Not an expert..

...and Nick took me on a run Saturday at Park City that HONESTLY looked like this!!
To say the least...It was SO not fun for me! The sign said "Expert Terrain Only" and I thought it would be fine. I can usually handle the black diamonds but...had I known "expert" would have been on a completely different level I would have never taken the lift. I am definitely not an expert!!



But Nick and I have SEASON passes to Park City this year FREE of charge (thanks to my mom and the cool new car she bought)..so we are taking advantage of it and it has been WAY fun! (bad quality pictures from the cell phone..sorry!)

Broken Hand

Nick broke a finger in his hand playing church basketball. Things can get brutal and intense over there!

I also have to give a mention to how proud I was of Nick yesterday for being an advocate for me as a dietitian. Somebody at his work wanted to lose weight really fast before her wedding. So she asked him what I would recommend as a dietitian for her to do. Well...he said EXACTLY what I would have said to her. He told her that it isn't about a "quick fix" but an overall healthy relationship with food (yes...Nick said this!). And he encouraged her to follow the 90/10 rule (meaning to eat healthy 90% of the time..fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and fish..and 10% of the time allowing yourself to indulge in those foods you love.) Of course she didn't want to hear that...but maybe someday it will click for her. But...good job Nick!! Thanks for supporting all my ideas and being a dietitian's ideal husband!

Sushi Night

Just and FYI...this is not a take-out sushi night...but our very own Sushi made AT OUR HOUSE! (Thank you dad for the sushi making kit for Christmas)

It was way exhausting but totally worth it. :) Just using Nick's perfectionist skills for my own personal advantage. He loves doing stuff like this! And I love that he loves doing stuff like this!

For two little people...

...and this King size bed...we have never slept so good in our lives!! It was worth every penny!

Thanks for all your encouraging words to make this dream happen!

Christmas is OVER...and Spring needs to come SOON!

Why does the Christmas season go by TOO fast? I always wish that it would last one more month. But I think we made the best of it this year. This is our new Christmas tree (purchased on Black Friday of course...favorite day of the year). It was fun setting it up in our new house. Except it makes our house look so cute I don't want to take it down! We still are working on filling up the house with new furniture...so it will have to look bare again until next Christmas. :)

Favorite parts of December would include:

• Going all the way to Preston, ID and seeing the light show they decided to stop doing THIS year! So much for the long drive. We did buy some lottery tickets though...$2 in the negative when we left.

• Seeing all of the family of course and just hanging out!

• Seeing old friends that came into town!

• Eating like kings and queens every other night at different Christmas Festivities. :)

• Going to the Roof (Hart Family Tradition)

• Watching home movies

• Nick finishing his fall semester finals---(hardest semester so far). One more semester to go before graduation!
  

• Being with Nick of course...2nd Christmas together...they keep getting better!

We cooked up this Christmas Eve, Eve meal together and it was AMAZING! Thanks to my favorite cooking website of all (dietitian approved)....www.eatingwell.com. This website never fails me and makes the house smell AMAZIN'.

Tis the season for

...Snuggies!

We LOVE our Snuggies and I am proud to admit it. And no..this is not our dog. We borrowed him to dress him up in our doggie snuggie.

Everytime we put on our Snuggies...this happens:

"Snuggie Dance"

One year...lots of events!!

Lucky I'm in Love with My Best Friend!

It has been one year (on September 18th) since we tied the knot! It has gone by so fast but looking back on the year...a lot has happened!! Here are some long overdue wedding pics!





Nobody could make me happier than Nick. I am a very lucky girl. Here are some pictures from our anniversary!


So after work Nick took me on a surprise little trip around Salt Lake to all of the places we went on our first date! He gave me gifts at every place with a cute note! We talk about that first date all the time because it was the best date both of us have ever had! So..it was fun to re-live our first date on our FIRST anniversary!! Here are some pics!


We ate the top of our wedding cake and it was...ummm....not so good a year old. :) But it was such a cute cake I had a hard time throwing it away! I wish we could get married all over again...it was the perfect day and so much fun!

Nick actually proposed to me on this bench in Salt Lake. We ate lunch here for part of our anniversary celebration. :) I love this place! We go up here from time to time and just hang out.

I had to post this picture of Nick!! I think it is so cute of him! He is the best husband, always makes me laugh, makes me more of a balanced person.... and I am so glad that I get to have even more memories!
