The most amazing Valentine's day...

In the past my Valentine's days have been pretty much a disaster...this year was the first Valentines day Nate and I would celebrate as a married couple and due to my unfortunate past history with Valentines days I wasnt really sure if I should be excited or prepare myself for a disaster...well in true Nathan form he made our first Valentines day as a married couple the most AMAZING Valentines day I have ever had!

I had no idea what we were doing but Nate was excited so I was excited. We drove to Newport Harbor, got out and started walking along the water...I was still clueless as to what was going on. We walked up to this little hut that said Newport Rentals and to my suprise Nate and rented a boat for us to take a romantic cruise around Newport Harbor and Balboa. We got on the boat and when we were in the middle of the harbor Nate pulled out a little vase of red roses and a heart shaped cheesecake with strawberries (cheesecake is my favorite dessert ever!) IT WAS SOOO ROMANTIC! We started out on our boat ride right as the sun began to set...we cruised around the harbor and around Balboa for an hour an a half...just talking and laughing, enjoying the sights and sharing the delicious cheesecake! I couldnt have planned a better night. It meant so much to me that Nate took the time to plan this for me, he really put a lot of thought into it and it was the most perfect Valentines day ever!

After our boat ride we went to Yard House and had some yummy food and of course laughed some more.

I still can't believe how amazing, romantic, and perfect the night was...Nate and I have so much fun together, he's my best friend and I couldn't have dreamed up a more perfect husband for me. I am so blessed to have him as my husband!

I love you Nate...thanks for such a great night!

Are YOU the MEDIC????

I really have been wishing lately that life would slow down and become less crazy because I really would love to hang out with some of my girl friends....I feel like such a horrible friend because I never seem to have time....between nursing school, clinicals, work, sleep and a husband...there just never seems to be any time for girl time....which is really frustrating because girl time is always needed. I also find it frustrating that my best friend and I live so far apart....

Kristen-I think we would make amazing neighbors and we should definately make that happen like tomorrow lol...too bad neither of us has the money to make that happen...but seriously, one day this should be a reality....

I keep telling myself that once I finish with my clinicals I'll have more time to hang out with the girls...but now is the time I need to hang out with some girls-to blow off the stress of clinicals and school....ugh....its such a vicious cycle of needing girl time but having no time for anything. Maybe I can make up for the missed girl time with a girl trip after graduation to somewhere fabulous??? Ok so who's up for that?

These moments...

Nate and I are sitting on the couch watching tv and sharing about our days and while we sit here and talk all I can think about is how greatful I am to have such an amazing husband and how wonderful God is for creating such an amazing bond between two people. For me, its these little day-to-day moments with Nate that mean the most. I almost cant believe that in two short months we will be celebrating our one year anniversary...it all went by so fast. To celebrate our first year of marriage we are finally going to have our wedding ceremony and renew our vows and as the day gets closer all I can think about is how lucky I am to be Nate's wife and what an amazing blessing he is to me each and every day! I look forward to the coming years and to experiencing more of life together and growing together...and I look forward to more of these moments that I will cherish forever....

Our Little Monster

As many of you know Nate and I got a puppy last November. She is a really smart dog and has been pretty easy to train when it comes to commands; however, we can't seem to get her potty trained!!! When she goes potty in the house she knows that she did something wrong because she'll run into her crate and put herself in timeout...she just can't seem to figure out how to tell us that she has to go out. Sometimes we will take her out for a walk and she'll come back in the house and 10 minutes later she'll go potty in the house. We just dont know what else to do...we've tried every idea we can think of. Does anyone have any ideas??? We're getting pretty desperate!

Our New Adventure

So these past few weeks Nate and I have been getting our new internet business up and running. We are very excited about this new adventure and I just wanted to share a little bit of what its all about. We are working with a group called World Wide Group and Amway. Basically the way the business works is like this: you have your own website has three different features 1. Customers can come to your website and purchase Amway products that can only be purchased through Amway independent business owners. Amway products are grown and manufactured here in the United States and Amway was one of the first companies to produce "green" and organic products 2. your website works as a portal similar to Amazon.com and has links to our affiliates' websites like Joann's, Shop.com, 1800Contacts, etc.; also like Amazon the website features deals from some of our affiliates without having to go to their site like Sketchers, Kathy VanZeeland, Levi's, Kenneth Cole, Dooney and Bourke, and many more. 3. The website also has wholesale food and home goods just like you would find at Cosco. We would love it if you would be willing to check out our website and support our new business. Most of the prices are the exact same as they are in the stores and most of the Amway products are a better quality than whats being sold in the stores. On the website if you click on a product you are interested in you can look up the ingredients, the FAQ's, and some comparisons. Please just check it out!
