a little update...

just for starters, no i haven't already forgotten about this blog, or my resolution to write in it, but i've decided that our lives are rather boring-lol :) I'll try not to bore people too much. :)

This weekend we finally got to go to church! :) It was really nice, and was Quintin Jorgensen's farewell. His mother gave a really heart wrenching talk, based on a letter that she wrote to him about things that a mother would like to tell her son before he goes on a mission (fancy that!) and like any well brought up son, he was balling his eyes out (go mom!) :)

and just to clear up any possible rumors! Nick and I are NOT fighting-lol this Sunday the missionaries asked me if I could sit in the back as an investigator was supposed to come and they wanted me to sort of flag her over so she could have someone to sit with, I don't think that they realized that a different investigator had called Nick the night before for a ride to church, and we didn't want him sitting alone either, so we decided to sit in different spots. :) The female investigator (Jess) didn't end up coming, (she got lost) and for Sunday school Nick went with Kurt,(the male investigator) to gospel principles, while I went to regular Sunday school. I was just waiting for the rumors to start flying! :)

On a side note, I have been asking the missionaries for over a year to be able to go out with them (with Nick of course), and until this Sunday have not seen the fruits of that yet. Nick and I were able to go with the missionaries to meet Jess at her house Sunday Night. She seems like a great person, and makes me think back to when I was an investigator, and brings back some nice memories. But on another note, it is nice to see an answer to prayer, as I've really been wanting to go out and help spread the gospel for quite some time. I hope I helped at least a little bit!

Tomorrow Nick and I had plans to go to the temple with his parents, but as they say, "there is opposition in all things". We've just leared of a HUGE snowstorm that's going to come late tonight/early tomorrow. Somewhere between 6 and 18inches I've heard, as you can never tell in New England. So we plan to go on Saturday for the 4 o'clock session. Anyone else interested?!

Besides all of that (I suppose our lives aren't as boring as I first thought) as I think I've told Nick about 10 times in the last 3 days, I believe this is going to be a year of babies. I currently know 3 people who are pregnant! (and no one of them is not me) of course that doesn't come anywhere near the 18 that Ariane knows, but I don't even think I know 18 people who are in their child bearing ages-lol

Congratulations to all!

Snow Day!

:) so with the new year, comes some new resolutions, and one of them for me, is to begin actually writing in this blog. I'll do a quick update of the last year

We got married!

We went to Orlando, FL for our Honeymoon! (and no, the color coordinating wasn't on purpose)

We went camping in Palmayra, NY! ...and made a pit stop at Niagra Falls! (where this photo comes from)

We saw the Oscar Mayer Wiener mobile!

We had our first christmas!

Nick started college for his Associates in Accounting (eeww! but hey, if he likes math that much...and he does..it's a great choice for him!) the plan from there is to get his Bachelors but he's not sure if he'll get it there at Hesser college or at another school. (Hesser only offers a Bachelors in Business Management with an emphasis on Accounting, and Nick might just want to stick with a Bachelors in Accounting)

so there we go! a whole years events summed up! now i'm up to date! :)

as for today, this is the second snow day in a row that we've had on Sunday. I'm not complaining because that means that Nick and I get to sleep in which is a rarity seeing as we both wake up at about 5am every morning to get to work. So, as sad as this sounds, being able to sleep in until 8am is HUGE! :) (our bodies don't let us sleep in much later than that, otherwise we would!) so the plan for today is lots of playing WoW (World of Warcraft) and Nick has to get some reading done for school. Other than that...who knows! It's just nice to be able to have a day off to completely relax and enjoy.
