Nuttall Family: New Years Resolutions

New Years Resolutions

I haven't spent a whole lot of time thinking about resolutions this year! There are a couple of things that I would like to work on and get done but with school being as crazy as it's going to be this summer I'm not worried about getting to them until summer.

One thing I have decided that I can do to hopefully make my life as well as my families life better is to not worry about the future so much. Nate and I are always talking about the future and all the things we want to accomplish and have and all the things that we look forward to years down the road. We spend so much time worrying about tomorrow. Instead of enjoying today we are always wishing it away. Sure, these aren't the most ideal times. We are super busy, poor Braxton spends more time with Grandma's and Aunts than he does with his mom and dad but these days are shaping our future. There is still good times to be had, fun moments to share and memories to make. Sure, I want school to be over for both Nate and I, I want us to progress in our careers but by the time that comes by little guy will be 3 and my baby will be 1. They will both be so big and if I wish it all away I will have missed out on a lot of exciting milestones as well as teaching and learning moments!

The other thing I want to work on now is to better prioritize my time making more time available for my family. Last semester I had a hard time with this one. I would get so overwhelmed and not work on things when I should have and my family, home and school work all ended up paying of it. I want to be better about doing school stuff when I'm alone, at lunch breaks or breaks I have between work and school leaving more time for my family when I am with them instead of school stuff. I want to spend more time getting down on the floor and playing with Braxton, more down time with my hubby and much much more needed time on my poor house and being better at just keeping it straightened. I'm not so worried about the deep cleaning of rooms at this moment but keeping floors and tables clear would be lovley!

I know if we can enjoy today and have more quality time together we will be so much happier and hopefully things will go a lot more smoothly at the Nuttall home this year!

Our Love Story....

Nate and I met back in 2004 when I asked him to my shcool's Halloween Dance and I guess I impressed him a little more than I thought I would. We went through a lot during our dating years but we were somehow always able to get through everything and knew we always would. Nate Proposed to me on November 17, 2007 at the Roof Restraunt and I was shocked. Definately not expecting it that night. We were sealed for time and all eternity almost 4 months later on March 13, 2008. We couldn't have picked a better day. We were one of only 8 other couples there that day so we had a lot of time and I got treated like a princess! Everone was so nice! It rained quite a bit during our pictures and reception and it was pretty cold outside but I was told that rain on your wedding day is good luck! That was the best day of our lives up to this point!

I realized just after our first anniversary that people weren't kidding when they said the first year is the hardest! It definitley wasn't easy but we learned so much about each other and ourselves that it was also a great year! We got our first house in October 2008 and Nate surprised me with our first little one, Chloee a golden lab, on Christmas Day 2008. We had a lot happen our first year of marriage and knew that the years to come would bring more happenings.

We just celebrated our second anniversary. Who would have thought that our second year of marriage would have brought what it did! We were blessed with our first child, a healthy beautiful baby boy, on February 26, 2010. The day he was born was the second best day of our lives! He has already brought so much joy to our lives in the little time that we have had him.
