My Birthday!

Nate and I went out the weekend before my birthday and had many laughs. For anyone that knows Nate they know he doesn't like his picture taken, so I had to beg him for this "birthday" photo of the two of us...... so cute. But the best ever were my presents from him! First, he got me a new phone & I love it. Second, which is my favorite, he got us tickets to go see the musical Wicked in January. I love musicals and now I get to finally go see one... thanks babe, I love you tons. Thanks for such a great birthday.

The night before my "actual" birthday, Nate and I went out for drinks and dinner with my dad and Lynne. We had lots of fun and there were tons of laughs. We ate at Texas Roadhouse for dinner, they have the most amazing dinner rolls! My big mouth ended me up on a saddle in the restaurant with the staff singing to me.... HA HA!

Then all of my awesome co-workers had a cake and cards for me... They are so cute. And of course they got me wine.... oh how they know what I like :)

Trip to Albany

This past weekend Nate, Yukon and I went to Albany to visit our friend John and his dog Roxy. He just bought a cute new house with lake rights, so we went there to check out the new place and to do some fishing. It was such a beautiful weekend, we had awesome fall weather!! Too bad we didn't catch any fish, but we still had a fun time on the lake. I took some pictures of us on the lake in the canoes....it's a new NY state law that you have to wear a life jacket when you're in a small boat. It's annoying, but much safer. Yukon and Roxy had so much fun together. They played outside all day and by the end of the night they were exhausted.... they are so cute....they're sleeping in eachother's beds. HA HA

He was not happy having to wear that life jacket the whole time.

We are so appreciative to our friend John for letting us stay... we had a great weekend! Thanks John!

Happy Birthday Nathan James!!

Happy Birthday Love!!

I love this picture of us. It was at Nate's Senior Ball when he was just 17 and I was 16. We have been through a lot in the past 13 years....it's been a roller coaster ride. For those of you that really know "us" you know what I am talking about. I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful, patient man in my life....I don't know where I would be without him.

Meeting him when I was 15 years old in our highschool Spanish class, was a true blessing from God. Now that I look back on my life....(well the 27 years that I have been around) I can't believe that I "made it" with out Nate. Moving to Utah was one of the hardest things I ever had to do....I had to leave Nate behind. It was utterly heart wrenching. Although I did make it out there, it always felt like something was missing. I made wonderful girlfriends out there that I still talk to today, but there was something still missing. After all that we "went through" the 6 years we were away from eachother, we found one another again. I am so blessed by God to have Nate in my life. I love him with all of my heart and soul...I thank him for being so wonderful to me. I have truly found my soul mate, my best friend and I am having the time of my life. That being said...Babe I wish you the Happiest Birthday in the whole wide world. I love you more and more each day. Thank you for being so wonderful.
