as of Lately...

Braydon has been so busy lately with school full time and coaching track at the high school, Track meets two nights a week, studying, and homework…

Nicole is working on finding a job! And is getting really sad because no one in the whole city of Boise wants her. This is true. She is not giving up though and knows she will find one soonJ

While she is not working she has been staying busy with cleaning, laundry, running a little, cooking a little, working with Steve and Angie a few days (thankyou!) a little babysitting, helping Braydon with his homework when he asks J, applying to jobs and searching Craig’s lists like a mad woman.

Colton gets baptized!

My little brother Colton who is growing up so fast just got baptized on Sunday the 20^th of March and we were lucky enough to be there for the event! It was so wonderful seeing my dad baptizing my little brother J & and seeing my husband help out with the confirmation! I loved it. He is getting so big and is such a funny kid. He is always making me laugh! Colton I miss you!

Braydon was sick all weekend and last week, it was horrible. He had a bad fever, sore throat, and the chills. He was so cute bundled up in bed I just had to get a picture!



HONEYMOON. need i say more?

We woke up early on Sunday and started our drive to California! It was a long drive but we finally made it to Las Vegas and then Long Beach where we boarded our cruise!

The cruise was so much fun, & the food was delish! Braydon brought his go pro and filmed everything! Here is the documented trip! Enjoy…

Wedding Day 2-11-2011

Everything went by way too fast! Looking back now I wish somehow I could have slowed things down a little and enjoyed it even more. It was such an amazing day! So surreal. I loved the temple, it was so beautiful and it was so amazing having my parents and Braydon’s parents and so many of our family members and friends there to celebrate that special moment. It was the greatest feeling ever being sealed to Braydon. I feel so lucky and we both know that we are doing the right thing, and we are meant to be together. We are best friends & I wouldn’t want to be sharing my life with anyone else. I love him sooo much!!! and I couldn’t be happier that we are finally married!!!! Its about dang time too... It seems like this is something I have waited forever for. I am so grateful that everything ended up working out the way it did. And for Braydon for not giving up on us, and giving it one more shot :) I can’t thank him enough! I love you!

he is so cute.

officially the worst blogger ever! & thoughts from my head :)

I have clearly come to the conclusion that I am officially the worst blogger EVER! its horrible. Lately so many wonderful things have happened and it would only make sense to document them so that I can remember them forever. So once again it looks like I will be playing catch-up! :) 

Here they come.. all in the same day  :) ha!

Better late than never right???
