Five

 

I can't believe that its already been 5 years since Bryce and I were married. A lot has happened in the past 5 years and we have so much coming up. This next year will be exciting with baby coming in about a month or so (I'll be full term in 3 weeks!) and Bryce finishing school in April. I look forward to what will come our way in the next 5, 10, 20 years and beyond!

25

Bryce and I both turn 25 today. Yes, for those of you who didn't know, my husband and I share the same birthday. Its kind of weird, but kind of cool at the same time. Last night we went to dinner with my best friends, Kileen and her husband and Jessica. It was delicious (fried pickles at Texas Roadhouse made my day). After dinner we came home, watched our backed up DVR, and played some xBox before bed. I had rehearsal today for a few hours today and we are now going to run some errands, do some fun shopping and go to dinner, just the two of us. We are still trying to decide where. 25 is a big number and this will be a big year for us. Just a few things coming up:

• I am finishing my master's degree and giving my final required recital
• Baby Nielson is coming this July
• Our 5th anniversary this June

Note to self...

no matter how skinny you feel on any particular day, never, I mean NEVER change into your skinny jeans to look cute for a night out... and then go to Rodizio Grill (or any other Brazilian all-you-can-eat type place). Everything is so delicious, I had to try it all, which meant by the time we were leaving, I felt like I was going to pop. Needless to say, I unbuttoned those skinny jeans as soon as we got to the car. It was a WONDERFUL birthday dinner with the hubby.

Birthday

This is unfortunately not how we will be spending our birthday (at a castle in Scotland). Instead, we have class all day, will be attending my teacher's recital, not having jury duty (so happy I got out of that one), and then going to dinner. Oh yeah, if you didn't know, Bryce and I have the same birthday. Just a few things that happened last year:

• Ali graduated from college and began her master's degree
• Bryce decided on a for sure major (Computer Science)
• We went to the Grand Canyon for the first time 
• Traveled to Houston a few times
• Ali competed in some singing competitions (got to go to Chicago for one)

Things coming up this year: 

• School and more school
• Going to New York for Memorial Day weekend (Ali is competing in the Classical Singer Convention competition)
• Ali is giving a recital February 10 with her friend Amy
• and more to come!!!

Here's to another great year, hopefully 24 is a good one for us both. 

Three Years

Today is Bryce and my anniversary. We were married 3 years ago in the Houston, Texas Temple and we had our reception at the Hilton Houston, Clear Lake. It was a beautiful wedding. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and everything he does for me. Here are some of the things we've done in the past 3 years:

• lived in Baton Rouge and went to LSU
• moved back to Provo to finish up school at BYU
• adopted 2 kitties
• gone to LA for the 4th of July
• gone to England twice
• lived in 5 different apartments/condos/townhomes

All in all, I would say it has been a good 3 years and I look forward to the next 3 and the next 3 and the next 3 and......

Happy Anniversary

It is two days late, but Bryce and I have been married for 2 years! We spent our anniversary in Scotland as part of our trip to England. Most of the day was spent driving from York, England. Once we got into Edinburgh, we ate dinner and then played cards back at the B&B we were staying at. It was a wonderful day.
