Nolan turned 23 on December 2nd. I realized that there is no way surprise boys on their birthdays! I had to buy a few things on his birthday cause he had already opened everything I got him. here are just a few gifts!

I found this at Checker auto for 3 dollars lol. Hm can't go wrong with a power tool for a man!


Nolan got x box live on black friday as one of his birthday gifts and he was actually put into a drawing because of black friday. Well my husband is so freakn lucky and was one of four who won!
I bought him this game the day of his birthday. He had been wanting if forever so I decided that I had to have something for him to open.

I went to Pac sun and got nolan a couple of hats cause his hat is nasty and he loves hurley. I also got him a couple of hurley hoodies. Stylish!

So in the drawing Nolan actually won a Ninetendo DSi but he asked if he could switch it for a wii. So yes on black friday we came home with a free wii! We love it!

Nolan got a new job and he can have facial hair so he thinks that means he doesnt have to shave. He looks really excited to have a new job huh? lol

His new job is express roadside. He likes it way more then circle k and is making more money. Thank heavans we had a truck! He bought a tool box for his truck for his birthday too. He's spoiled I know!

I am spoiled too. We got our christmas present early! A new HP laptop! I love it!!!!!!

Nolan found this treadmill at Salvation Army and actually only paid 25 bucks for it. Sadly havent used it. The incline doesnt work yet but when it does it is worth a good 700 or 800 bucks. Crazy huh?


Our apartment was kind of boring. So I put a bow on our door. Yeah I'm creative lol jk!

My sister in law Rachel worked at macys and got us 25% off cards and this nativity was already 1/2 and then 25% off after that! I love it!

Our stockings lol the tags are still on!

I convinced Nolan to buy me a real Christmas tree! I love it! Martha Stewart Decorations from macy's! The star on top is from walmart and is super small cause I didnt want to spend a ton of money on a tree topper so i just bought a doller ornament and made it a topper. Nolan thinks it is super weird lol!

Also I just cut 9 inches off of my hair! I was getting headaches really bad and am hoping cutting my hair will help. I havent taken any pictures yet but we will for Christmas and I'll post it then. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

bored

So Nolan won a free wii yesterday and is setting it up so I have some time to sit and write. I havent posted forever because we havent had a computer. Nolan just bought me a new laptop for Christmas and I got it early so hopefully I can catch up on here. Nolan and I have been married 7 months now. It is crazy how fast time has flown. Tucson has been good. I am not a big fan of the city but its ok. Nolan has finally got an interview date for the Border Patrol. It's already been 3 months since he first took his test. So say a little prayer that he passes the interview. I am just working full time. I am just about warn out. I complain about massaging everyday just cause it is so physical. I love my clients but at the end of the day I am totally exhausted. It may be a sign of me getting older. I am only 23 for heavans sake. We are hoping that he gets put into Willcox cause then we would settle there. I got lucky and married into the best family ever. His mom has been an angel to me and we decided that living in willcox would be perfect for us. If border patrol doesnt work out we are thinking of moving to Prescott to go to Helicopter flight school. That is plan b so we'll see. but until August we'll stay in tucson and I'll work for massage envy and he will work for Express Roadside. Life is good. Marriage is amazing. You always have a buddy to hang out with. Thank heavans cause I get bored easy! Nolans sister Rachel and her husband Scott moved to tucson a few months ago. We have absolutely loved it. It's fun to live by another newly wed couple. We bowl and play cards and watch movies and play tennis together! It's so fun! They both started full time jobs adn have to be at work at 5am so we havent seen them lately. :( Anyways I should go to bed but figured I should blog a bit. I am editing some wedding pictures and will blog about that soon!!

Updates on my life!

So life has been a bit crazy. I have been working about 60 hours a week and then somehow finding time on the weekends to see nolan. I feel like I never stop going. I got a full 8 hours or sleep in last night and feel great today. It's amazing what sleep can do. Anyways just to update on my life Nolan and I have decided to move to Tucson. He wants to apply for border patrol and also finish his degree. Right now his major is Spanish Education but he isnt sure if that is what he wants to stick with. He likes spanish and would like to use it so maybe a Bachelors in Foreign language. We are also looking at Pima Community Colleges Radiology Tech program. He really wants to get into Border Patrol but we want to have options as well. But Tucson is where we feel that our best options are. Plus our families are both so close to Tucson. I am transferring to a Massage Envy in Tucson and hopefully start the middle of march. My last day of work here in Nampa is March 12th and then we leave for Arizona March 14th after church cause I have to speak in church! :) Joy lol! My best friend Bridget is moving with me that same weekend. Nolan didnt feel comfortable with me in an apartment for 6 weeks by myself. So Bridget very kindly agreed to come live with me for free. The fact that she is dating and sort of head over heels for my cousin Travis has nothing to do with the move ;)! But I am getting excited but nervous. Starting a new job is always hard. I am a little bummed cause even though I am just transferring I still get bummed 2.50 an hour less then I am making in Nampa. It will be a good and exciting change. We will probably be in Arizona forever since our families only live about 30 minutes from each other. Anyways life is crazy and busy but worth it! I am getting really excited to get married. I dont get to see Nolan a ton. We have been lucky and saw each other 3 weekends in a row. Which was amazing. Everytime I see him I fall more in love with him. It is such a good feeling to be taken care of and cared about. I love how he treats me! I am so lucky to get such an amazing man! He make life absolutely wonderful!

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have I told any of you guys that I am IN LOVE!! WAH!!! And I keep falling more and more in love! We are doing long distance which sucks big time. But everytime that I get to see him I fall in love more! 50 days! Only about 4 1/2 weeks till we are done with long distance though. Anyways heather's husband zach took our engagement pictures and they turned out so so good! These are a few of heathers favorites she posted them on my blog so I could look at some of them so I decided I would just post them. They are in color and black and white. I am excited for our announcements. Jackie Hatch is designing them and sent me a sneak peak the other day and I love them. I just can't wait! Wedding plans are not my strength but luckily I have a bazillion sisters who are all willing to help! This wedding will turn out after all! lol! Anyways More posts to come as I move this weekend and start a new job and all! Lots of love!

Me and Nolan!

So I figured it was about time to post some pictures of me and Nolan. All of these are from the weekend he came down and proposed. Enjoy!

I love that I never have to drive when Nolan is around. He always drives me car so I can play with his camera and take crazy pics. lol!

oh how tempting lol! Oh I just love him!

Thats right we be thuggin!

Just us!

He said smile and it turned out like this. I am impressed with how many serious pictures I took this weekend cause I hate serious pictures.

Right after he proposed! I was a little happy!

The ring along with some of the fondue from the restaurant!

Nolan says this is his excited face after I said yes. I don't know what he was worried about I went with him to buy the ring. It was cute that he was still nervous.

So I didn't cry when he proposed cause I was just too excited. This is me talking to my dad telling him which happens to be when I started crying. Don't ask me why that is when I lost it.

So I was supposed to pose with the ring. lol! Once again I hate serious pictures!

Our little waitress took this for us. We had our own little room at the restaurant and this couch was in it! It was so cute!

Well that is it! Hope you guys enjoyed it. I might put some engagements pictures up once we take them. That or make you wait to get the announcement. We'll see. Love you all!!!
