Over the weekend we decided to go rock climbing with our friends. Cameron and Britny came in from Arkansas. Oh, the weather was beautiful this weekend, it was nearly 70 degrees.
The rock climbing walls are located in and on an old grain silo.
We had such a good time, both Nick and Cam made it to the top of the silo. Brit and I made it up about half way.
On Thursday we celebrated Nick's Birthday. We had our friends, Kirk, Heather, Kayla and Kynda (and Kapri) over for dinner and presents. It is always really fun to spend time with them. We really love their girls.
Nick wanted black bean soup, homemade french bread and Skor cake. It was delicious if I do say so myself.
Heather and I had fun talking while Nick and Kirk were watching the GOP debate. After the debate Nick opened his presents. I surprised him with a jigsaw. He really wasn't expected that, but I thought that eventually he will use it.
The girls eventually got bored so they decided to jump into the Love Sac. They really enjoy Nick throwing them into it. They are so cute and make us laugh. Like when I was demonstrating to Kayla how my blanket changed from a pillow to a blanket, she replied "oh my heavens to hearts". So Cute! I just started laughing, I didn't even know what to say.
So, I have been waiting to post some momentous occasion. Then I realized that my life doesn't usually have those. So, I will just update everyone on what we are up to.
Nick has just started his second semester of his second year in law school. It seems as though he is enjoying it. He is also working for the university as a member of the general counsel. He really likes it and he gets along with the people he works with. He is also volunteering at the Oklahoma City District Attorney's office. He gets to do a lot of interesting things there. He also just passed his legal interns exam, so he can start doing litigation.
I have been working as an RN at an OBGYN office. I really enjoy what I am doing. I am learning so much and I just celebrated my one year anniversary there. Yea!! I am also the 2nd counselor in YW at church. It is a really fun calling. I enjoy the other women as well as the girls.
We also just got a web cam and we have been talking with my family. It has been so much fun! It was so crazy to see how big Jessica's tummy is getting. I am so excited to go home and see her. I will be in Utah, hopefully, in March sometime. More details to come...
We just returned from our Christmas vacation to Kernersville, North Carolina. It was so fun to spend time with Nick's family. While we were there we tried to help with their kitchen renovations (i.e picking out door knobs, figuring out how to use their new appliances, putting in the new sink). We love doing home renovation stuff. We also helped organize Harry's office.
We had a good time shooting guns (apparently I am good at shooting a .22 rifle). That was really fun. We also went to Asheville, North Carolina and toured the Biltmore Estate. So Amazing!! It is the largest estate in the United States. It took us an hour and a half to get through 62 rooms. I think there are over 200 rooms. Anyway, I was in heaven. It was beautifully decorated with lots of Christmas decorations. The scenery was so serene. We had a great time. We also ate at my favorite Japanese place three times (it is still my favorite place in the world!!) Most of all, it was very nice to be able to relax and spend time with Nick's family.
Welcome to our new blog. I have started this blog because we would like to stay better connected to our family and friends. Hopefully I will understand Blogspot better then I did MySpace.
The first slideshow I uploaded is of the ice storm in December 2007. Most of the pictures are of broken trees. It was really amazing to see how one storm could take down over 1 million trees in Oklahoma. We still have lots of downed trees along the sides of all the roads, but most everything else is back to normal.
