Oh Baby!

This week was nuts!

Sadly I don't have pictures! I'm always in the moment of everything and forget! I promise to try harder next time!

This week was actually boring... Nic just had school and I had work & it's really all a blur... this weekend however was nice! Friday night Nic and I decided that we needed some new fall clothes. So we set out to find Nic a new fall jacket, and me some cardis and jeans! We might have gotten more than we intentionally went for... but we were bargain shoppers!

 I love that the two most important men in my life appreciate good style! My dad was the one that would always take me shopping. He doesn't have any sons so sadly that's the only way to bond with his daughters ;) Nic gives credit to England (He was born there and then went there on his mish) for his picky taste in shirts, shoes, and well... everything, but it's nice that he doesn't mind going to the mall with me!

Saturday was an amazing, but busy day! In the morning Nic and I went to my co-workers baptism. Can I just say that the Church is true? Yes I can it's my blog! It was so great to see him take that step in life and make that covenant with Heavenly Father! Of course I bawled like a baby... Nic was good support. ;) Some of the cool parts were the musical numbers. Cody and his family is Samoan, and goodness... do they have the prettiest voices! It was all so beautiful! It made me think about my baptism... I don't remember too much besides the fact that it was on my birthday, and my Mom and Step-Dad got married! I remember getting a CTR ring, but Cody will remember that day! I know that Cody will go far and that the Lord loves him!

Then it was off to my sister-in-laws baby shower!! My sister-in-law Heather is due in 4 weeks with baby Easton! I'm so excited! It will be fun to have another baby in the family! This will my 2nd blood related nephew. The only sad part is we might be out of the state by the time he gets to that adorable chubby stage :(
The shower was a lot of fun though! We played some great games and I got to try out this new sugar cookie recipe (boy was that an event). Heather got a lot of cute things! I LOVE baby clothes! They're so small and tiny!

Just when I was ready to tell Nic that I wanted to start having children, we went babysitting that night. My cousin Katie and her husband Jason got to go to the U of U vs. BYU game (next time Y, next time) while we babysat their 2 year old and 2 month old! Now these are probably some of the MOST well behaved, cutest children I have ever babysat, but boy are kids work! It was great to get some baby time in though! I loved it! They're so fun and it was great to see Nic play with them, but we are definitely fine with waiting just a little bit longer to have children of our own!

I feel bad about not having pictures so here are some!

Nic obviously wanted to marry me just for the month I was born in because his Grandma Sharline, Grandma Sonya, AND mom all have September birthdays! So here's a shout out to my wonderful new family! Happy Birthdays!!!

                                       September is also the month my big brother was born in! Jake is the one that is going to be a dad soon! I'm so proud of him!

We can't forget that lovely lady on the left of me! Cherise Cragun! Cherise has been my other mom for 10 years and I love her dearly! If any of you came to my reception it was her backyard! She worked so hard to make it perfect for me and Nic! I love her so much and we are so thankful to have her in our lives! Her birthday is coming up soon and she deserves to be showered with lots of love!

Jake really likes September... Jake and Heather's anniversary is also on my birthday, September 4th... I'll be honest... when I found out they were getting married on my birthday I was not happy, but now I always remember they're anniversary, and they always remember my birthday! They celebrated their 3rd anniversary! They're such a great example to me and Nic and have always been there!

September truly is one of the best months around!

Well there you have it! Not too exciting to read about, but it's been a blast! Hopefully I'll have more pictures next time!

Love,

Havin' Fun at 21!

These past two weeks have sort of been a bitter-sweet feeling. Especially for Nic! Nic started school two weeks ago and his last semester is going to be a big one! Although, it is fun having him come home and tell me what he's been learning about muscles and nerves in the body!

(Here's Nic starting his first day of his last semseter.)

 Nic starting school also means less work hours for him so I am now working longer hours... You think working at a call center would be a piece of cake, and it kinda is, but it can surely make for a long day! Especially when people aren't as nice as you hope! Also, not to mention that my friends and I at work all started working different hours. :( I do have to give my job some credit though, the hours are extremely flexible, and I did win $10 this week!

 On the brighter side this week has had a lot of fun in it also!! IT WAS MY 21st BIRTHDAY!! It was also my first birthday as a married woman! Nic was so good at making me feel special! And holy smokes! So was my new mother-in-law! Nic told me that a package was coming to me and I was so excited! I was expecting a few gift cards, but nope! In the package was a big pink purse with my name on it, a pink watch with rinestones, some Burtsbee's chapstick, and Amazon gift cards! The Amazon gift cards were for a sewing machine!!

I got it in the mail on Thursday and I am so stoked to start all of my projects!! Be prepared for blogs on my crafts! I'm so thankful for such a kind and giving mother-in-law! She only has two boys so it's so fun to be her new daughter! Nic was so great as well! He went above and beyond! He got me a new cell phone cover and screen protector... and..... NEW SWEATS!!!

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a sweataholic. In the winter time it's all I wear! After Nic proposed I discovered the event was almost going to happen in sweats! Nic had to sneakily get me to change and I'm so glad he did! Also that night he took me to Red Lobster (in our sweats) where we tried their endless shrimp. Nic and I tried so hard to eat all we could! I don't think they expected us to eat so much, yet have so many left overs... what can I say I'm a hoarder... but they still sang to me with a lobster!

It was great! Then we went star gazing! It was perfect! I feel like that was a lot of talking about me, but I am truly thankful for my loved-ones that remembered and wrote on my wall! I even appreciate my mom who was out of town, but hurried and called on a dead battery ;)

Also something excited for Nic was that he started ultimate frisbee, and man, the kid was on fire!! One thing I have learned being married is that Nic NEEDS sports, or else none of us are happy! My best friend's husband plays on the same team so it was fun to be in a little cheer section with her! I didn't get any picture's... I need to be better at that... We had dinner with so many great friends over the week also and I got nothin' to show for it! Next time though!

 Welp! Stay tuned for next week! It's my sister-in-laws baby shower!! I'm so excited to have a new addition to the family! Love Always, The Bibeaus
