Nates 24!

I think Nate's Birthday lasted at least a week! Not because of him but because of me! I love Birthday's and they need to be a big deal. Nate on the other hand could care less. His family is not big into holidays or birthdays, but as for me that's what I live for! So I am working on breaking him in on holidays and birthdays and I will say that he is getting much better. Well his birthday was on a Tuesday so I thought I would surprise him with a night at Little American on Saturday night and then we could go to their Sunday brunch.. it was amazing! So we get to the brunch and the first stop was the crepes.. they are unreal! So when we were waiting in line they were adding into every ones some Brandy, and it would light on fire and big flames would shoot out from the pan. So I thought oh that looks kinda fun I want that. So I say yes to the Brandy.. and dont worry it burns out.. or at least it suppose to! We the guy before me his flames went on forever and they were huge so I thought oh I am good..its just going to add some more flavor.. So its my turn and she adds in the Brandy.. and nothing!! She put the alcohol in and then didn't put it back on the stove to burn it out!! ha ha ha So as she handed it to me I got a big wiff of alcohol so we had to go back and get a new one.. dont worry mom I didn't eat it!! But the brunch was awesome and we both left wishing we had worn sweats! On Tuesday his birthday we had his family come over and we had a party. We ate hamburgers, brats, chips, cookie salad, and a whole bunch more. We watched American Idol (Nate and I love it!), opened gifts and played the Wii till 12am! It was really fun! Nate ended up getting a gift cert to go paragliding! He has been asking to do this forever so I thought hey why not for his birthday!!!

Kamas Cabin

Since Nate got a new snowmobile this year we take every opportunity to go snowmobiling!! Every once in a while the Harwards get invited up to the Tilltson cabin. We love to go it is such a nice cabin with great snowmobiling! Nate ended up not bringing his own snowmobile because at the cabin they have about 9 Ski Doo, and Nate wanted to try them out. They were all low on oil and gas so Nate fixed them all up and off we went. Every once in a while we will ride together but its pretty hard to maneuver, so I would ride my own and when I got stuck Nate would come and bail me out!!!

Yellowstone Feb 21-24 2008

I got a call one day from Nate telling me that he and Uncle Chris have planned another snowmobiling trip!! I was about to freak when he said oh and you get to come this time!!! They both knew that if they planned another trip with out their wives they were going to be going home to each other at night!!!! So a few days later we jumped in Jeep and off we went. Nates little brother ended up riding up with us and everyone else rode up with Chris and Sue. We got there around midnight pulled into the parking lot to unload everything and the second that you got out of the car it was freezing!!! So as we are getting the snowmobiles and food unloaded Chris asked Nate how far away the cabin was.. Nate said Oh about 100-200 yards!! Ya Right so I piped in and said no way its at least a mile maybe more.. When everything was in the cabin safe and sound everyone came to an agreement that Nate was totally off it was defiantly closer to a mile! That next morning we hung around the cabin for a bit then Chris, Trev, Nate and I all decided to go on a ride up to two top. It was a super bumpy ride and once we got to the top there were hundreds of acres of completely tracked snow!! There wasn't an inch of snow that hadn't been touched so we rode around for a bit and headed back on the bumpy road. When we all came to realize that the snow wasn't that good Nate and Trevor saw that there was some cross country skis and a sled that they could play with and jump off the roof with.. so that's what they did. Lets just say I didn't marry Nate for is gracefulness on cross country skis! It was pretty funny to watch then I thought hey that looks easy I will check it out.. Well come to find out we both are not made to cross country ski! Even though the snow was bad we found other ways to be entertained, we played the WII, Dominos and ate more then we should have! Our trip ended on Sunday and of course the day that you cant do anything it snowed the night before and there was perfect snow as we were loading everything back into the trucks!! That's how it always goes!!!

Nate and I met our Sophmore year in High School at Bingham High. I was dating someone else at the time and so was he.. after a few weeks we were both single and started dating!! The rest is history.. and yes for all of you counting your fingers we dated for 8 years before we got married!!! It was a long time coming but we are super excited so start our own little family....

HONEYMOON!!!

Nate and I went to Las Vegas on our honeymoon. We stayed at the Red Rock Hotel and loved it! We Drove into town the Tuesday after our wedding it was about 60 degrees and we were so excited. We checked into our hotel and went and found something to eat. The next day we woke up and it was is freezing dang it! We went shopping, walked around and just relaxed it was so nice! On Thursday morning I woke up and wast feeling too well so we hung out for a bit but then we wanted to go and see the Tigers at the Mirage. Still cold we went and walked through the tigers they were really cool. Later that night we went to eat at Emeril's Del Monico's restaurant...it was really good. We were sitting there and then all of the sudden here comes Emeril walking out of the kitchen to talk to Mario Batali. We got a signed cookbook from Emeril and it made my day! After dinner we went to see La Reve at the Wynn.. it was fantastic!!! I ended up not feeling well again and we ended up leaving that next morning a day early so that I could go home and hopefully start to get better! I swear something like that always happens on our honeymoon!!! But we still had a ton of fun and it ended up taking me over a week to feel better.
