September 2013

September has been a pretty good month! The Nelson family got together once again. The boys ditched us for a USU vs U of U football game. So we decided that we would go shopping. It was pretty fun. It was nice to get out and have a girls day again. We ended up getting some cute clothes for our Nelson family pictures. And then we had a baby blessing. September 15th was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! I can't believe it has already been a year. Its gone by so fast but its been a very good year. I had my first duck hunting experience. I went out with the guys while they were hunting. It sure did suck having to get up soo early but it was very worth it when we saw the sunrise. We were able to go to Chicago for Christmas and spend some time in Windy City with my brother-sister in law. That was a cold and very fun experience. We would really like to go back again but next time it wont be in the winter so we can go do a few more things! :)We had a few camping/fishing trips. My besty came over and spent the weekend with us. It was sure nice to have some company. (Im getting bored with it just being the two of us. It would sure be nice if some people our age would think were cool and would like to hang with us.) We went to a few rodeos. And the most important thing that has happened was the my hubby surprised me for our anniversary. He packed the bags and we spent the night in the Old Rock Church house that we spent our honey moon night in. We went out to dinner, watched some football, put in a movie and I was out by 8:30.... That was an accident but I guess I was more tired than I thought. But the back of my eye lids played a better movie that what we were watching. In the morning Aaron surprised me with one more thing.... He took all of the pictures that we have taken while being together and made a movie slide show. Its the sweetest thing ever. I sure do love my husband! It was a good way to end the first year. Now to many more years and fun adventures to come!

Summer 2013

This summer has been somewhat eventful. At the beginning of the summer Aarons parents took us out to the Hyrum Stake Park and we spent a few nights out there in the cabins. One night when I went out on the lake with Doug and Aaron in this little tiny boat they had made me throw a fish back into the water. I didn't realize that fish were that slipper-ly. I was gross but not as gross them making me cut a worm in half. When Aaron was throwing a fish back into the water it started bleeding and I almost started to throw up. Thankfully I didn't. We took a family trip with Aaron's family to Fish Lake. That was my first time there and it was pretty fun but the only thing you can basically do is.... Fishing, fishing and more fishing. So next time we go I will make sure to get a day or two fishing pass so I have something to do besides sitting in the boat and watching Aaron and his dad fish for FOUR hours straight. I did help cut up another worm but this time I didn't saw it in half like I did on my first fishing trip. Just as we were finishing up for the day it started to sprinkle and within ten minutes it started to pour. I love listening to the rain, its always so peaceful. It was really pretty down there. We saw a lot of does up close. I think they know when its not deer season because they were not shy! They walked near our camp a few times. We went to the Preston parade and side walk sales and hung out with my family. We bought us some hats for the rodeos. Karyn and Ryan came up and spent the weekend with us. It was a pretty busy weekend. We went to the Logan rodeo, my friend got married and I went to baby shower and then we played us a little kareokee. Two weeks later Aaron and I, his parents and my friend Sheri and her hubby went to the Box Elder fair, checked out all the cows and pigs, then on to more stinky chickens and birds. I have never seen some of those piegons. They made my day though. Some of them had some pretty curly hair. We got us some rodeo hamburgers yummy popcorn and watched us some crazy horse and bull riding. We ended up going back to the carnival and I made Aaron play a game and he won me a pretty colorful elephant! This last weekend we had another family gathering for a baby blessing and my awesome sister and brother in law came home from Chicago for the week. The girls went shopping and the guys had ended up going to Salt Lake to watch the USU VS. U of U. It was a pretty close game but sadly we lost. I am going to take a gun safety class so we ended up going shooting some clay piegons. Im not sure how many chances I had but I did hit two! And for me.... Two is not to bad. Maybe its from all the practicing we do with my dad. (Which isn't the much) and I don't do well at target shooting either so if I'm going to pass this gun safety class I better be practicing A LOT more than what I am so I can go out and duck hunt with the in laws.
