of friends. it is so fun. Nate plays goalie and rocks at it! we have had some pretty heated games that have gotten out of control the last few weeks, for example last week nate got a red card after the game was over!! silly boy! and the game before that was called like 10 minutes early due to some slapping, tackeling and fighting but last night was our last game of the season and it was a good friendly game and Ladies and Gentlemen the best news of the night... I SCORED!!! finally i got a goal. i was pretty pumped. when we got in the car Nate said i did so good that he'd buy me an ice cream cone! WOO WOO! but i owe my sweet goal to Nick for the awesome set up. so thanks nick!

what a week

well what a week. Its finally Friday and I have the day off and can catch up on life. This week we had some amazing experiances and amazing accomplishments and and no sleep. first off, last Saturday we got a call from the Salt Lake Mission office informing us that my brother Jesse is being evacuated from bolivia because of the Political unrest. I guess its pretty bad, on Saturday 35 people were killed and then on Monday another 18. pretty scarry! but Jesse was evacuated and is now serving in the Peru east mission. he was told that he will probably not be returning to Bolivia any time soon. but Wednesday we got a call from him and he is happy, healthy and safe. he is serving his heart out and loves the people! we sure miss him but wouldnt want him any where else! well second letter of business, our little puppy Maverick can now go up and down the stairs! WITHOUT WHINNING TOO!!!! he is such a funny dog! some mornings a wanna put him up for sale. like last night he woke up at 3:00 am barking. so i get up took him to the bathroom. well long story short... i was up from 3-5 am with a barking dog. oh and nate sleeps through it all! LUCKY GUY! i decided i should have had a baby instead, atleast with a baby you can take them places and put a diaper on them :) so thats where our no sleep week comes into play! what a week but thank goodness its friday!!

WOW time sure does FLY!

so on August 15th me and Nate celebrated 2 years married! the best two years of my life! its crazy how fast the time flies! i cant even believe it. we had such a fun day! and the craziest thing of all... Nate suprised me with a puppy! he is a little shih tzu and we named him Maverick. Nate thinks the name Frankinstien would have been better, but if you know Nate he loves any name that you can get a laugh out of. he is only 7 weeks old and has to chew on everything and of course pee too! but what can you expect. i'll post some pictures one day

okay so i'm barely getting the hang of this whole posting thing so i'm just finding fun pictures of me and Nate in the past and figuring out his whole posting world!

well, another second to breath so i decided to post. Lately me and Nate run from one thing to the next. i just started a new job and Nate is still working his butt off at Twin D. we love life and each other and couldnt ask for anything more!

hey why not?

After a lot of peer pressure and finally a little extra time here we are blogging away. so be patient with me, i'm first off a computer idiot and to add to that i'm new at this whole blogging world. but hey welcome to my new blog
