The First Year

I can't believe a year has come and gone! I've loved every minute of being married and I feel so blessed to have Nate as my husband. He's my best friend.

We took the day off! We left Brownsville and went to the beach. We got a couples massage, and we did nothing all day long...it was perfect!

This is the first day since April that we have had all to ourselves...long overdue

No that is not us but we did take this death shot for a ride...CRAZY!!

Nate has been looking for a new car...I found this one....It would work and all you have to do is plug it into the wall!

This is the pool that we spent about 4 hours at. There were so many comfy chairs and beds we tried them all. 4 hours later we were burnt and tired.

Jumping Things

I HATE THESE THINGS!!

reasons why:

*they're everywhere

*they jump randomly

*they can fly

*they are gross

*they make annoying chirps at night

*I have found at least five in my toilet....I can't get myself to go to the bathroom after I've seen it in there

*when they die they become crispy

*I always think one is on me

*I think they know I am afraid of them

*they seem to know when to jump to freak me out

Too Long

Yes I'm posting two new posts because I can. I feel like I never have time to update this thing so when I do it's like word vomit. I can't believe we have been here for two months. Isn't weird how time flies when your looking back. I'm not going to lie I'm dreading the next two. We are moving to Brownsville on Sunday and I just don't want to. Never in my life have I wanted to go back to Utah but right now I do. Texas is the hottest place on earth...I'm convinced. There are literally days that I dread walking outside for any reason. I feel like no one should be allowed to wear anything but a swimsuit here and trust me I find every excuse to do just that.

I'm nervous to find out where we are living. I'm nervous that I might be stabbed by an illegal immigrant. I'm nervous I'll die of dehydration because every step I take outside I lose 5 pounds of sweat. But mostly I'm nervous I'll go crazy from boredom. I did pretty good here in Corpus Christi. I found a personal training gym that I'm in love with and I feel like if I can find something like that to do I'll be okay. Anyways all I can do is stay positive but its hard to do when you are left alone everyday...I think I'll just have to come home sooner than later:)

SEA WORLD!

So it really has been a while since I went to Sea World but it was so cool there is no way I wasn't going to blog about it.

Even though it was blazing hot and you couldn't take two steps without sweating profusely I fell in love with Sea World!

We got to feed dolphins and I touched one for the first time...I think I could've been happy just standing in this spot the whole day. Dolphins a fascinating to me...yes I used the word fascinating.

Me and the wives drove up to San Antonio and spent the night. We saw the Alamo and in this pic we are on the river walk where you ride through the city on a little boat. If I hadn't known any better I thought we were in Italy.

This is my dream job!! We went and saw a show at the end of our long day in the sun...I was obsessed with this! It was a mini cirque show and I loved every minute of it...probably more than the kids we were with. I have never wanted to swim with whales and dolphins more in my life. I swear if I wouldn't have been stopped I would've climbed right into that tank.

Yeah that is a man being pushed around my this dolphin/whale.

Hello Houston!

We finally got a break from the everyday routine and went to Houston for the weekend to visit the fam. It was so nice to be away and relax and see these cute little boys.

We went to the pool for a good 5 minutes before the lifeguards blew their whistles. There was a storm coming and it started to thunder. I guess here they make everyone get out of the pool until 30 minutes after the last thunder. Bummer...

This is Hyrum and he is probably the only baby I know that makes me want kids...he is perfect in every way!

Payton and Levi have to be two of the funniest little boys I know. Levi has the biggest sweet tooth and kept asking me for candy and gum...and me having the same problem as Levi could not say no and kept giving him all the candy and gum I had in my purse. Payton is addicted to iphone games and can play them longer than any person I know. Sometimes his eyes will start to turn red from not blinking!

I can't wait to see them again!

I WON

After a never ending pile of paperwork I decided to check my email and I found out I won 50 bones!!! Yep that's right 50 big ones ha ha! Our office is having a competition for the all of the Office Assistants. If you turn in paperwork you get a raffle ticket for a drawing. Well I did my work and I was the first name drawn! Woot woot!!! I honestly never win anything so I'm stoked...and this is probably the most exciting thing that will happen to me for the next 4 months sooooo I had to post it!

This is one of the five pics me and Nate have taken since we have been in Texas and I think it will forever be my favorite. Believe it or not this is a surf shop and there is a door inside that sharks mouth. Awesome. Well not much has happened here. Nate is doing a lot better with sales and liking it a lot more. I still hate the job I have but love that it takes up some of my free time. I really shouldn't complain. As for Texas I really think I could love it here. The weather is amazing the people are friendly and my skin is no longer the color of...well white. Life is definitely good.
