He'll soon be a cougar

Nate just found out he will be attending BYU this coming January! Although I really like the UVU, I have to admit most degrees look better coming from BYU and because Nate's dad works there he gets half tuition!! So I think we are most excited about that since school is so expensive. Nate has worked really hard at UVU and pulled off some amazing grades and I know he will do awesome at BYU. He'll soon be a cougar...

The Bro's Wedding

So we have been so busy lately, it's crazy. Last Friday we had family pictures and Jenny's(sis-in-law) bridal shower in the day and then we had a big barbecue with Jenny's family and my family at my parents house. It was really fun and nice to meet Jenny's family, they are from California. Then they got married on Saturday and had a dinner and a reception up Provo Canyon, it was beautiful! The whole day was really great and of course fun to see lots of people.

The Girls at the temple

Nate and I at the reception.This past week I finished up with Math 1050 through BYU and then started at UVU the next day. My schedule is really crazy and Nate and I will only be home at night with each other once a week, so that stinks. It is a big semester for me, I'm taking 15 credits and the classes are all really important that I do well in them. I'm also doing my last big bike ride tomorrow, 67 miles. It should be fun! Anyways, that is our life right now!

i miss

i miss you vacation and hubby. haven't really seen you this week..

tahoe

Nate and I were lucky enough to go on vacation with his family. We stayed in Lake tahoe and grass valley and took a day trip to San fran. It was a lot of fun and we were doing things non-stop. I have to say my highlight of the trip was being able to see the kids I nannied. After spending a year of my life with them I still think about them all the time and really just love the family.

ulcer 2009

Well we did it! The ulcer was amazing. I had such an awesome time. I got a flat on mile 6 which was definitely a little discouraging and added to my time, and we dealt with some insane wind on the back of the lake. But no complaining here. I really loved riding in groups and talking to other bikers, plus I usually don't get competitive with biking but I sure did with this. I love that feeling. I plan on signing up for this year after year. Finishing the 111 miles was such an awesome feeling! As you can see I was pumped crossing the finish line.
Here are the three of us, my mom(yes she's over 50 and amazing), sadie, and me.

Here's what i'll be doing tomorrow...

Good ol biking for 6-8hrs. Hopefully not longer. ha Tomorrow is the ulcer, 111 miles on my bike. I'm a little nervous but I think it will be really fun! Hopefully no rain or strong winds or it could make out for a nasty ride. Wish me luck!

vegas...

When we go to Vegas we just go to spend time with family. We pretty much avoid the strip entirely. Pretty hard to avoid the casinos when you stay in a hotel though. We went down for my little niece's blessing. I should of got a close-up pic of her in her dress because it was gorgeous, her mom made it. Anyways we had a fun time and I couldn't get enough of her.
