I LOVE YOU!

{FIVE YEARS &....}

FOREVER TO GO...

5 years ago today Nick & I began our life journey together! We meet one cold November night in the FABULOUS Logan, UT where I was attending Utah State University. He and I shared some mutual friends, my college friends & his mission friends... at this point we had no interest in one another and did not think anything of each other until we began to hang out more often. It was yet again another COLD night but this time it was in Salt Lake on NEW YEARS EVE. My friends and I thought it would be great to ring in the new year at his house where him and his mission friends bunked... little did they know we were there because they were in California. Surprise, Surprise... they did know we were there and they surprised us just before the dawn of NEW YEAR 2004! Nick, my friend Jenn & I stayed up to watch the sunrise the next morning, sharing laughs, funny stories and much more. It was then that I thought "this kid is pretty funny. He has a great sense of humor..." January 17th was our first date in Logan. We had a blast but I.... did NOT want a serious relationship! Little did I know that his leaving for California the next day for a week would make me rethink this decision... I will just say we were inseparable ever since....

and here we are just a short while after our fond discovery of one another...

JUNE 17TH, 2004

... a day I will always cherish...

Nick,

I love you so much. Thank you for all that you do for me and our expanding family. You are amazing and I could not ask for a better husband or someone that would suit me better then you. I enjoy all of our joking, laughs & love we share with one another. The hard times are what make me appreciate you even more. You are such a blessing to me and I thank you everyday for going through this journey with me.

Love always,

{Our Trip to St. George}

The weekend after our anniversary my work sent us to our newest resort in St George. It was a really nice get away and fair warning there are a ton of pictures!! I love it because Nick always laughs at me when I do such a big post with tons of pictures. I figure though I love it when people do a post with tons of pictures so I would do the same! I hope you all enjoy looking at them!

The resort that we stayed at was really nice they are brand new townhouse's 3 bedroom 2 bath, luxury! However, I realized I never got any pictures of the actual unit itself but this is a pond right behind our unit that the state stocks full of fish at all times. We got to go fishing a few times when we were there. Nick loved it and I actually had fun with it too. I never caught anything but it was fun to try!

This was the coolest petting farm/souvenir shop in a town called Virgin, UT.

What a convenient name!!!

The guy that work in the store was definitly a unique guy and he totally laughed at me when this city girl walks into his store in the country with heels on. Needless to say I thought I would survive in them until we decided to go into the petting zoo. I broke in and decided to put my crocs back on!

This was the craziest thing ever... on the way out of Zions we were stopped in traffic for about 45 minutes. Obviously for a good reason based on the fire. The whole time we were never sure what was actually on fire until we drove by....

A MELTED SEMI!

THIS WAS NICK'S GUESS EVEN BEFORE WE DROVE BY!!

What a smart guy!!

After the drama of that we stopped at this awesome diner.

They raised their own Elk to kill and make yummy food for their customers!

That is some serious dedication!

I wish this was a better picture but it was even very unique on the inside! I love it!

They had a lot of fun quotes on walls we pretty much sat there the whole time pointing out all the the different ones that we saw.

ZION'S NATIONAL PARK

...has horse back riding, how awesome!

Unfortunately we didn't get to ride them so instead we just hung out with then for awhile while we cooled off in the shade!

Last but not least the other thing that we loved to do while in St George was hang out at the pool. Our friends Jeff & Candice came with us, it was fun to have their babies there to entertain all of us. The girls were so good they liked having their little feet in the water and of course sleep in their car seats in the shade!
