What doesn't kill you, just makes you really want to graduate

I really am trying harder to keep up on this blogging thing.
(I won't mention my efforts anymore)
I've noticed that all my friends' blogs are very happy and reflect their happy attitude.
From here on out I will try to be positive....

...but first, I have to mention that I just got home from doing a homework assignment for my investment class. We started a little before 3 p.m. and were working non-stop until 10 p.m. I was working on it with two other people and we even put in about three hours last week, so this assignment took a cumulative of at least 30 man hours. I'm glad it's done.

Now, for more positive things....
I get to watch last week's episode of Office with Tyler now.
And we are very excited to see the Cougars get crushed tomorrow!!
At Utah State, it's all about basketball

Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas

I don't blog enough.

Maybe if I write more often more people will read my blog.
High hopes.

Well, Tyler and I had a great LONG weekend. We enjoyed food, shopping, games, movies, and family while we were at home in Bountiful and Centerville. Although Tyler dreaded the shopping I think he appreciated that Santa brought him a present early. He opened this tonight....

It was this...

just some thoughts

What will I do with all my time when I graduate in four weeks?

Maybe I already kind know,
since I haven't been spending nearly enough time doing my homework.
I'd like to think that I'll keep busy with crafts and learning other new things and such,
but I will probably just bask in laziness for at least a little while.
Maybe I'll spend all my time with this little man...
My only concern about having the cutest nephew in the world, is that my own kids may not be as cute.
I think it's a valid fear.

Welcome, Daxton Luke!

We got the most exciting phone call this morning from Luke. Natalie went into the hospital early this morning. We went to church and tried to pass the time quickly, but I was going crazy the whole time!!! My parents came up around 9:30 a.m. and waited at the hospital for most of they day. We joined them around 3:30 p.m. and played SkipBo and 7-up in the waiting room. We hadn't heard anything so we finally asked a nurse at about 5 p.m. She couldn't tell us anything but Luke came out and told us that he was a proud new father!!!! Daxton Luke Nesbit was born around 4:45 p.m., weighing in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces, 20 1/2 inches long. He has cute black curly hair. Luke says he's a crier and good eater. He's so precious. Because of the stupid swine flu they only let one visitor in, which got to be my mom. She got to hold him and the rest of us got to see him through a window for a few minutes. I already love him so much! We're so glad he's healthy and doing so well and Natalie is also doing great. I still haven't seen her, which is also killing me. I think they're both pretty tired, but so thrilled. I love how happy Luke is!

Today.

I met the Mr. Jon M. Huntsman, Sr. today.
He is such a nice, giving and important man!
I smiled at him and he waved back at me.

I have many other important things to blog about (which I promise I will do),
but I just thought I would mention that one for today.

We're going to print shirts that read "I hiked the Wind Caves at midnight...and survived"

We embarked on a crazy adventure last night. Equipped with flashlights, jackets, and my fear of the dark we commenced our hike to the wind caves at 11:30 p.m. We were only paralyzed a few times by animal encounters, one time being when Tyler and I found a bat in the cave. The stars were amazing and even though we couldn't really see our surroundings, it felt beautiful to be there in the dark. We shared lot of stories and laughs and sore feet. None of us brought water so everyone, expect for smart Tyler, drank from a flowing stream which we later found a real bone in. I'm happy to report we are all still alive...I think. There's something so exhilarating about laying under the stars, being there with my husband and other great company, and staying out until 3:30 in the morning.

I see the vision.....

Recently I've had a really strong desire to decorate our living room. I've been thinking almost non-stop about it for about a few weeks and have mulled over different ideas. Some color schemes seem cool but just don't fit our personalizes or our "style". But after watching Oprah today and then reading some of Designer Nate's ideas online, I struck a brilliant chord! He said to incorporate what you love into your house. Brilliant! I looked online a little more and put all my ideas together. I think if we can make it all happen our living room is going to be rockin'! Keep in mind that we're still not millionaires so we're trying to keep this as low budget as possible. Lucky for us, Tyler has mad upholstering skills so we have a lot more options. Here is the beginning of our vision. I hope we can get these chairs and make it all happen. I'll keep you (2 readers) posted about the final project. For now, be excited!
