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!!!

Work is so boring!

So I got a second job. I still work full time as a therapist but Massage Envy has let me add on like 20 more hours as a Sales Associate. I have been training until this week. And now that I am actually working I realized how boring this freakn job is! Holy crap! This is why I am a therapist and why I dont just work at a computer all the time. Cause it sucks. I started working front desk at 4 today and it is almost 9 and I feel like I have been here my whole life! BORING! So if you start getting random texts from me between 4 and 10 on tuesday, wednesday, and friday's it's cause I am bored at work. So until I text you I guess.........

BAH!!! I'M ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!

So I figured that I should blog about this weekend. It kind of was one of the best and most important weekends of my life! So Nolan got released from his mission on December 2nd. Yeah that was only 20 days ago. He called me that Sunday the 6th and we talked on the phone form 9:30pm to 4 am. Our longest conversation in high school was like 4 hours. But it was so good. We just hit it off. It was so good. We've been talking on the phone every day and texting constantly. So tuesday or wednesday he talk to his mom and they decided to get him a plane ticket to come see me. Which freak I was so excited for! So he flew in on wednesday the 16th and was staying till yesterday monday the 21st. I was so nervous to see him. I mean hello I hadn't seen him in 20 months. Nolan has a way of making things not awkward. Which is what I was afraid of. But there was never an awkward moment the whole weekend. It went so good. Better then either of us could have imagined. We stayed busy all week doing thing to get to know eachother again. But after knowing eachother for 5 years it was pretty easy. Seriously within about 10 minutes of picking him up from the airport I had totally fallen for him. I am a very indepent girl and so it was hard for me to let him take car of me this week. Now that I am finally comfortable with it and love it he left. But just till January 9th. Anyways our weekend was so fun. We did early morning baptisms and went to the ysa multi stake acitivity and lots of parties and a reception. It was a really busy weekend but so good. Thursday after baptisms nolan and I and actually on of my friends went to just "show" nolan the style of ring that I like. And one thing lead to another and we had gotten a ring. My friend said both of us looked like deer in headlights. lol. The ring was supposed to get sized and be ready by monday. But he called the jewelery store a million times and got the ring saturday without me knowing. Thank heavens for rachelle and scotts help. They went and picked up the ring while me and nolan were at lunch. After lunch we had decided to go to this little fondue restaraunt called Mona Lisa for dessert. I knew something was up when the lady walked us up to this little sucluded room upstairs. It was called lovers lane. It actually was so super cute. Nolan was getter nervous and I was like hold crap. Like having that heart beat that goes 1,000 times a minute. lol. He couldnt even wait till after the fondue came. It was so cute to see him so nervous and then how it changed to a huge smile after I said yes and he had put the ring on my finger. I sure have fallen in love with him. And I am so excited to spend the rest of eternity with him. We have been thinking about dates and we keep going back to April 30th in the mesa temple. but that isnt set in stone until we find out his school schedule this semester. I know that this was fast and that people think we are a little crazy but every single person that has seen us together knows it is right. And the most important part is that we do. Without a doubt both of us know that this is what is supposed to happen. I am thankful for my family and his family support. I loved all the reactions!

Just my thought for the day!

The last couple of weeks for me have been very emotional and crazy. I've been really focusing on the temple and preparing myself for the blessing to come someday there. I am getting to the age where the temple is becoming my focus. I have thought a lot about a mission lately. Not that I am going to go but I think in the next year or so it will certainly be an option. My bishop has been helping me with some of the feelings that come with the temple and he has been helping me realize that I am good enough to go when the time is right. I got a new calling a couple of months ago that has really helped me in my spiritual growth. I teach the 4th sunday lesson in relief society. It is on a talk from general conference that the bishop chooses. And so far it has been amazing. And it has really helped me grow. But I just got another calling too. I havent been sustained so SHHH!! lol But I am now the Activities chairman again. I had this calling for about a year and got released about 5 months ago. But just got called back in. I have really mixed feelings but I am trying to trust the lord. The future is scaring me and I am not sure how to deal with it. My friend bridget will be back from school for a while in January and I am so thankful for that. Cause she always reminds me that everything will be ok. And that it's nothing to be scared about! I think 2010 us going to be a good year for me with lots of changes. Maybe a mission or a new place to live or marriage! It all scares me but I trust the lord and it will be ok. Anyways thouse are just my thoughts! Have a good day!
