Our Little Life

So much has happened the last couple months. It seems like there has been so much to do and we've accomplished so much, but time is going by so slow. It has been good and I've been able to enjoy all the fun stuff in life that won't happen very often. 

RJ and I have been married for 2 months on the 22nd. This makes me super happy because it's something that I've wanted for such a long time and now that it's happened it couldn't be any better. RJ and I are happier than ever and I can't complain one bit about anything. Well... if we were millionaires that'd be nice, but I guess you have to work for that. :] 

We went on our honeymoon to Vancouver, Canada which was a blast. It was definitely new and exciting and terrifying to drive around but we were able to spend time with each other and see all the wonderful gorgeous sites that are in Vancouver. My favorite thing we did was go to the Vancouver Aquarium and also hiking through huge gorgeous trees and taking tons of pictures. All in all it was amazing. Even the drive wasn't bad. 

Then once we got home we were in a major rush and we bought a house! To me this is a huge accomplishment that we couldn't have done alone and it has been scary and stressful, but well worth it now that we're in and paying for something that is actually ours. We're currently housing my sister Kacee and RJ's brother Rich which is actually pretty fun too. It's a house full of people, but it has been good. 

We also got 2 little kitties. I love animals. I grew up with a zillion and I've definitely cut back a lot, but it's fun to have the new additions. Their names are Moo and Revee. Moo is just Moo and if you met her you would think her name just matched, and Revee is a slightly modified version of "sleep" in French and actually fits her well as that is what she does most of the day. 

We've been staying very busy but are having so much fun!

~Mad Crazy Life~

Life has been so much fun and hectic lately! I am not officially a Mrs. and not just a Mrs. but a Mrs. Nestman which is the best feeling in the whole world. It is such a great feeling knowing that I've finally wrestled down my best friend and married him forever. I'm pretty excited for the rest of my life. It has been a long time coming and I can't wait for what's going to come next. 

Our wedding went so perfectly. I couldn't have asked for anything better. It was beautiful and my dad made me cry. 

Also, we're buying a house! It's been a long process with a little bit of frustrations and saving money but it's been well worth it and I'm really excited to buy a house with RJ and make it ours and invite everyone over to see it. It makes me feel so good. I can't really imagine life being any better than it is now. I really couldn't ask for more. 

I'm really grateful for my husband. (haha. So weird to say..) He really makes life all worth it and I can't imagine my life without him. He makes everyday fun and special. I want to be a good wifey and cook him dinner and wash his clothes just so that he is happy, which in turn makes me happy. haha. 

Anyway.. I'm not going to be grossly romantic anymore, but life is good. I'm happy.

This year has been crazy already and it just started! I can tell it's going to be an exciting year. RJ and I are moving in a couple of weeks. Our lease is up and we're moving from the condo we're in now, across the street to The Village on Main Street apartments. It's funny because we're moving from Centerville to Bountiful and we're just moving across the street. RJ and I laughed about it, but then again we're easily amused. 

So it's been hectic trying to clean our house and pack up everything we have. Plus we're moving from a 2 bedroom apartment to a 1 bedroom so we have to condense all of our crap which I'm not quite as excited about. 

I have the winter jitters. I am getting antsy for spring for so many reasons. One because despite all my grumbling last year to RJ, I really miss mountain biking. I didn't realize how much of a de-stresser it really is. I can't wait to peddle up Mueller Park yelling at RJ that I'm not going to speak to him for an entire day if he doesn't slow down. haha. [sadly, this is a true story and has happened once.. or twice before]. 

I'm also excited to be looking forward to buying a house and planting roots. I am excited to own something that I can paint the colors I like and also if I don't like the way the tile looks in the bathroom I can change it anytime I want. I am so ready to become a domesticated housewife with a garden and chickens. I know it sounds lame, but you just don't have a home without a chicken or two grazing around your backyard. [I'm such a country girl, it's pathetic]. 

I saved the best for last. The thing I am most excited for in spring is to GET MARRIED. I know it seems like this is all I talk about but I just can't help it. I'm also really really nervous. You kind of have a point where you realize your entire life is going to change and that you have to make major decisions that will last forever. I'm still very excited but you get the.. wait.. I'm doing what?! thoughts every now and again. I love RJ more than anything and I want us to be married forever and always. I have no doubt that we will.

I love winter for so many reasons. Life slows down, you get to wear layers and cute scarves and beanies and gloves, but I'm waiting [impatiently] for spring to get here so that it can bring so many things that I enjoy.

Winter Time

It has been 2 months and a day since I last posted a blog. I fail at this whole blogging thing. Not that I don't have anything to say... but is what I have to say worth saying? We're pretty much the most boring couple ever. But... I'm going to type away anyway. What have we done in the past 2 months and 1 day...
-There was Halloween. We dressed up as Emo people. It was fun. RJ even wore eyeliner! He looked so Jack Sparrow-y that I just wanted to kiss him. haha.
-There was Thanksgiving. We spent the morning at RJ's parents house eating Cindy's wonderful food and talking and laughing. Then we went up to my mom's house in Idaho and had Thanksgiving all over again. We consumed a lot of food in one day. But the pumpkin pie at the end of the day was all worth it.
-There was CHRISTMAS TIME! I am so excited for Christmas this year. December has been so much fun. RJ and I have tried to get out as much as possible. Sundays are usually our designated "we hate work so we're going to do something fun" day. 2 weeks ago we went on a hike up the canyon and then we drove to Park City and walked around and window shopped at the Outlet stores. Don't tell him, but I think RJ is the most maniac driver in the whole entire country and he always wants to go four wheeling up through the snow. WHY?! What did I do to deserve this? haha.
I am totally kidding. I think RJ is the most amazing, gorgeous, smartest guy I know and I am so excited to get married. It's getting closer! One hundred and twenty seven days.. but whose counting right? ;] As our wedding is getting closer both of us are getting more excited and we keep talking plans and I keep eyeballing my wedding dress. It's going to pretty much be the best day of my life.
I'm really sappy I know, but we can't help it. Anyway... I'll write again. Hopefully not 2 months and a day from now. Peace out.

It bugs me that they don't have the font I want.. Grr.
Anyway.. I've jumped on the wagon and decided to make MY blog into OUR blog. Trendy I know.
RJ and I... I love that. We're getting married for everyone that doesn't know. I'm pretty excited. It's scary and overwhelming sometimes but it'll definitely be worth the planning. Everyone keeps telling us to elope and go to Vegas, but I'm excited to experience such a fun and monumental day together. We don't have too many plans yet but I know the general idea that I want it to be.

We're completed step one: We got the dress.
My mom and I went to lunch with Suzy! [I love her] and while we were down in Provo my mom begged me to stop in at David's Bridal. I didn't really want to but she coaxed me into it and it turned into a really great experience. I liked knowing that the person that has watched me grow up was there to see me so happy and to be part of this. I found the perfect dress!!! I am so excited to wear it. I'm excited to see RJ's face when I'm wearing it. haha. Is that a girl thing or just me?

We're also trying to buy a house:
That one is a little scarier to me than spending the rest of my life with RJ. It seems like such a big idea. But I'm ready to dive right in!

Anyway...

Keep up with our blog. I don't know how often it'll get updated or it may turn into everyday!
