Other friends rock'n the married life

This past week my friend Erin Metcalf got married! Love it! She got married in the SLC Temple and her lovely man is named Joseph Davis.

One of Nic's best friends got married this past Saturday in Boise. His beautiful wife is named Jocelyn (I graduated with her) and his name is Troy. We're very happy for them also!!!

Congrats ya'll!!!!

Mmm Mmm Goooooooood.

So my day was going really crummy. REALLY REALLY REALLY crummy. It was just a really off day, so when I had to make ANOTHER errand for the day to the grocery store I decided that we (as in Nic and I) were going to have smores. Oh and they were delicious. My day immediately got better once Nic got off work and the smores topped it off! Nic and I both thought it was a great idea...glad I thought of it!

Uh....of course we were not roasting our marshmallows in our house while watching a movie...of course not!

Yessss all of our supplies. I bought the swirlmallows! Chocolate and Vanilla! mmm mmm goood.

Good job honey pie!

Our finished product and lick'n it! They were so tasty. I love smores.....

Marriage...it's sweet!

Okay okay...it's not just sweet when your husband buys you beautiful, pink flowers for your three month anniversary....but it really is pretty dang wonderful! I love being married. It has it's surprises and joys. I don't regret it one bit. I love Nic with all my heart....he's way to good to me!

Pretty huh?

Where are you summer?

Mr. Weather and Mr. Seasons need to get together and talk about what time of the year it really is. (yes, I just made up my own 'lil characters) For the past couple of weeks the weather has been so "back and forth and back and forth" I've decided that it really isn't June. It's still April. April showers bring my flowers....well guess what. We had the showers and the flowers now it's time for summer sunshine. All I have seen the past couple days has been this:


Tons and tons and tons of RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm look'n for this.........

Some beautiful sunshine. That's all. It's getting ridiculous here in Pocatello. The weather is so blah. So I am here to plead with everyone to please pray for some beautiful warm 78 degree weather.

Thank you.

The plans.

That's right. The plans. The life plan you have set up for yourself. I had mine. It was the best plan ever. I had everything set up from what I wanted, how I was going to do it, and what order it was going to take place in. But, as I have learned Heavenly Father has a greater plan. He has the over all plan for all of us and then a specific plan for each one. My specific plan didn't line up exactly and it has changed. Changed for the better. I did do a couple things in order. Graduated high school and went on a trip to DC with an amazing friend. Then I found an my amazing husband and moved to Pocatello. (that was not in my plan, but that's the "changed for the better") Yet, I still have a list of things I want to accomplish. My little dream things. Here they are, they're my goals, dreams, wishes, wants.....whatever you want to call 'em. I know we all have them and I believe as long as we are alive, we can still accomplish them. Some are a bigger deal than others...but I want each of them.

Here is one of my dreams. Yes, it is like a lot of people but it is definitely on top of my list. I want to have a family. I love kids so much. I worked for about 3 years with other peoples kids....I definitely want my own now. (not as in...right this second, but I am ready for one now. haha)

My second ambition is to be a cosmetologist. I'm starting school this fall and I am very excited about it! I don't need to be a super famous, yes I do so and so's hair. Mine is to have my very own salon.

Next up is a home. Not a house where Nic and I live day to day but a home. I want it to have nice landscaping. I want to have neighbors but I don't want to touch their house. And I want to design it so I don't hate it.

Next up is what this picture depicts. I want to make a cookbook. Not only do I want to have recipes from those I love....but I want to make up my own. Yes, I want to be able to cook well enough that I don't use measuring spoons like Rachel Ray and I want to have them memorized like Nic has his own No Bake cookies recipe memorized.

I want to be a photographer. Hand down. I want them to look super nice. I want to help people capture a moment in time that they would otherwise forget. I want to catch that smile that they don't realize they do.....so they can laugh about it later.

And this is my number one. All of the above I definitely want on the side of my life....but this is the dream I have had for the longest time. Of course kids fall into this picture....but all the other dreams I have obtained growing up. I didn't always know I wanted to go to cosmetology school at ISU.....or that I wanted to photograph someones dreams. Being a mom is what it's all about. I'm grateful for the many woman in my life, especially my mom and grandma fielding. This is my biggest dream and I'm so excited about it.

