4X4

OK, here's the game-

In your picture files, go to the 4th album, then go to the 4th picture. Show & tell. Then go down 4 more albums, go to the 4th picture, and show & tell. Do this 4 times (if you can) to get a total of 4 pictures.

Ready, get set, go!

As uncomfortable as he looks, he was perfectly happy here!
I was at school and I was eating my lunch in the car when I notice this squirrel. He was staring down a bright red car parked in front of him!
There's not much I can say about this one besides look at my boys! So adorable!
And now I'm out of pictures. Your turn!

07-07-2008 The best day of my life, so far =)

Were coming up on our 1 year anniversary very soon! It actually went by like a blur, so I'm looking forward to many, many more anniversary's. We want to do something big, something amazing to celebrate it. We thought about going on a horse drawn carriage ride downtown and then going to see a play (which I've never been to one before). The only problem is that there are no plays on that day =( Miguel thinks that we should go later to a show and celebrate it then, but I want to celebrate it on the day. My idea was to go skydiving, but Miguel just won't have it. So what do you think? Were looking for suggestions for our anniversary!

Date nights!

Sometimes movie nights are my favorite! I have to admit, I am one of those people that get so tied up in sitcoms, and I could watch movies all day long. So going out with my sweetheart and sharing a movie together (and personal commentary) is a blast for me. The movie we watched was The Hangover, and it was pretty funny but I wouldn't suggest children watching it. Sometimes movies have an impact on me because I can see part of myself in the characters that I either like or don't like. So in the movie the "Dr's" girlfriend is a complete b****! While on the other hand the woman getting married was so understanding and laid back, and I realized that I want to be more like that! I heard on the radio about a couple, I believe the longest marriage in the United States, that has been married for 80 years! Wow, so how did they keep things so great for so long? When the woman commented she said something close to " We still cuddle, we don't fight, a good marriage take a lot of understanding and forgiveness, you should always laugh together and talk together, and don't forget to have a little bit of exercise." It really touched me, what she said, and I'm probably not doing it any justice. It made me stop and think that even though you have that good connection, and I mean that really great once-in-a-lifetime love connection, you still have to put some work into it to keep it great. When the man responded to the question of how they were able to keep things great for so long he simply responded "she never gets mad at me." So I'm going to try this, God be with me. I'm going to try to go with out getting mad at Miguel for things, and I believe I can do it if I remind myself of the bigger picture. We'll see!

To scrapbook or not?

I figured that I would try my hand at it, what do you think?

The facts of life

My friends are getting married and having children and while I am so very happy for them I also get a ting of what's got to be jealousy. When I look on Facebook or Myspace and surf people's profiles I often come across classmates with diamond rings and babies on their hips, and even though I am so glad that I am able to go out and do whatever with my life I am still a little bit sad. I can see Miguel and me there, and I can see it being wonderful. I think that sometimes I get to wanting us to be there so bad, that I forget to stop and enjoy the "us" that we have now. This is a great "us". Here are a few of the things that make us so great:

• Personal jokes- they are the best, we can just go on and on joking about whatever. It can be the funniest thing to us and no one else would understand.
  
• Cuddle time (of course)
  
• We get along living together so great and with such ease while some couples can take a long time to get in sync with each other in that way.
  
• I love his friends; they are the type of people I would pick to be friends with myself.
  
• We might not finish each other's sentences, but only because we beat each other to the sentence. There are so many times that I go to say something and he spits it out before I can.
  
• We both love being active and doing different things. Hiking, biking, and camping with Miguel has become some of my most favorite times!
  
• He always pushes me in a way that I need, and I love him more and more for it every time.
  
• I never stop wanting to make him happy, to surprise him or make him laugh. I'll act in the stupidest ways and say the stupidest things because I know it will make him laugh.
  

So here's to stopping to smell the roses, they are gorgeous and pleasantly fragrant roses that I could smell for a long time!

Love,

Hanging out with nature

So here we are again! It's been a while since my last post, so I am posting another update into the lives of the happy couple. Last weekend we went with friends to the Frio, in Garner State Park, and let me tell you that it was AMAZING! The water was cold and nature was in full swing. We camped out, we floated, and we hiked. I so wished that I had remembered my camera, but unfortunately it sat the whole weekend on the counter at home. Luckily a friend was able to snap a few pics of us....

This was in the Frio right out side of our camp site.

I think this was a great pic of Miguel and Nicole.

There were more pictures but I'm waiting for the rest, I'll post them when I get them!
