Christmas is Comin.....

So now that Nick and I have DVR I feel like we are watching TV a lot lately. We even got it in two rooms so that when Nick is watching sports I can watch something else if I wanted to. The only problem is that Nick ends up using both TV's to record both football games at the same time so I never get to watch what I want. :) So anyway...since Christmas is coming soon, the TV has been taken over by me with recording movies from ABC family's "Christmas Countdown." I love Christmas shows ( I don't know why). I think Nick is starting to even get more into Christmas. We even got festive last Saturday and ran a 5K for Sub for Santa. It was way hilarious for some reason. We got to stretch with Santa before the race (so classic) and whenever I got tired I would look at Santa in a full blown out suit ahead of everybody and it kept me running. Here are some pictures of the day.

Honeymoon to the Dominican Republic

This was the best vacation after a stressful three months...so perfect!! We both kept thinking, "this is too good to be true." We had a lot of funny inside jokes and were surprised we got back okay...NOBODY SPEAKS ENGLISH THERE. They were pretty hilarious though. :)


Okay so I am pretty new at this bloggin' business so I don't know how to put this picture at the end, but the picture above is when we had to leave and we were "frownie-facing" it. So sad to leave.





We got to play some ball on the beach with the Germans. They were way intense and knew how to play the game. But when Nick and I beat them on the first try they were pretty mad actually. It was funny. I couldn't understand what in the world they were saying.




This was the view of the Caribbean right outside our VIP Honeymoon Suite!! So gorgeous!

Halloween -Squirrel and Acorn 2008

This Halloween I would say was a total success!! It was kind of like we were little kids again getting dressed up!! And I have to say that our costumes were Nick's idea. If you can't tell we are a squirrel and an acorn.

Our Story...A lot happens in a Year!

Last year at this time Nick and I were just living the single life . I was living with 10 girls in the avenues and he was living in Pleasant Grove. Until one night I decided to go to Taco Night
and it changed our lives forever. It is crazy how much has happened since last year. Instead of writing every detail I thought I would give a brief timeline of our adventure so far.



October 2007: Taco Tuesday....Nick and I first met. We played ping pong, ate tacos, and got our first impressions. (which were good ones obviously).



November-December 2007: Nick came over to the Estate on the day after Thanksgiving (my favorite day of the year). We played fun games with the roommates and kept trying to sit by eachother. :) That was when I told Jill I had a little crush on Nick.


January 2008: Nick moved to Sugarhouse!!! I was so excited he was moving closer to Salt Lake in hope that he would visit the Estate a little bit more. He says that he moved to salt lake hoping that he could date me. :) Sounds like we both had the same idea... So January 10th we went out on our first date!! It was a major success. We both say how we have never been on a first date like that before.


It was no doubt that we were going on another date....which led to another date...to another date!! Then we decided to be exclusive.

June 2008: Eventually all this exclusive talk led to a marriage talk in June.....this marriage talk let to an engagement!!! We went up to our special bench in the avenues and it was perfect!! I loved my ring and my new husband-to-be.


September 18th, 2008: Nick and Erica Hart....married for time and all eternity in the Bountiful Temple!! Best day of our lives and getting better and better everyday! More pictures of the wedding to come.....
