I'm back!

I haven't blogged in so long. I've been busy, real busy and lazy. But here I am! There is a lot to go through and so this will be a random post. For a quick update, Nic is still working at CarQuest. If anyone knows of a better paying, better boss, better everything overall please let us know...that is if it's in Pocatello. At the end of August I started Cosmo school. I'm loving it. I'm attending it at ISU and Nic will be starting school in January...hopefully. Nic puts up very well with all my talk about it and how much I love what I'm learning.

We have both had birthdays. Mine was September 4th and Nic's was November 5th. We enjoyed celebrating those, (pictures to come) For my birthday we ended up going up to the Boise area and had a fun weekend of camping with some Nic's family. We had tons of delicious food including peach and cherry colber for my birthday. We roasted mellows and told stories around the fire. Went fishing, or well we watched Matt fish, Nic shot/killed a chimpmunk, went on a short hike, found a hot springs and over all enjoyed each others company. Later that weekend we also went Mini Golfing with some of my family. Very fun birthday weekend.








Oh, and the saturday before my birthday I sliced open one of my toes and got to get 3 stiches! It was our very first trip as a married couple to the emergency room! :D We now are paying our first medical bills and will not be going to the ER again because of how dang expensive it is! Then a week later Nic's eye began to swell up...awesome. Didn't go to a doctor because he refeused, it is fine now but it always makes me wonder what happend! (Around this time, but before the puffy eye, he got liquid glass in one of his eyes...i know, such a safe husband I have!)
Thats my toe with the stiches...sorry its really blurry!


Now for some leisure activities we do. We've been watching lots of movies, we enjoy doing this a lot. Redbox is our new best friend, practically family. We also have gone bowling, once only since we've been here. We do need to go more often though. We're both pretttttty rusty.






Oh, and Nic was never able to get my birthday cake made before we went out of town so in the middle of the month I got my cake! :D mmmmm it was good! Thanks honey!

Another fun activity that we did, (this one was in Oct) we went black light mini golf'n here in poci with our friends Jordon and Joann. This was fun and it was good to mix our daily routine date nights up! Woooo hoo!


Halloween is almost here! I made a craft that hung on our door outside. I had to paint it, learned how to rub on those letters and Nic did all the wiring for me! I got it done just in time to hang it up for 2 whole days. haha. Also for fun this year, oh i forgot to mention. Side story - Nic and I teach one of the 5 year old classes in primary! We love love love our class so much! Its definetly taught me that it is hard to teach little kids basic principles of the gospel...especially if its there first time hearing about it. Try to teach them about fasting. oh geez. That was difficult. And its hard cause even when we do do a good job, they don't even remember by the folowing sunday, better yet by the time they get home. haha. Anyways, since we LOVE our class so much we made all our kids halloween cookies! We had so much fun doing it! We put lots of detail into them. Later that week, at school I had a dress up day at school, i dressed up as a tiger. It was so much fun to see everyone that dressed up. Very creative ideas! They even had a halloween costume contest. It was great. One girl that one was a whoopie cushion. Ooh geeze I laughed so hard. When she found out she won one of the categories they made her make a sound like a whoopie cushion....she did a great job. Probably very embarressed, but did a good job! It was also fun that week because we had the kids from the daycare come up and got their faces painted and the day before halloween they trick or treated. So cute! Can't wait to dress up my kids someday! (but dont' be expecting anything soon :) )



sideways...oops!




Mine is the 2nd from the left and Nic's is him...standing in the back holding it in front of his head.



Its a devil pumkin!



One of the girls at school dressed up as our teacher Rick, and it was so hilarious! She even got his name tag and carried around a coffee mug like he always does, he could not stop laughing and neither could we!



An apple tree....how cute huh?

Nic's birthday was then around the corner. I had soooo much fun shopping for his birthday and struggling trying to figure out what to get him. Its hard shopping for husbands. I also made him a cake, blue and orange for our amazing broncos, and also bought blue and orange streamers and made the house look very birthday festive! That night we went with our friends J&J to Chilis' and had some great food! It was a funnnnn birthday!





Well to sum things up since November 5th....Nic and I have both been sick. I started out with a cold and then it turned into bronchitis. Nic had the flu. Believe me, there were no kisses on the lips for a couple days.....I didn't want his flu and I didn't want him to get my bronchitis. We're both still getting over them both but doing good! We cannot wait till thanksgiving (which is in 2 days!) and then Christmas! Hopefully I can blog about Thanksgiving before Christmas gets here! Well thanks so much for reading...if you still do considering I haven't blogged in so long! Oh - I still LOVE being married! :D
