National Stock Show

Last night we went to the National Western Stock show. We saw all the top cowboys riding the bulls and broncs. We bought homemade Kettle corn, yummy! Our seats we're in the second row so we had really good seats.

Big Mac the Steer

This is Big Mac, a black angus steer. This cow is in my parent's backyard right now eating lots of food so it can get big. Then hopefully the cow will taste wonderful. My dad also has 5 more cows just waiting for people to buy, but they live out on my parent's ranch.

DATE NIGHT AT SOUTHLANDS

This weekend we went on a date to place called Southlands. Its basically an outdoor mall but they made it kind of like a little town in and of itself. It has an ice skating rink right in the middle and a movie theatre and a lot of cute stores. On the walkways there was music playing. We were going to go skating but it was to cold so we looked in stores instead. Nathan's company helped build alot of Southlands.

A tribute to my Sweetheart for his 26th BDAY!

Yesterday on the 6th of December was Nathan's birthday. I just wanted to share how much I love him and how thankful I am for him.

1. I am grateful for the worthy priesthood holder that he is and that he was able to take me to the temple and that he makes me try to be a better person everyday.
2. I am grateful for the provider that he is for our family and how he always tries to do his very best in everything that he does including church, family and work.
3. I am grateful for the friend that he is and always has been to me. He is my best friend now and forever.
4. I am grateful for the father that he will one day be and how excited he is for that day whenever it will be.
5. I am grateful that he wants to take care of me with all of my wonderful medical issues.
6. I am grateful for his family that made him into the person he is.
7. I am grateful that he knows how to be responsible for our finances because otherwise if it were up to me we would be broke.
8. I am grateful that he cooks when I don't want to and he puts up with me when I am being emotional. He also takes me to chick flicks every once in awhile.
9. I am grateful that Nathan supports me in everything that I want to do.
10. I am just so lucky for the husband that I married and for the friends that set us up, Thank you courtney and Justin!!

I could go on and on about how wonderful Nathan is but I just wanted to say what I am most grateful for.

For Nate's bday I decorated the house, like I always do. Then Saturday night we went to Anthony's Pizza and got some pizza than we went to a movie. Nathan got a basket of fun stuff from me and some camping boots. From his parents he got a new coat and from my parents he got some coveralls. He had a very good Bday!! We are going out to a steakhouse on Monday for Nate called the Saltgrass.

TWILIGHT!

Yes, Nathan and I went and saw the movie! I wasn't going to go until my Brother and sister in law came for xmas (I'll go again with you guys), but I just couldn't wait! I loved the movie, yes it wasn't as good as the book, but what movie is?? With a book you can add so much more detail. I am a huge fan of the books and I read all four in like a week, but the movie had a good way of bringing it to life. So I recommend the movie, just remember it will not be exactly like the book. I told Nathan he'll have to buy the movie for me when it comes out, and the ending totally shows that there will be another movie, yeah!

Disney Princess quiz

You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)

Thoughtful and loving. Authority figures probably have been sheltering you all of your life. Thankfully you're a very tranquil person who is content with what life has given you, but secretly you want to know how the outside world works.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Oh how we love NEW YORK!

Nathan, I and my family were able to go to New York this past week for 5 days! It was so much fun and a much needed vacation. We were able to stay with my brother and his family on Staten Island (he is attending NYU Dental school). It was fun to have a nice place to stay ( Thanks again Grant and Aleisha!). We would ride on the ferry everyday and we became regulars riding the New York Subway. After a couple of days it wasn't so confusing. I think the hardest thing was figuring out which way was North or East, you can't tell b/c the buildings are so high. We did lots of fun stuff. Instead of writing about it I'll just show the pictures. Sorry some the pictures are dark, it was overcast the whole time we were there.
