family pics.. Sorensen's (Nicks Aunt and Uncle)

Utah. a place we call home...

We came to visit family and be a part of the Sealing of Nick's Uncle Scott and Aunt Corrie, to their two children Macy and Jaxton that were apodted from Ethiopia... We are so excited to be here, and be able to share this amazing times in life with them.

This is going to be my first time to see a sealing including children. I know it will be amazing. It is just a wonderful blessing, that members of the Church get to experience. I am so happy for them. We have got to meet the new little members to the family since being here, and they are just PRECIOUS! I have a HUGE love for that chocolate skin... I can't stop hugging them! I want to take them home with me already!!!!

Last night Nick had the reunion softball game with all his HS buddies.... I told him that he needed to hit me a homerun... HE said I already have the ultimate homerun!!! He is such a romantic! ;O) They won by a ton because they had my super star!!! After the game I got to witness the FAMOUS ICEBERG milkshake!

I must say there is not a more beautiful place I have been in the fall. Yesterday, we were in Park City at the you know where.... (Outlets... shhh!) The weather was PERFECT! Breezy and beautiful! Sun shining through the mountain tops... It is just so relaxing...

We went and ate at our FAV chinese place in Park City, and as usual was such a delight! General Tao's and Pork Lo Mein. Don't forget.. Steamed dumplings to start out. It is called Sechwan... I am sure I murdered that spelling.

Just being at all the places here, the smells, the veiws....

They all kinda give me butterflies in my tummy....

This is where I fell in LOVE...

For that I will always feel at HOME!

(I know kinda gooey! I have to speak the truth)

9.9.09

Funny story...

Nick and I both had come from bad relationships when we started dating....

We were both very hesitant to let ourselves fall in love, and get hurt most of all.

We had known each other since I was 12 and he was 18... but it didn't really matter. We both had issues trusting another person, and even trusting ourselves about how we feel towards another.

We knew that deep down one another were great people, and had been all those years.. but it was still tough. It was tough to put yourself out there, even if it would end up that we were perfect for each other.

We had this ideal picture in our minds of what we wanted our marriages to be like... We were going to be sure that we had that for the rest of our lives, if we made such a commitment.

We hit things off in the beginning like we had known each other for years and years... OH WAIT we had. Try 9.

One day, after only dating a few months, we were diving through the Canyons when I was up visiting. We were talking about our future and our feelings towards one another. We had so much to work out ...

Location... He was building homes up there, and I owned a salon here

Religion ... I grew up Baptist, and he was a CRAZY Mormon

Timing... Both were scared to death about getting serious with someone

It seemed as if nothing was working in our favor.

But we were falling hard, and knew it. We could feel it happening.

The subject of marriage came up.

I was telling him about all the people I knew getting married 7.7.07 THAT WAS THE DATE FOR WEDDINS!!! You all remember...

We then were discussing what we wanted it to be like. We shared both the fear of failure in marriages these days, and how we never wanted that to be us. That we would be married for the rest of our lives so we better choose wisely!

I remember Nick saying, "I think we should at least date for 3 years before thinking of marriage. I totally agreed! I said, " I have done the whole when you know you know... and was WRONG !!!! ( I had been engaged, and broke it off) I thought it would at least take that long for me to prove to myself that I trusted my instincts again.

So he then said jokingly... "If you get lucky... Maybe I can figure my crap out, and we can get married 9.9.Oniner!!!!!" Just like that!

I woke up this morning thinking about it... So I told Nick... Aren't you glad we didn't wait till YOU were READY to get married.... It would have been today! ;o)

We sure have had such a great time being together this last year +++

We would have missed out on some great times!!!

I love you honey.... Thank you for picking me to be the lucky woman that gets to be by your side through out Eternity!

Happy 9.9.09 I'll never forget it...

Finally HCG

The big diet!!!!

HCG, (Human Chorionic Gonadatropin) is an all natural hormone that provides many amazing health and wellness benefits including safe and effective weight loss.

Recently researchers have found that HCG can actually help the body burn more fat and can be used to aid in weight loss when combined with a healthy low calorie diet and a moderate exercise routine.

It can safely be used by both men and women that are looking to get their weight under control.

Here we are 6 weeks later...

I have been steady at 15 lbs down and Nick 30 lbs! He is doing awesome. We were so impressed with out fast results and how great we felt. We decided we would get out own product labelled and manufactured.....

Everyone is loosing at least 7 in the first week!!! Nick and I are going to start round 2 when we get home from Utah next week.

Game DAY!

What a way to kick off the season with a bang! Worked all day because it was a six PM game.

Made it up to the suite just in time for the game to start!!!! It wasn't the most exciting game. Tech killed North Dakota.

Company was great. Keenan and Corrie were there, and I really love spending time with them.

It was the first time that we have ate junk since being on the diet, and WOW we were almost sick as dogs!!

After the game we all went to Ruby's, and continued the party... Best part about it is....

We don't have church until 12 NOON.

So we slept in!!!!

Totally looking forward to fasting too... (I mean that for once)

On another note.... We are all OVERJOYED at the more exciting victory!!!!

OU loosing to the BYU Cougars. We totally loved that!!! LOVED IT!
