Cop Out

Oh look at me go. Only 3 months since I've updated last? I'm doing so great! haha Actually, given the circumstances lately, 3 months is fantastic! Instead of writing paragraphs all about the past 3 months I am going to live up to the standard of this post's title and go for a "cop out". A picture cop out that is :) Here ya go!

Can you believe this little gal can be so big so fast?! She just keeps getting prettier and prettier!

There is an area up Spanish Fork canyon where my Grandpa Joe used to go hunting. When he'd go he would carve his name in trees. We were able to go looking with some of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandma and were able to find some. To keep the tradition going, Nick and I carved our names in a tree that we'll go back and visit for years to come. I really love that idea.

Wonderful. Terrible. Need I say more? Wonderful: smashing cars, exploding radiators, dirt flying, and people cheering. Terrible: Nick's getup.

Happy 21st birthday to me! :) I worked the night shift the night before my birthday so I didn't get home until 7 that morning. I came home to a sweet hubby before he had to leave for work. Just after he left my momma walked in with a pot full of my favorite breakfast. She had me go outside and I found a huge birthday sign hanging up just like she's always hung on her house since forever. The afternoon was spent meeting up with Beth and Malia for lunch, hanging out with Nick, picking up our NEW car, and a Texas Roadhouse steak! :)

We got to spend some time with some of my favorite people in Mapleton for Dax's birthday party in Mapleton. Thanks Jess and McKay for the invite! Hate that we don't see ya'll very much but we sure do love your guys a WHOLE bunch!

We did it! We made it one whole year! Love that we've got eternity to go! The morning was spent getting ready to go to Nick's brothers wedding. It made me sad weeks before our anniversary to realize that we wouldn't be able to celebrate together or go on the getaway trip I'd been wanting to go on because we'd be spending the day at his brothers wedding. When I walked back into our bedroom I found a boquet of beautiful roses and a jewlery box on our bed. He surprised me with a diamond band for my ring! What a stud right!? We left for Salt lake around 11 for the wedding business. Even through we were celebrating someone elses wedding that day, he and everyone else remembered that it was our day too and made me feel so special. All in all, a good day.

Here is our latest excitement. Nick tore his ACL and meniscus about a year ago and we were waiting for Workers Comp to let us know that they'd be covering it. Well, of course, they aren't. Finally after a year of the run-around we just decided to have it done so that Nick could get started on his road to recovery. It's been 4 days and Nick is doing really great! Still hurting, but doing great. Physical therapy starts Monday and then we'll really get the ball rolling! :)

School starts in a couple weeks so for right now we are really enjoying the time off and our time together. I'll work on keeping the updates a little closer together than every three months for my memory's sake. :)
