Jim and Nicole

ENGAGED!!!

2009-04-25T17:56:00.001-07:00

Jim proposed today!!! We've been dating for about 5 months now, and have talked about getting married A LOT! I picked out what kind of rings I liked 2 months ago and he's had the perfect one stored away for the perfect moment! He took me up to Mesa Falls with another couple we're friends with so I wouldn't suspect anything, which I totally didn't because he acted so cool about everything. He took me over the an overlook where I could my first and the most beautiful waterfall ever! He picked up a rock, and asked me if I wanted it...obviously not its dirty! haha.. he asked me what kind I liked and then backed away and got down on one knee. He said my full name and said I could have the ring on one condition....Will you be my wife?? I was crying like a baby the other couple could hear me from like five minutes away I was so hysterical I couldn't belive it. Helloo of course I said YES!!! My ring is beautiful I love it, and I am so in love with my fiance he is so perfect im so happy he is my eternal companion.

March Madness & Easter

2009-04-14T20:01:00.000-07:00

What a busy month! We celebrated 2 birthday's in the month of March, my 19th and jeff's BIG 16! Jim took my to Salt Lake for my birthday and we spent the weekend touring Temple Square and of course the outdoor mall ( Jim's not so favorite part ) after being stuck in a freak snow storm in Logan we finally made it home so I could chow down on some Funfettie birthday cake and hit up Joe's Crab Shack ( my favorite birthday spot )

Easter came so quick after Spring Break, of course the girls had to buy all new outfits and the men of the family had spankin new ties, who wouldn't want to take pictures of us?

My super best friends in Idaho and one of my first friends the sandalls moved away :( it was soo sad to say bye to Bently i'm going to miss him like crazy but I got some good pictures to look back on.

Love my weekends

2009-03-16T18:19:00.000-07:00

Last weekend Jim came down to visit, we always have the best time when he comes down. For a suprised, which ended up NOT being a suprise at all. I made us dinner reservations at the Mona Lisa, what a beautiful restaurant! It felt like we were in paris, we had our own private room called Lover's Lane, there were candles and lights everywhere it was very romantic. The fondue is to die for and I thought I was going to die when I saw our chocolatey desserts mmm soo good!

Rascal Flatts

2009-02-27T15:36:00.000-08:00

As a suprise I got Jim and I ticket to see Rascal Flatts, but complications with his truck made it to hard for him to come down to the concert :( so instead I brought one of my girlfriends Dani and my mom. The concert was so much fun except for Jessica Simpson ( opening act ) she was SUCH a freak.

Happiest Ever

2009-01-12T16:22:00.000-08:00

With Jim off at school I wanted to do something special for him to help him think of me..even though I call him all the time and sent him off with pictures of the two of us :) We've only been together for about a month but this has been the happiest time of my life..and I couldn't ask for anything better. So here's a video I made for him for our big 1 month!! Hope theres many more

Christmas Time

2008-12-26T20:45:00.000-08:00

Christmas is my favorite time of year, I love the snow and of course winter break from school :) I've been so lucky to have my family with me this christmas along with jim's family to celebrate this special time of year! So much has happened this year and having everyone come together so really meaningful to me. Some other nice things I got for Christmas was a little puppy from jim ( stuffed animal puppy ) stuff for my apartment jewlery ( a must! ) and yummy perfume! Jim and I took a little train ride through the mountains today it was soo much fun..the snow was so pretty and the train was decorated like christmas it was SO cute

Christmas Time

2008-12-14T13:40:00.000-08:00

Im finally home from Rexburg for a few months.. it feels good to be home and not have to worry about schoo..homework..and tests :) All the roomies got together with our FHE group and had a christmas party before we all went back home. We didnt have any snow until the day before I left for Boise..we got almost 2 inches and more today whoa! good thing i'm not there i'd be freezing. It was fun to come home and see the snow though even though its the fun to drive in :/. It will be fun being home and visiting with everyone during this christmas season. Enjoy

TWILIGHT

2008-12-03T17:50:00.000-08:00

So i'm one of the many many people who have read twilight and fallen in love with the books. My roomates and I bought advanced tickets to the midnight showing in rexburg. It was soo much fun...there were a ton of high schoolers though who were getting upset that we got moved to the front of a new line. Oh well they'll get over it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

2008-11-01T11:16:00.000-07:00

Halloween was a blast..me marissa and the girls next door, cali, carisa, diane and their friend melissa all went to the black light party at the warehouse right outside of town a little ways. Marissa and I bought pink hair dye, pink eyeliner, and pink fake eyelashes..im not really sure what we dressed up as though except some pretty hot mamas ;)..At first the place was full of 14 year olds dressed..pretty scandelous ( thats a good word ) they were all trying to pick up on the college guys and I guess it worked. But the party did get better..since it was black light we bought white t-shirts and stained them with the stuff thats in glow sticks..along with our hair dye and black paint.

FOOTBALL GAMES

2008-11-01T10:59:00.000-07:00

Our FHE brothers play flag football on the weekends and this past weekend was their play-off game so we all went to cheer them on..however they weren't that great and the other team had pretty good looking players :) we got to keep score..and freeze are butts off! Good thing the guys selling hot chocolate gave me free refills on cocoa ;) they were pretty hott to haha

SAN DIEGO

2008-08-17T17:56:00.000-07:00

In July the family and I flew to San Diego for the week, what a blast. Hit San Diego, the zoo and e

ven our old stompin grounds los angeles. It was our last family vacation before I leave for school and part of my graduation present. Bahia Resort is where we stayed, it was incredible, had its own beach and little area where they saved two baby seals ( so adorable ) We were only 10 minutes away from Sea World so we went there 3 times, night time is the best! shamoo rocks show was by far my favorite. My dad also scored us a spot at the Dolphin Interaction Program, we got in wetsuits and went into the training pool, where we played with our own dolphin named Stimey it was the coolest experience ever!! I'm not much of a zoo person but it was pretty cool, we took the tram most of the way so there wasn't to much walking. The weather was amazing sunny and warm everyday, which is great because I've missed my California tan. The boardwalk was just down the road from the resort, filled with rollar coasters and ten cent surf shops everywhere, it was just like the Santa Monica Pear, soo much fun! Im glad im back home but San Diego was so fun, lots of cute boys too ;)

Her dad and brother go around all over the world and spread rachel's challenges to show kindness and compasion to everyone. She was truly an angel to everyone she met, even if she had never met them before. Rachels challenges were
#1 Eliminate Prejudice

I belive that by spreading kindess we can totally start a chain reaction
if you go to rachelschallenge.com you can accept her challenge and start spreading a chain reaction!