Cuddle Season closed till Fall

So I'm odd...but I love love love to look at other peoples blogs. I found a random one the other day and the reason i looked at it was because of the title and it was "cuddle season closed till fall." I thought, that's dumb. Nic and I always cuddle...but as I read on I totally understood and agree! it's all true!
This is what this wife had to say:

Just a note to alert those of you out there who have spouses who hate to cuddle in "the warmth"....it is the closing of the CUDDLE SEASON! With the 85 degree weather, it is time to bring the season to an end. You may know it is the end of Cuddle Season IF:
Your spouse requires that the comforter comes off the bed so it is just the sheets
Your spouse requires the use of the ceiling fan every night
Your spouse requires that the bedroom windows be open all night

So, we don't have a ceiling fan...but we bought a fan. Yes, it is hot. But one night it was FREEZING!!!!! So so cold I thought i was going to have frost bite. Nic has been so hot lately to the point of sweating so much at night he ends up in the living room. So I did suggest we have the fan in the room. Well he opened the window slightly and put the fan up by the window.....I thought it was a good idea until I woke up at 5:45 to get up for work and I had to run. Yes RUN out of the room because of how freezing cold the room was. (I'm laughing as I type) So I get partially ready and it's 6:00, time to wake up Nic. I am dreading going into the room because I just know how cold it is. I slightly open the door, grab my robe , put it on, THEN go in the room. So I woke him up fast and left. He only got a few kisses for that wake up. He then comes out and I explain to him how freezing cold it was and so forth. Its then time for me to go to work and Nic heads back into the room and screams "IT'S FREEZING IN HERE!" All I did was laugh and said I told ya so!
So what I guess I am trying to say is....cuddling season is over unless you freeze the room out so you have to cuddle to get more body heat. The end.

You should go and count some blessings....

Yes. After this post you should go and count your blessings. The little ones. Not the everyday, "i realize i have a nice bed to sleep in and food to eat" but the little ones. So the little blessing that I would like to tell about is this....


Yes, this is what you think it is. A dishwasher. Having a dishwasher is the most amazing thing to have.
Before Nic and I got married neither of us thought it would be a big deal to wash our dishes by hand. We figured, 2 of each of these things: cups, plates, forks, spoons and knives. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Yeah right. You have the pans and the utensils to stir what's in the pans and then you have the cutting board, the 3 other cups from the other day and so forth. WASHING DISHES IS THE WORST!!!!
I hate it so much. But, then one day we got a glorious call from my parents. It was a Saturday, it was Nic's day off and I got off work at 3. Nic came and picked me up and said that I needed to call my mom. He said she was really excited on the phone and he couldn't tell me because she wanted to tell me herself. So, me being excited and having no clue what to expect, I called my mom immediately. This was her glorious news. She had gotten a dishwasher at a garage sale, they had never used it before and just wanted to get rid of it. They weren't sure if it worked or not but it was for sale. They sold it to my parents for.....(drum roll please).............$10!!!!!!!!


TEN DOLLARS?! WHAT!?


No rust. No problems. Noth'n! Works amazing! It even still had the original soap that it came with when whoever bought it all ready to go. My mom (and me) have NEVER got such a great deal before. Garage sales are amazing. Oh and to mention she wasn't even out look'n around at sales.....she saw it out of the corner of her eye and thought they should go look at it.
Now isn't this a blessing? You better believe it! Nic and I tried it out last night for our very first time. We were sooooooooooo happy. We love love love having a dishwasher. It probably seems like such a silly little thing. But it is such a great blessing to us.
I also have to mention the other added bonus. It has a wooden counter on top. This is also a blessing. We have the smallest counter space I have ever seen.....and so the fact now that I have more counter space and a place to put my kitchen aid is just wonderful!
The Lord has truly been look'n out for Nic and I and we are so grateful for this little invention. Thanks mom and dad for spending $10 on us. The best $10 spent. :D Love you!

This is my little section of counter space.....

And now we have so much more! I love it! Thanks again mom and dad!

The unexpected Mothers Day

So lately I have been slack'n. I TOTALLY forgot to blog about Mothers Day. My very first one....so ya'll need to hear about it! Nic totally surprised me and he even set up the whole thing to make me think that I didn't get to celebrate Mothers Day. The story is as follows....

One day I realized that MD was coming up and I stated to Nic that I was so excited for once about MD because I never got to celebrate it. Nic then said that I didn't get to celebrate MD. I wasn't mother, we don't have any kids. I'm pretty sure my jaw just dropped to the floor and I had to pick it up because I was so SHOCKED! What! I don't get to celebrate MD. I got over it and didn't even think about it again. Mothers day then rolled around and while we were sitting in church the speakers got up and started to speak about mothers. So I suddenly realized that it was MD and Nic and I wondered if they would pass something out to the mothers at the end of sacrament meeting like they did in our home wards. They did. It was a tomato plant and Nic was all like,

"aren't you going to get one"

Me: "No why, I'm not a mother!"

Nic: " Okay.."

So we went into the primary room and they also came in there to make sure every mother got one. They realized I didn't get one so I went ahead a took one. Then during primary they passed out a piece of candy and a lemon bar. (even the guys got them....i was confused) So during all of this I thought it was cool that even though I wasn't a mom with a child, I still got stuff. YESSS! So church is then over and Nic had already headed out to the car and I got out there and what was on my seat......

A GIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was surprised and happy....but really really really confused.

He had told me that I wasn't a mother so that I wouldn't expect a gift! And not only did he get me a gift, he got me and expensive pair of shoes for work. What a bum.

We also finished off the day with Nic mak'n me his delicious enchiladas!

When fathers day rolls around ya'll better expect a post on what I got him!
