Quick update!

So we are back up in Richfield and loving it! This year I am working full time while Nate is also working pretty much full time, but also trying to finish school. Nate has once again changed his major...Natural Resources. Which really is pretty close to Range and Wildlife Biology. But he is in a natural resource class here and loves it! He figured he could do so much more places with natural resources so I hope he continues to love it and keep that enthusiasm. He is also working at IFA and he really does like that! He works almost every weekend which isn't too fun but oh well!! A job is a job now a days!

      As for me I got the dream job I wanted for right now! I am working at the Richfield clinic which is part of intermountain healthcare. In the future I would like to work at a intermountain hospital so this is getting my foot in the door. I work with the best ladies and doctors!! I absolutely love going to work and being there. I am loving our life right now! We moved into a new apartment which is awesome and we love, we have great family's, great friends, and of course each other so life is so awesome!!

This weekend my little brother took some pics of Nate and I. I have been asking him forever to do a photo shoot for us and after endless months of nagging it worked and at the perfect time! So here are a few pics! He is amazing! And to think he isn't even majoring in photography! :)

Spring Has Sprung!!

This year for spring break Nate and I wanted to do something fun, go somewhere that is actually going to be warm so that's exactly what we did!! My grandparents go and snowbird for the winter down in Yuma AZ which is right on the border of Mexico.

The drive there was long and straight, but we just kept watching the the temperature raise so that made it better! We stayed with my grandparents a few days and had a lot of fun! They took us around the lettuce fields, the date farm, the nut factory and just a bunch of different things. The last day we went into Mexico.... Before the trip I tried to talk Nate into getting a passport, but he refused to pay the money! We tried to take his birth certificate and everything to see if they would let him in...well really the problem would be getting him out. So we went to US customs before and tried to talk to them and they were RUDE! We just played it safe and he went back to my grandparents while me and my grandparents went into Mexico. It was so much fun, I hated not having Nate in there cause he would have loved it!!!!! He would have talked about it for years... But now he says next time for sure he is getting his passport. I got some great deals down there below the border and got Nate and I some great little souvenirs. The weather was great, in the 80's. never dropped below 60. The day we went into Mexico it was windy and about 65 degrees, it was so funny because all the little Mexican's had their full winter coat on with sweaters under just freezing.... little do they know how cold UTAH is!Grandpa insisted we got our shoes Shined!

Freshly picked grapefruit from the backyard every morning for breakfast!

So after Yuma we headed up toward Phoenix. Nate has always wanted to go to spring training even if the Braves don't come to Arizona he has always wanted to go watch Texas. We stayed in Phoenix for 2 days and went to the Texas Rangers game and they played the White Sox, We sat on the front row and just soaked up the sun! We want to make this a tradition every year! It's so much cheaper than during the season and your so much closer to the players, they come over a lot more and talk and well its warm!! :) Then we decided to go to the Phoenix Suns game. Nate has never been to an official basketball game so we finally did clear down in Phoenix. They played the Mavericks which made it even better. We sat 4 rows from the top, but we had a lot of fun! Nate caught a t-shirt and it was an intense game ! We had such a great spring break!!

We have LOVED the weather warming up and trying to do as much as we can!!! School is going great for both of us, We will be moving back down to Kanab for the summer and then back to Richfield for next year. We really like Richfield!! :) So I will post some pics of what we have been up to!!! School Project!!! PILL BOTTLE!Our Mexican Souvenirs Our miniature horse PIPPIN!

Our New Hobby

ICE FISHING!!

Our first time we went.... and the ice was pretty much see - through and made some scary noises!! But we came to find out the noise are normal and the Ice is plenty thick. The ice was so clear and so smooth. We loved it, but had no luck!

Breakin the ICE :)

Nate did go the next Friday and caught 2! Then the next day 2 of Nate's friends came and we went to Fishlake again and it was snowing and cold. I fell 3 times on the ice, Nate fell once,and then one of his friends also fell once. A little snow and that smooth of ice was not easy to walk on! We only stayed about an hour and a half and Nate caught the only fish! Even if it was cold it was fun!

*Thank You 2011*

Wow 2011 is over, and I feel like it just started, But after looking back through out this year I realize how blessed Nate and I are and we are so blessed to have the family and friends we have. 2011 has brought us many great things now that I look back.... Thank you 2011 you did us real well! :)
A few big things that happened to us this year are...... We had our 1st wedding anniversary, we were able to move back to Kanab for the summer ( both Nate and I got our jobs back), Going to Phoenix to the Braves games, I was accepted into the Snow College Nursing Program, We got a new truck, I drew out for a big bull tag, both Nate and I drew out for deer, we had two new little nephews ( Kash, Nixon), We were able to find a great apartment in Richfield, We moved into the Richfield 16th ward which is amazing, We spent many many weekends in the mountains, Fished a lot.... I finally went to the Grand Canyon, My heart is in great condition and is healed completely. The 222nd was called out in June Dustin safely returned right before Christmas. To top the end of the year off we both passed our fall semester classes.. and yes I survived my first semester of nursing school.
