Home Sweet Home

Since the 'U' has their Spring Break this week we decided to take advantage a little and go out to dinner together as a family. We haven't been able to do that on a week night for so long! Brax and I met Nate at TGI Fridays by South Town Mall unfortunately a little while after By the time Brax and I got there Nate had already gotten us a table so we headed inside to find him. As I sat down Nate set two bags on the table and said "thank you for everything." It was so sweet. He had gone over to the mall while he was waiting for us and got me some shirts from Aeropostale and Abercrombie and Fitch. What a stud! Then a little into our meal he said "Do you know why we're celebrating tonight?" I was so confused. I didn't know we were celebrating anything and I felt horrible. I quickly ran some days through my mind

- our anniversary isn't for a while
- our first date was in October but not until Halloween
- our first kiss was in March
- we got engaged the middle of November

I was completely clueless and I felt horrible about it. Nate gave me a hard time about it for a little bit and then said "we got our house two years ago today! I can't believe you forgot!" Oh my goodness, I HAD totally forgotten! To give me some credit I actually had thought about it about a week before. I knew that it was sometime the middle of October and I meant to look through our paperwork to find out the exact day - and then never did!

I can't believe it has been two years - but even more, I can't believe all that we have been able to accomplish the last two years. We redid a our entry way, kitchen/dining room, all 3 bathrooms and our laundry room floors when we first moved in. We put in the front and back yard, "painted" our garage floor, got a puppy, and had a child. All of that on top of all the little things that we have been able to do, learn, and experience. We are blessed with such awesome neighbors and have a wonderful ward! One scary thing about buying a house is that you can't pick your neighbors and we definitely lucked out!

Nate ended up admitting later that night that the only reason he remembered that special day was because our awesome Realtor had sent him an e-mail reminding us and checking up on us!! What a stinker~

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.
