What Have I Been Up To?!



HOLY COW!!! I can't believe that I haven't blogged in 4 months!! I am so sorry! I get in those modes sometimes where I completely forget about my blog. I just looked through my camera, and that's how I know there's SOOOO much to update you on! AND there's pictures, which always makes posts better!! Hmmmm.. Where do I start?

Oh yes, the thing that is occupying ALL OF MY TIME is my new (or newer) job! I now work full time at HMHO, which is a law firm. It's a great job, just very demanding and takes up loads of my time. Why am I bringing that up? Oh yes, because the very first month I started working there, Nick and I won a one night stay in the cabins up at Sundance. IT. WAS. BEAUTIFUL!! Here are a few pictures of our cozy little cabin.


Then Christmas came!! Our very first Christmas together being married! It was so much fun. I didn't take any pictures of our decorations at our house or tree or anything, but I did take some pictures of Nick opening his presents. Don't ask why he has his shirt off, because I don't know why either!

                                     I got him some new cleats for Rugby! 
And those Jordan's Shorts for the 
"Christmas Eve Pajama Tradition."


A Rugby (All Blacks) Jersey!! 
He actually picked it out, 
and I just wrapped it for him.



These were my Christmas Jammies!! I love wearing sweats!! :)


Christmas isn't CHRISTMAS without visiting Temple Square! 
I love this!! Exactly one year before, 
we went here on one of our first dates!! 
Awe... How touching!?




Then of course, Nicks' birthday!! My old man turned 24 this year!! How crazy!! I made him some breakfast in bed (he wanted cereal... how boring.) And I added in a Bacon Maple Bar. It's as simple as it sounds.. You put bacon on a maple bar! It is delicious!! Don't knock it til you try it!



Then for dinner, I made him some a yummy crab dinner!
That's rare for me, seeing how I HATE sea food!!




And who in their right mind wants birthday pie instead of birthday cake?! 
Nick of course!! He likes to be different in any way he possibly can!!


And just a couple dates we've been on lately! We try to do one date a week, and we've been really successful at it. Even if it is just dinner and a movie at home! Which sometimes, that's all I am in the mood for.

 On our way to Beth's house for a fun group date!!


Two Jacks Pizza in Spanish Fork. 
If you haven't been there, GO ASAP!!! 
And order their Cheesesticks!!



Fudruckers, for my first time!! 
I absolutely loved it!! 
Dare I say... Even more than 
Red Robin!?



And last but not least, winter fun!! 
From Sledding, to Snowmobiling, to Night-boarding!! 
Couldn't have asked for a better winter! :)






Oops, I almost forgot!! 
I'd be a bad wife if I didn't show my husbands "hair progress" over the months!
Many of you may already know, he's growing dreads. 
It's been one of his goals all his life, so who would I be to 
keep him from fulfilling his goal..?

Here's a few pictures of his hair growth since our wedding (which is the last time he cut it).

(Garrett and Nicole's Wedding)
(Slowly getting longer in Hawaii)
(Just a picture looking like Coolio)
(We always have fun in our house!! 
Especially when Nick can do longer 
Pony Tails than I can!)   
(And now the next step... CORNROWS!
Guess who did those?
Yep, yours truly!!)

The End!! Hope you enjoyed!!
I will try to update sooner,
so you won't have to spend so long on my blog!!
