Girls playing Canasta

So, there are so many nights where it is just the girls at home with not much to do, so four of us have decided to play Canasta once in a while. We have played five games so far. We were doing the best 3 out of 5. The girls were me, Katie Varga, Mary Hummel, and Megan Hummel. Sadly, Megan has left to move to Texas and will be very missed so we will have to find someone who will take her place in our four some. It's alot of fun because we feel like such old ladies who just sit there and gossip all night long. Here are some fun pictures we took one night when we were playing.

All about Nate

I saw this on someone else's blog and just thought it would be fun to put a little more about Nate on here.

1. What is his name? Nathan Duane Adams

2. Who eats more? Definately him...no questions asked

3. Who said I love you first? He did. It had been a long night and he was almost asleep when he said it, so I didn't respond until a day or two later when I knew he meant it.

4. Who is taller? He is, by like 5 inches

5. Who is smarter? I would say are equal, but put us together and we could be a genius. He knows more things about science and the weather and I know more about technology stuff.

6. Who is more sensitive? I would say we are equal there too. We both let things bother us and feel bad when we hurt someone.

7. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does. The only reason for that was when we moved to Colorado, the right side of the bed was closer to the window and the left side of the bed was closer to the heater and I didn't want to sleep by the window and he didn't want to sleep by the heater, so we have been that way since.

8. Who pays the bills? I do. It's probably not a good thing because I know how much money is where so sometimes I buy things I shouldn't because I know that the money is there but I have less things to stress about so I take the heat on this one.

9. Who cooks more? I do for sure. He can cook if he wants to but I always make him do the roast in the crock pot because he does just the right amount of everything to make it so good.

10. Who is more stubborn? We both are, but probably more me than him.

11. Who is the first to admit they are wrong? Again, we both are the same on alot of these, neither of us do more than the other really.

12. Who has more siblings? Me, definately. my parents are divored and I have 13 brothers and sisters all together and he has 3 siblings.

13. Who wears the pants in the family? We share the pants. I put my foot down on some things and he does with others.

14. What do you like to do together? Play games with our friends and watch tv. He hasn't had much time to do much since school started so sometimes if I want to hang out with him, I have to help him with his homework.

15. Who eats more sweets? I do I think. I don't eat very much right after dinner but I have lots of sweet stuff at work with me mostly.

16. Guilty Pleasures? He really likes playing Halo like any other guy. If he has homework or something to do, he always does whatever he can to try to get some Halo playing in.

17. How did you meet? We met at EAC and we were in the same college ward and he was assigned to by my home teacher. He knew one of my roommates that I was living with too, but we really met through home teaching.

18. Who proposed? He will tell you I did, but it's not true. It's a long embarassing story. We were at my friends wedding and we left and then he decided he wanted to go somewhere, so we told his cousin that we were going to be late getting to her house to watch a movie and we ended up stopping at Show Low lake and I knew what he was doing and I started hyperventilating. I didn't know what I was going to do for sure. So he talked to me and calmed me down and we finally came to a conclusion that we were going to get married but he never really asked me specifically so I told him that he had to and he did. So he will say that I proposed because I forced him to ask me, but he did ask me.

Nate is so awesome and I love every moment that I am with him whether it's good, bad, fun, or boring. He is a great husband and always encourages me and picks me up when I am down and always makes me feel good. I am so proud of him and how well he is doing in school so that he can be the provider and I can stay home when we have kids. I love him so much and can't imagine my life without him.

Night Out

So, in our complex, we all decided to have a girls night and boys night. We all met at one apartment at 7 and then split up. Some of the guys decided that they were going to go do the all you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster and some of them decided to just hang out and watch a movie or play a game or something.

We girls though, had alot of fun. Most of us hadn't eaten dinner yet, so we decided that we would go grab mexican food really quick at La Fonda's and then come back and eat. So we did and then we just sat and talked the whole time about girl stuff. That is what girls night is for. Well, there were some girls that decided to bring some crafts to do. I am not crafty in the least bit, but some of the things they were making were pretty cute and I really wish I could just stay at home all day and do crafts and learn to bake cool stuff. One day it will come.

Sorry if this was really boring but, there wasn't much excitement or any detail to go into and I totally forgot to take pictures, but we had so much fun and I am so happy that we are here in Flagstaff and especially in the complex we live in.

County Fair

So for Labor Day weekend we stayed here in good old Flagstaff for the wonderful 3 day weekend. I really didn't mind staying because we have been traveling so much over the last few weekends, I was so happy to stay home and clean my house.

We decided on Saturday though that we didn't want to stay home all day and all night so we went to the Coconino County Fair!! We only took 20 dollars though and said that was all we were going to spend, and we did. When we first got there, we walked by a tent that had a polka band playing there and so of course, Nate had to stay and listen to at least 2 songs and then they took a break and then of course, he had to talk to them about it, since there was a tuba player in the band. He got so excited and the guy he was even talking to told Nate all the groups that he could join next year and that they could give him a spot. Nate was very excited.

Next at the fair was the games. We decided to play games before the rides which was a bad mistake because the games got so addicting that we didn't have money left over for the rides. That's ok though. We decided to play the game where you shoot the water at a target out of a gun and then the monkey climbs to the top and whoever gets there first is the winner. We played that like 3 or 4 times and didn't win anything. It was sad. But then Nate decided he wanted to pay to throw balls at plates and try to break them and he broke one plate so he won a little orange whale and then let me have it. He is so sweet.

After we were all done playing the games. We had a few dollars left. Not enough for rides, but enough for a treat. So we went to Dairy Queen on the way home and got us some Blizzards. We had alot of fun and were so glad to be able to go on a real date together and to spend the whole weekend together.
