The Details...




Last Friday was my 21st birthday. I wasn't sure how to feel about turning 21 and when I woke up that day I wasn't excited at all. Then, I went to work. When I got to Sadie's house (the baby that I nanny for) Kristi-Lynn (her mom) said, "Don't look in the kitchen yet. Sadie has a surprise for you!" So I waited until they were ready before I went to see my surprise. They were so sweet! They had decorated with balloons and a happy birthday sign, and they even got me Tulips! Very pretty. Kristi-Lynn had lit 3 candles on my mini cheesecake (that was heavenly!) and her and Sadie sang to me. It was fun. Then I opened my presents which were a new laundry backpack (which is amazing for hauling loads of laundry up and down flights of stairs! ) and they gave me a gift certificate to get a pedicure (which I've never had in my life, so I'm thrilled). Kristi-Lynn, Brett, and Sadie put a lot of effort into making my birthday special. Sadie even made me a purple card with her cute little footprints on it. I love it! She is over 12lbs now which is pretty exciting news. So thanks to the Gibsons for brightening my morning. Later that day I received a text from Nathan saying to be ready by 7 because he had a surprise. I met him at Grand Central around 7:30 and he gave me a dozen roses! They were pink, coral, and an orange-ish color. Loved them! We proceeded to walk to time square and he handed me tickets to Mary Poppins on broadway! We loved the show. There were a couple of parts that were different from the movie (of course), but it was fabulous. We especially loved the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious scene!! After the show Nate bought me a Mary Poppins snowglobe! I've decided to collect snowglobes and he is collecting mugs! One day when we have a house we want to have a New York/Memorabilia room for all of our fun stuff that we get out here. After the show Nate took me to dinner at Chevys in Time Square. We've been wanting to go there for a while. So that was friday night. On Saturday Nate and I went to an early movie 11:40 am and saw Confessions of a Shopaholic. I totally loved it and I think Nate enjoyed it as well. We ran errands and were out all day, so we took our chances with getting into Serendipity...(yes like the movie...one of my favorites!) We had a 2 hour wait and went shopping in the mean time. When we got back we were able to get right in. It was perfect and we had lots of fun just being together. We shared a delicious "Forbidden Broadway Sundae," and on our way out we bought another "snowglobe" as my Valentine's present. In the morning before we left I gave Nate his present. It's a cute red mug with the words "Yes Dear" on it(a mug of course..we're so silly, but we love each other!). Overall, we just loved spending so much time together. We love our weekends together now. I'm sure glad tomorrow is Friday again!!! I love you Nathan. Thanks for celebrating all weekend with me and making it so much fun. I love you!!!

Serendipitous!!!!

A Happy Valentine's Day it was!!! Confessions of a Shopaholic almost made me want to stop shoppping...but not really because we are living in NYC!! And we came along Serendipity that evening and decided to take our chances with the 2 hour wait. It was well worth it! We had a blast! Details to come...

Not such a good blogger anymore!

Me & the birthday girl, Melissa!
Most of the Party
Yuhi, Shannon, & I
So Its been quite some time since I've blogged regularly. We are alive and well! Haven't really slept much for some reason...don't quite know why. We're working on this one. Just some updates. We have been called to be the CTR 5 teachers at church. We're enjoying it and look forward to teaching the group of kids that we have. They are cute and Nate is great with the kids. Also, I have been at my new job for about 3 weeks now and I'm loving it. Little Sadie is just precious and I love taking care of her. I couldn't have been blessed with a more perfect job. I'm very grateful for the way things have come together. Also, I've started school online which has been a really neat experience. I still get to feel the "Spirit of Ricks" without actually being there in Idaho. (And I've heard that it has snowed like crazy this winter in Idaho, so I'm happy to have the frigid NY winter without much snow. ) Being an online student is very different though. I already sometimes wonder why I decided that I wanted to finish school...cause its so much work. I went from having nothing to do in New York to lots to do. Gotta love it! I guess you could say that Nate has started busy season work. He usually gets home anytime from 8-11 at night. Luckily I have lots to do now! Last weekend a couple in our ward had a birthday party at a place in Time Square called Dave and Busters. It's like a big Chuck E Cheeses for grown ups. Nate had a blast playing basketball and Deal or No Deal at the arcade. We had a good time, despite the fact that they almost didn't want to let me in cause I'm not 21 yet! That was a little embarassing. When I told the guys at the door that it was okay cause I wouldn't be drinking and neither would any of our party he looked at me and laughed. They let me in because almost everyone else was 25 or older, but it will just sound better to say that I am 21. No worries...birthdays are coming up for Nate and I. Which means we've almost been married for a year and half. These are some pictures from the party.
