Where do i even begin!!

I know. I know. I am the absolute WORST blogger!! Scratch that. I'm the worst picture taker which in turn makes me the worst blogger. Since our last post for our anniversary, many things have happened to us.

• We went on a gigantic cross country trip to see my family in Alabama and Nate's in Pennsylvania. Scout and Grits came too! We stopped for a day in Kansas City and we got to see our friends Matt and Ang. Also, we got to see baby Rylee, Rianna and Deanna! It was a really nice visit! We stayed with my family for about a week and a half. We taught my family how to play rummy. We played several nights. That was probably the best part. Christmas morning was wonderful. Nate wrote me a song. It was beautiful. I sure am lucky to have him in my life. After Christmas we drove up Pennsylvania to see Dan, Britten, Dawson, Annie, and Sammi Jo! It was so great to see them. On New Years Eve, Nates mom flew into Atlantic City and meet us in Hershey PA to ring in the new year!! The tiny babies slept through most of it. It was still really nice to be out and about(freezing). A few days later we met up with Nate's dad in NYC! We were able to spend some time in time square! we had some delicious BBQ and headed to THE GREAT WOLF LODGE!!! (If you have never been, PLEASE go. You WILL NOT REGRET it!!) It was really nice to be with Nate's parents, Dan and Britten and the babies. Sadly we had to head back to SLC a few days later. That was a really, REALLY long, sad drive home. Overall, it was a wonderful road trip!!
• Since that vacation it has been all work for nate at school and mostly play for me. I had been looking for a job since the beginning of January. I was having a really hard time finding one. I did get to spend alot of time with family thought. I really love spending time with the kids in our family!!
• The next big thing that happened was that we got to go to south florida for spring break!! 11 days in paradise was just what we needed! Nate and i drove down to Las Vegas to catch a flight down to see his parents! Luckly we took jetblue. This was the first day of the March Madness tournament. We got to watch almost every game from 32,000 feet. We slept in everyday while we were there. The first part of the trip was fun because Nate and dad installed cabinets and appliances. While the boys were doing their thing, we drove around florida, top down in the convertible soaking up the warm sunshine that ft lauderdale had to offer. A few days into the trip we got some sad news. Britten got really sick and was probably not bringing down her family. We had been planning on going to Orlando to spend a few days in Disney World. So, we waited and waited for the ultimate decision. After being in and our of the hospital for 3 days, Brit left the hospital got in their car and they drove to the airport to fly to orlando!! She is such a super mom :) Our 3 days in Disney were magical!! i got as many funnel cakes as my little self could eat within 72 hours! some with fruit topping and ice cream and some with powered sugar!! Seeing Sammi on the ride "its a small world" was probably the best part!! First day was at Magic Kingdom. Brit got sick and left to go sleep for a while. We rode all the rides! it was really fun! Second day was animal kingdom! There are some freaky rides there!! We rode the rapids ride twice! We all got soaked!! Dawson didnt get as wet as he would have liked. It was really fun though! Our last day was at Hollywood Studios. There are not so many rides there. Mostly shows. The Aerosmith ride WAS AWESOME!! (thanks brit for pushing me into the chair and securing me into the ride, i needed a little push). We rode that ride the most!! It was just so fun!! Bright and early on day 4 of being in orlando we had to say goodbye to the babies and brit and dan. We drove back to ft lauderdale. we took a water taxi around the canals and saw all the GIGANT houses and privates yaht's. and went to nates favorite place in town! the rustic inn! Nate and dad chowed down on several pounds of crab legs. It was really fun to see those two go at it! Our last day in Ft Lauderdale was really fun! we drove down to the keys and went snorkeling!! It was so sweet!! however, our boat got back really late and we had to HURRY back to the condo, pack our bags so we could catch our flight back to Vegas. Our flight left at 8:10. We got to the airport at 8:00. We ran through the airport and got onto the plane as they were shutting the doors. It was really close!! we didnt get to say a proper goodbye to mom and dad but, it was a really wonderful vacation!!
• Finally, i am back in st george. I have just started up another archaeology dig with some really great old friends of mine. I am away from nate during the week. Its been hard, but hopefully in a few weeks time he will be down here with me. Making money and eating snow cones :)

WOW!! so, i guess there was alot to say. And this doesnt even really cover it. Sorry there are no pics, ill try to be better. i pinky promise :)
