Its the thought that counts, right?

I wanted to make Nick a fuzzy hat for Christmas and once I had finished it, it was huge! It looked like a black wig or a purse! We got a good laugh out of it.

I loved playing with it. Doesn't it look like I have black hair? Or maybe I do? haha

Nick was so nice, he said "ah thanks, honey!" The nice guy he is, he would have worn it if I was determined that it looked good! I didn't make him wear it. Besides to take pictures to laugh at!
See how huge this is? I guess that's what happens when you use big needles for this kind of yarn!

I'm new at this..dur

Ok you will have to forgive my last post...it looks terrible! I am still new at this blogging thing. Since I loose my patience trying to fix it is gonna stay or I'll just delete it in frustration. I will try better from here on out!

Ice Fishing at Palasades!

Nick and I decided to go ice fishing this last Saturday. When I say we I actually mean 'me' lol. I have to explain to those that don't know this but I hate being cold. Nick on the other hand loves winter and the coolness. However, we are a strange couple because we sleep with the window open and the heat turned down to 59 degrees every night. This obviously violates everything I have just said. So I have decided that if I can be bundled up in








either a blanket or tons of layers in this case I am ready to rock and roll. As I asked Nick if we could go ice fishing he seemed hesitant because he knows I hate the cold. As the day came closer and closer I was becoming anxious because I love to fish!! YAY! As we rolled out of bed at 6 am with both of us mumbling under our breath, we were ready. Once we arrived at Palisades Dam, I was crazy excited. We basically rolled down the side to the ice and set up camp. A couple actually fell through the ice on the edge and got their boots and legs wet. I felt really bad. Nick also got his feet wet, poor guy, so he was miserably cold. He didn't get much fishing in because he was trying to dry his socks and shoes with the little space heater in the warming hut. I on the other hand had my toes and fingers crossed because dang it, I needed a fish! haha I wanted fish for dinner so badly! I got two nibbles and I thought I was gonna rip the line out of the water without even rolling up my line! Besides getting wet and being cold we both had a great time enjoying the scenery. Two other guys caught a fish each, both a white rainbow averaging around 17 inches long (yeah crazy huh, you can imagine how jealous I was!). As I have already concluded I am getting stuff to go ice fishing on our own. Nick will be joining me when we hook him up with some sweet warm gear. Watch out fish, I have my eye on you! ;)

Our lovely 500 ft apartment

This is our first apartment so therefore, we have to post pics! It is pretty small but man it is way easy to clean. I can clean the entire apartment spotless in less than two hours! How sweet is that!? We love it because it has everything that we need which includes three of the most important things: A washer/drier, a dishwasher, and internet. We also found out that we have A/C, it takes like 15 minutes to cool it down and about the same to heat it up! ;) This is where we call home and we love it! Oh and we love our new table, it has tall chairs so you can dangle your feet! haha

November carriage ride

So Nick was in IBC last semester. This is basically a bundle of classes that comes up with a business idea and manages it for a semester as a real business. Nick's group did cookie dough. We ended up buying like 4 large tubs just to make sure he would get a good grade because his grade depended on how well his business did.

Nick surprised me with a date on a carriage ride. It was really fun and we had a great night out. I also snapped a shot of the temple where we were married April 18, 2008. Enjoy

October Hay Maze

Since I am doing catch up, this was back in October. Nick and I went to the Hay maze outside of Rexburg. Supposedly this hay maze is haunted. I was scared not because it is haunted but because when I get scared, my reaction is to punch or fight back. So I was like oh great I need to restrain myself! However, we were lucky and I never had to fight off any goblins from attacking Nick or I! The maze was sooo much fun and we enjoyed it so much that we went through twice and almost went through again a third time! We ended our nice date with a steamy, hot chocolate!

My apple pie..I had to make it like 3 times before it came out right.
