Our 1st Christmas

It was our first Christmas and we had so much fun. This included matching PJs and socks from my mom and the warm weather in St. George. We had a great time going to movies, dinner and playing lots of card games. Nate also had a blast 4 wheeling will a bunch of his old buddies!!

Nate really wasn't on Santa's naughty list, but he does like to peak at all his gifts. Now I know that I have to either wrap his gifts right away or hide them REALLY WELL. For example I got Nate some new shoes and hid them under the bed thinking that since we no little kids it would be a good enough spot, but I was wrong. Nate found the box, but didn't look inside. So I took the shoes and wrapped each of them in a separate and completely different shaped box. When he opened one he just laughed. Now I know that when it comes to presents in the house, Nate becomes a little boy.

I absolutely LOVE chocolate covered pretzels and so what happened to be in my stocking.... LOADS of them!!!!!!

This is one of Nate's favorite new toys. It is a HUGE remote.

Early Christmas Present

This past weekend my parents brought down our Christmas gifts for us to put under the tree. One for Nate was quite LARGE and so we decided to let the little boy of a husband I have open one early because he has been a pretty good boy this year. Thanks to mom and dad for this. It is his favorite place to sit now. My mom also made this other gift for us. It might come in handy sometimes......

Gradutaion

Finally after 5 long years and a 6 month break to go work in Florida, I graduated from Utah State University. Whooo!!!! Now I get to join the rest of you in the real world as I pursue a career in Cardiac Rehab.

Well Nate and I have started to decorate our little home in between studying for finals and all the other everyday tasks. Let me remind you that this is a work in progress and we will post more when we get it done next week when finals will be done! YA!!!!!!!

This is Nate's favorite job every night, unplugging the lights from way back behind the bookcase.
